I went through 535 tries so far and i succeeded in 0. So, when was the first time you got your free game and what game was it?

You are level 0 and at this level most of the giveaways get 1000+ entries so it's normal. :) Contribute, take part on discussions and be patient. ;)

You got it for free mate, I'm 99% guessing. So it's worth nothing.

Games which have been given away for free are permanently removed from the system. Buy a cheap bundle and give them away instead.

Some simple math for you: If a game has 5000 entries, you have 1 in 5000 chance of winning it, every time, it won't stack. That means it could take 1 or 15000 tries to win that game. 535 is really nothing.

I won my first game after being member for 9 months and entering thousands of times, and it was only a few months after giving away my first game. Since then I won a few more, due to being able to enter smaller giveaways and entering more often. Don't forget to use your wishlist to find and enter the games you really want.

I entered 18293 and won 40 so far. That means that I win every 458 giveaway.

The giveaway with highest number of entries that I won was "Kings quest" with about 800 entries.

I would say that time depends on games that you want to win. If you enter only for AAA games, you will wait much longer than if you enter the games with less then 300 entries.

If you are looking for your first win, you should check this thread out.

Doing that will bring you a "win" sooner rather than later.

when was the first time you got your free game game paid for by someone else and generously given away by them

Fixed; Your original phrasing suggested a rather unfavorable outlook, intentional or not :X

It's been a while since this topic was brought up. We used to get one of these posts every two to three days.

  • The average length of time before a person wins his or her first game is 7 months.
  • The average number of entries before a person wins his or her first game is 1300.
  • The above statistics are approximate. Your experience with the random-number generator may vary.

Are 0 wins included? If they are, can we get statistics excluding them?

When I first joined this site I was basically just joining all the giveaways because I just wanted to win something. I now have a few wins due to that, however most of them were actually not really worth it. Nowadays I only join giveaways I really want, its much better that way! I have about 3000 entries now and 5 won games. One of those is a free game now as well. I tried all others and only really liked one of them (most recent Shan Gui). Since I've come to believe it's stupid to join giveaways of games I wouldn't really play, I've decided to only join gibs I really really want.

P.s. I won my first one about 9 months ago.
And all giveaways I won are publics except for Shan Gui which was invite only and linked in the discussions

As I said in many similar thread before: You have to sacrifice goats virgins are fine too, but they give a lesser win yield. In the beginning it will be 2 goats for each win, later you might get to an 1:1 ratio.

How about a virgin goat?

Have not tried that one. It is so difficult to verify. I don't trust my goat supplier in that regard...

Took me about a month, and I was close to 1000 entries

But I was already giving games and was levelling up rather quickly. I was fortunate enough to be whitelisted by people and was invited to giveaways... Plus I did SG puzzles and joined ratio/level groups. All have small amounts of entries

If you notice... I have never won a giveaway over 100 entries. Well excluding a recent win! So, give a game away. Sell some cards on steam, buy a couple cent or penny (whatever your currency is) and give a game away to get ou started.

The deer was given away for free as well
