I won a giveaway for Mass Effect 2. This obviously made me quite happy. I expected to wait a few hours for the key or gift. However, it's been 2 days. Now I realize that we are supposed to give a week for the game to come, which I have no problem with, but the creator has been online multiple times, even a couple of the times I checked and he/she was just online only a few minutes before.

I don't want to mark it as not received as it hasn't been a week. So I'm just asking you guys if I should do anything.

Wait until the week is over. Just be patient.

If I win a gift, when can I expect to receive it?

  • Giveaway creators are allowed one week to send the gift after the giveaway has ended. Depending on the type of gift and the giveaway creator, you might receive the gift to the e-mail address you have listed on the account page, a key might be added beside the gift you won, or the giveaway creator might have sent you a friend request on Steam to make the exchange. Please remain patient, and do not contact the giveaway creator during this time. If the gift is not received after one week, you can mark the gift as not received, and attempt to contact the giveaway creator on Steam to follow-up.

You should wait until a week has passed before doing anything.

Did you check on the Won page if the game key is already there?

Wait one week. If the giveaway creator has not given you the key (or gift) by then, mark it "not received." That usually gets his or her attention. )

Like the others mention, wait one week. Seems fishy though, have you tried to contact the creator?

I noticed that some folks just love to wait a whole week to send out gifts :P
