Entering Public Giveaways.

I would never enter a private giveaway

Most of my wins are from public GA so i dont think is a waste of time/points I joined cause of the free games fo course, I dont have access to a lost of dolars to buy games so if someone kindly gives me one I'm happy, so if I win nothing dont have an issue, im trying to play all the games that I win. And if I see a game that I dont want I just dont enter, I guess alot of people is doing the same as I do.

Also If I get a key of a game I dont want I make a GA or leave it on the forums, and I will continue doing this.

I enter any giveaway for a game Im interested in as long as I meet its requirements. Since I filtered all the stuff I dont want, I quite often have entries in every visible (to me) giveaway. For example right now I have 110 points and nothing to enter. I will likely seek something on the forums (invite GA), but its likely I wont find enough interesting stuff anyway,

i take the level into account only when there is a lot of the same giveaway at the same time, and i don't have much point to spend.
Generally i don't look at the level, i only join giveaway of games i want to play and don't feel like buying myself. Then i join based on the number of entry, as simple as that. the giveaway i join with more than 3 hours (or the time i won't be able to check until) are generally great games that i don't see many giveaway due to the price + a high number of entries.
These games are some id love so much to play that i don't care of the level etc as they are not too many of them so i still enter to ge ta chance. (since you will hardly win it if you don't enter.....)
Besides, i am not in groups with "small number" of people and i don't have so many time to waste with needlessly hard puzzle to find more private giveaway so... i still have enough point to join the public giveaway for the games i want whatever level is required^^ (though sometimes i am in need of point, like now with all those space marine giveaway :D)

Since there aren't too many giveaways for games I'm interested in I usually join all the public ones I can find for it. Most time the private giveaways have games I'm not interested in. And all my wins on Steamgifts are from public giveaways. So I don't know why I should stop entering them.

My second win was on a no lvl with 2k entries, super rare but it happens.

It depends for me on the game.

I typically will only create a giveaway with a Level 1+, I believe that it's easy enough to get to Level 1 that anyone here for the good of the site should be to that level, but it doesn't deter me to enter them. When you win a huge GA like that it sure makes you feel good too I bet haha.

if it's on my wishlist i'm joining public or private. Joy of winning some game you have been wanting for months is greater than winning random game.
