But when i see that you made it with level 0 i want to cry because i know how many black sheeps are on this level :o(.
The half of the comments before are from autojoiners with activated thanks script. I am, sadly, not allowed to name them or i would be punished for "calling out".

I want to advice that you set a minimum level for your future GAs, i recommend min. level 2, because each one that gave one, not free, game is, at least, level 1.
Easy solution to hold the worst rulesbreakers, win resellers, autojoiner user and bots outside (40% of the level 0 accounts have infractions for unactivated or multiple wins + the ammount of used autojoiners are much more as in higher levels).
And besides that it lowers the cases of problems with your winners.

You can check accounts/your winners with:
http://www.sgtools.info/activation
http://www.sgtools.info/multiple-wins

If someone have red marks there request a reroll and put the link(s) into the support ticket.

https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/community/users
Scroll down to the bottom and look at the "per level" info and you see 970k are level 0, only around 165k have a level, 113k of them are level 1. So around 15% of the members from sg gave something and only 4% gave more as 5 games.

Infos and tests, made from a other user:

Have a nice day

Ps.: In the last weeks got 23 autojoiners suspended, because of reports from one of my group members and me, the half of them permanent. 15 of them were level 0-1, the rest level 2-5.

Pps.: You can make a easy test how extreme it is when you do a public GA (not important which level) and do a second GA, for the same game, that is private only. Now copy the private only link into the description of the public GA and watch how extreme different the entries in the GAs will be.

The stats with the 15% are, of course, only calculated with the complete ammount of sg users.
The active ones are a lower ammount.
I assume around 15k - 20k users are active and the percentage of level 0 users will be lower (hopefully) ... but because i can't backup my assuming in this case with stats, i take the ones that i can proof with a link.

It don't give so poor people on steamgifts that they can't give games away that costs together a few cents, $1 or max. $5 to reach level 2.
I better not speak about all the accounts that are level 2 without ever paid one cent for it.... (I would say they are the majority).

Each one on steamgifts have a steamaccount that have unbundled games that are worth $100+, each one have a roof over the head, electricity etc..

A big part of the, active, low accounts are only sideaccounts of multiaccounters and botfarms.

When someone cry he is poor, then take 5 min. time and look into his steam profile. You see always new AAA games, CSGO items (with worth X) etc.. I checked ALL OF THEM and i NEVER found a really poor one. Because the really poor ones would never spread it this way.

Ps.: I am poor for german standards and i am still level 7, without to exploit loopholes etc..

Pps.: Right now are 80% of the comments from autojoiners. Check their levels by yourself.
