I'm a game developer or publisher looking to promote my game through giveaways. How do I get started?
If you're looking to promote a game, the best option is to create a featured giveaway. These giveaways are displayed at the top of our homepage, and receive the highest visibility. Featured giveaways are created in the same manner as every other giveaway, and our site will automatically feature giveaways on our homepage if they contain 50 copies of a game or greater, and if they're ending within four days. We feature up to two giveaways at once, and if more are available, then two will be displayed at random, with preference given to giveaways of higher copies. Please note, the giveaway will only be displayed to users that have permission to join, and if you choose to limit your giveaway to a particular Steam group, it will only be visible on the homepage to members of that group. If the limitations on your account do not allow you to create a giveaway for 50 copies or greater, then please contact support. We'll upgrade your account to developer status, allowing you to create giveaways up to 100,000 copies.
Welcome SG!
I saw the information on the group and thought, if you are a game developer, this is an option for you.🙄
I wish you luck with your game.
Will see if i can review it in my steam curation.
Thanks for the GA.
But i want to advice that you set a minimum level for your future GAs, i recommend 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.
I know no level restriction sounds great for publishers and devs in the first moment but think on the fact that each level 0 account never gave a game away.
The ammount of level 0 users that buy for themself indie games, special for (nearly) the full price, are nearly not existant and the, up to, 40% of lvl 0 accounts that trade or sell wins, will not play your game.
After that infos is the second look on it maybe a different one as the first ;-)
If someone have red marks there request a reroll and put the link(s) into the support ticket.

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.
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".
In the last weeks got 32 autojoiners suspended, because of reports from one of my group members and me, the half of them permanent. 24 of them were level 0-1, the rest level 2-5. And around 100 tickets more, against autojoiners, wait to be handled.
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.
Have a nice day
Ps.: Why one winner still hasn't marked the game as recieved after 1 month ? I don't know whats the problem, so if you have a question or need help contact me on steam.
Thank You xD
