Hi, I need some help on deciding whether to give a person a key of the game or not.

Whole story - a person won my GA and didn't activate the win for 2 months (among other multiple GA that at the time were 35 and now its only 11 non-activated). He recently got suspended(banned) and now asking me of the game key witch was delivered through steamgifts system and now says he can't look up cause he's suspended. I can't check if the key is used or not and I don't really want to give it to him cause he's probably gonna sell it or is there a way out of suspension(permabannana) by activating all the wins that haven't been activated. And for those curious its a cheep bundle game.

Also this is what he wrote to me and i don't know if I understood correctly:
" Hello
As soon as I see it you read it what would be the trouble for me unfortunately how.
And I would ask you for it that what I gained from you game the name of which [name of the game] write it already down his activating code because I was suspended on Steamgift oldalon unfortunately and I cannot look at it
[name] my name
[name of the game] the name of the game
[Date] won.
Thank you."

Suspensions end, tell him to wait until he has access to the site again

EDIT: as mentioned below, do a re-roll for not activating wins

If its permanent, then i don't think you are obligated to follow through..aside from the goodness of your own heart.

I say too bad for him, he (apparently) broke the rules enough to be banned.
Keep the key

If (s)he permanently banned then you MUST have a new winner for that GA !

Well (s)he marked it as received and I didn't check if the win was activated. After two months the key could be used or sold for all I know and doing a re-roll now would probably cost me 1,49€

So (s)he had won the GA and (s)he decided to didn't activate it for any reason and got permanent ban for multiple rule-breaking and now he asks you to give him the key ? actually, again !

I'd never send a "win' for a permanently suspended person :| Maybe it's just me, but this is a no-no

I'm not sure if I understand it entirely, but I guess he had a bunch of unactivated keys.
He did get suspended permanently for that. Then he wrote a ticket to support and wants to know, if he can lift that supsnesion somehow.
Support probably told him that he now has to activate all games he won - when that's done, he can come back.

You can do two things, as support is aware of the guys infriction you can ask for a re-roll. But you don't know if this guy actually gave the key to some one else, so maybe you now have a key, that probably won't work. Anyway, that would be okay for that person,. as he would no longer have to activate that game on his account, as it's no longer one of his wins.

the other option is to copy/paste the key to him, let him activate it and move on. He already gave you an "received", so, jeah If he doesn't activate the key he won't be able to come back, and can't change that "received" anyway

I'm thinking the same way even tho I kinda want this game but it would be a lot easier to just give it to him and forget it.

if he was suspended before he won, he can't see the key in the won page.
if he's suspended, ask for a reroll.

also, don't put the key on the GA before the winner is announced. always check your winners before sending it (or adding it on sg).

Isn't the added key invisible until you actually send it?

Sounds like just what sappyMA says down there. We got a multiple rule offender here that now has to face the consequences of his actions and tries to lift his permban.

As you have already sent him the key I'd say nothing's lost in sending it to him again, unless you don't want to support his rehabilitation. He once had it and didn't do anything with it obviously, otherwise he wouldn't ask you for it again to activate it finally.

It seems there's a new trend of simply not activating his wins with trading or gifting them away. Odd.
