Pretty simple question, really. When I see giveaways for a game that I really want (but can't afford, at least until I get a job), I tend to enter multiple giveaways for said game, to hopefully increase my chances of winning (fat chance). But what happens if the stars align and I win two giveaways for the same game? Can I tell one guy to reroll for a new winner, or will I be banned or something before I have a chance?

EDIT: Going to bed now, so I'll check this thread again in the morning. Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Accept one and ask the other to reroll.

This. It's happened to me before. This is the proper way to handle it.

You can tell the creator of the giveaway to reroll the giveaway.

what you should do:
take one and tell the creator of the other one to re-roll it.
what you should not do:
take both of them and make a giveaway out of the one you didn't activate.

To add to the not to do list:
Don't take both and trade the unactivated one either.

Ask for a re-roll on one of the giveaway.

Then you were obviously hacking and CG bans you for life while the other mods set fire to your home and dance around it.

NEVER take both.

It would be pretty rare, first by winning both, and 2nd being in such close proximity to each other.
You'd have to be super lucky and also not check the site for a week or so.

Take em both and run like hell!! Nah, just kidding.. ask one of them to do a reroll. Even if you want to give the second one to a friend and the giveaway-creator is okay with that, it is against the rules (as it should be, since anyone would say "its for a friend", no matter what ;) ).

But you wont be banned for just winning the game twice ^^ As long as you dont mark both as "received", everything is fine ^^

If the other giveaway is re-rolled, it will disappear from his won-list, so he can't mark it as received/not received.

Yeah, thats what I meant ^^ Because he was asking if he might get banned before he can take action (=ask for a reroll).

Alright, thanks for the clarification. You're the only one to fully answer my question, haha. I figured asking for a reroll would be the obvious thing to do, but I didn't know if there were any unspoken rules about entering multiple giveaways for the same game. Thanks again.
