No, it's a shitty advice that would get OP suspended.

No, because it would count as re-gifting and/or not activating.Which goes against the site's rules.
And that gets OP suspended.

OK, I'm not going to bother with you because you are either a troll or retarded.

It's against the rules:
Can I enter a giveaway for a friend?
You should only enter to win giveaways for yourself, and if you win a game, it must be activated and redeemed to the Steam account used during registration. If a friend is interesting in joining giveaways, they'll need to register for their own account.

It's still against the rules to give it to a friend as you can read above. You seem to be a bit on the dense side of things, so I'll just leave it at that.

How is he going to activate the same game twice on his account ?

"You should only enter to win giveaways for yourself, and if you win a game, it must be activated and redeemed to the Steam account used during registration."
Once he activates one game on his account, he won't be able to activate second one on his account resulting in breaking the rules if he doesn't ask for a reroll

...if you still don't get it, I really have no idea of how we can help you understand.

That giveaway creator made a mistake. They should have instead asked for a reroll since you already owned the game. Just because somebody made a mistake, doesn't mean it's allowed.

You should have reported those accounts then...I hate it when people complain about something and don't do anything to improve it.

1) they are not blocked. What you mean is blocking to enter GA-s for games you already have. But non-activators/regifters are not filtered, you can win multiple copies
2) that is different. Shady, but at least it has no trace in anyone's profile

Activate one of them, contact the creator of the other giveaway to explain them the situation so they can reroll (you can do so by leaving a comment on their giveaway)

One win per week is pretty lucky, there are people who go months without a win
Comment has been collapsed.
To avoid future occurrences, you should not enter multiple giveaways for the same game running at the same time.
Why? There are no rules against it. It's not a big deal if you win twice, as long as you tell the creator to ask for a reroll.

You are right. That rule is no longer there. Thanks for pointing that out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why should we not enter multiple running giveaways for the same game ? Chances to win are pretty low as it is, so if I see multiple giveaways for a game I want, for sure I will enter them all.
Even if you are in multiple giveaways for a game, you have more chances to win none of them than one them, let alone more than one of them. Even in the event that this situation occurs, there's a simple solution to resolve it (solution that you have given yourself), so there's absolutely no sensible reason not to enter multiple giveaways for a game you want.
cope with whatever penalty mods decide to apply on you.
There will be no penalty, as long as OP does what you have said

Well, I've been here for almost two years now, and I'm pretty sure there was a rule against winning multiple copies of the same game. I'm deleting my OP now as it turned out to be inaccurate. Thanks.
Comment has been collapsed.
That rule is still there. But if you win the same game twice and one of the giveaways is rerolled, you are no longer the winner of multiple copies of the same game. It only applies when the user takes both copies instead of telling one of the giveaway creator to ask for a reroll.
