Hello!

GREAT NEWS§ I won my first game here after < 400 entries! But I'm not here to be boring, and GOD THIS FIRST PARAGRAPH IS BORING.

Nah, I just discovered 4 hours after the end of the giveaway that I won. So I check my mail, nothing; then I go on the "won" section and here is the option to say if we did get the gift or not. I've also checked the profile of the gifter, and it says he has one gift received, and another one pending.

The pending one must be me, but I just wanted to be sure: does the website show this when the gifter did check the box "I've sent the gift" in Steamgift, or is it standard procedure and the gifter will soon send me a mail?

As usual, I'm complicating things :/

Let me resume: I have no mails, but in the profile of the gifter it is written "Awaiting feedback from the winner". Is it normal or not? If not, I'll try to contact him.

Thank you for your answer! :)

Gifter has 7 days to send the gift to you. If he does not send it in that time, create a Support ticket and mark it as "not received"

OK so even if it's showing "Awaiting feedback from the winner" on the Giveaway page, that's normal, that doesn't mean that he sent me the gift. I'm relieved ^^

They have a week to get it to you before you'll get the option to mark it as not received.

You won't get a message from SG about the sender clicking the 'sent' button. If you want to, bookmark the giveaway page and check it manually.

The best thing to do for now is be online on steam as much as possible, and make sure you're checking your email somewhat regularly. Have your gracious face ready, and be patient.

It's awaiting feedback until you've clicked recieved. The "I've sent this gift" is mostly pointless to be honest. It's more of a reminder to the gifter about if they've done it or not.

for those who are curious...

tl;dr I won and didn't get them game yet.

@OP- You have to give him time. Check if he wrote how he will send the game, some prefer email, some prefer adding directly on steam. Once you do receive it, you click in 'view won' on top and click on I received the gift. And that's it. The 'Awaiting feedback' thing will go after you marked it as received.

You have to wait for at least 1 week to mark it 'Not received' in case you don't get it by then. But you will probably get it in a few hours.

No need to be impatient, some people don't have the time to check constantly if they have to send a game; personally i used to mark the end of the giveaway for a time i was around, so the email was pretty damn quick.

Anyways, congrats on your win!
