The new winner will likely have the same problem. This is not the correct answer.

Dunno if you have or had a brain; but apparently you didn't spent any brain-power during the last 9 months on learning the rules of this site.

Do you know anything about the English language? You don't understand the person you're replying to, and I just made up a meaning for what you said because it doesn't have a meaning of its own.

Not the fault of the person who sold it to you. Give it away (with a warning about region) and move on!

He didn't buy it from anybody, he won it from another person here on steamgifts. He can't give it away as that is against the rules.

That wasn't trolling. You were trolling by trying to get someone to break the rules. (Yours was only accidental trolling though.) =D

It's rude to give advice that will get someone banned. That's what you did. Everyone else was saving him from that. They're being helpful. You have things backwards.

Just let him/her know what happened and ask him to reroll, pretty much the only thing you can do. Also, don't listen to new9uy, he is messing with you :3

Writesupport about it so they can delete the giveaway. Sadly that's all you can do.

Region locked games aren't allowed as giveaways, so when you say it's not the gifter's fault then it is at least against the rules...

I don't think Magicka is region locked, I doubt it's the gifter's fault

Ask the guy who gave it away for a version that works if he can't provide it contact support and mark it as not recieved. Its not your fault he gave away region restricted games

Do not regift this Magicka, delete your giveaway.

Contact support and report him/her for gifting a region restricted game. Also if your going to regift it in that giveaway you recently created then you should delete it before you end up with a suspension/ban.

please choose one i'm going crazy with all those different answers

If you read the FAQ it's not hard to know which of those suggestions are good/bad.

1) No re-gifting (it will get you suspended)
2) No gifting of region locked games

So as others have stated before, you should either
a) contact support and have them remove the giveaway you won
or
b) wait 7 days and mark the giveaway as "not received"

In the meantime you should un-check the "received" box for that giveaway, because if you have marked it as received and it's not in your library, you will get suspended (because people will think you traded/gave it away instead of activating it)

It's the original giveaway creator's fault for giving away a regional locked key.
You might also want to contact support for further instructions and you could also tell the original giveaway creator to give away the key to a friend that can use it, since it's of no use to you.

Do not mark it as received and report it to us in support. Do not re-gift it.

there is only one why to go about on this and that is to mark it as not receive and do nothing with the key, although you may want to contact the giveaway creator first to see if it's just a mistake.

It his fault, mark as not received, cause you actually not received it. Take it easy. :)
