SteamGifts Tools is a tool in a form of a website that lets you do some interesting checks to steamgifts mechanics:

Link www.sgtools.info

Themes

  1. SG Dark Grey Userstyle by SquishedPotatoe thread
  2. Old (deprecated) ones:

User Scripts

  1. SGTools Helper: Help you create giveaways with SGTools typical options and marks protected giveaways on steamgifts giveaway page
  2. Links to user profile: Awesome userscript made by SilentGuy that adds links to the common sgtools checks on a user profile. See his thread
  3. Links on giveaway's winners page. The script will add a sgtools.info link next to each winner's 'Request New Winner' link in your giveaway's winners list, so that you can easily check them for non-activated and multiple wins
  4. ESGST: An all-in-one script to rock your Steamgifts experience. It integrates to and gives quick access to several SGT functionality from inside steamgifts website.

Tools

  1. Check real cv value (as we had in steamgifts v1) and it's level translation with a detailed log of every game contribution and how they add up to the final number.
  2. Check real cv for your won gifts, so you can compare with your send gifts.
  3. Check if a user has activated all his gifts, useful if you want to check a little bit the winners of your giveaways.
  4. Multiple Wins. Checks if a user has won and marked as received the same game more than once
  5. Last Bunled Games. List new additions to the bundle list of the last 7 days with a minimum of 50 entries, showing the game (with a link to steam), the date since the game is considered bundled and the date when it was added to the bundle list.
  6. Create, manage and enter giveaways with more advanced and complex filters than the ones in steamgifts.
  7. Deals and their bundle status

Limitations

  1. Since CG don’t give us an open API, all requests have to parse your full profile to check your sent games, this will take some seconds (more if you gave away tons of games!), so please be patient.
  2. The site uses a cached bundle list, so if you find a recent bundle game that gives you a full value instead of the 15% one, just wait until the next cached bundle list is ready. Cached Bundle list auto-updates itself every 6 hours starting at 3:00AM GMT (3am, 9am, 3pm, 9pm).
  3. The tool will search steam API to get the real cost for packages that has its point value truncated to 50 in steamgifts, but if the package is no longer available the tool will use the points as CV (50$).
  4. It may sound obvious, but the tool can't check not activated gifts if the profile is private.

Hello there! I have one problem that was brought by SGTools. It's a first time I am using these tools. Many thanks for creating and maintaining them!

When checking my account for non activated gifts, I get a message that game win for Sins of a Dark Age is not activated. However, when I check my "Gifts Won" list, I see this game, I see the key, marked as received. One more thing to mention, the giveaway for this game was my very first that I won, after I joined SteamGifts and it was won more than a year ago. So maybe I myself messed something up at that time?

Here is the link to the giveaway: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/CFVrj/sins-of-a-dark-age

At the time of winning game was in Early Access stage. Eventually, game was released on Steam to be played for free. And now the game is removed from Steam completely. I know that I didn't find time to play it, because I was studying and also got overwhelmed by other games. Key is used and trying to redeem it gives "Duplicate key". Could it be possible that this game, going through Early Access and later stages, being free, yet not played, just vanished from my library on Steam?

What should I do to fix this?

I just took 5 another random members from the winners list and checked them, and they appear as having it activated, so the problem is not on steam api misreporting it.

SteamDB tells that there is only one game appId, so different region appid doesn't seem to be the case here.

Are you sure you have it activated? Even if the game is removed from steam, it's never removed from your owned games.

At that time I was in Denmark, now I am back in Lithuania but region shouldn't be too big of an issue. There are some games that were visible for me on Steam store and not in Lithuania.

It is entirely possible that I miss-activated the game. What I mean is, there was a time I forgot my Steam account password, so just created a new account and was logged in on it for a while. I will look into that.

But still... Since Steam shows that key is Duplicate upon trying to activate it again, it must have been redeemed somewhere and I can't get the game on my current account. Do you have any advice on what to do or who to contact?

Edit: SleepyCat gave answer what to do.

You never activated that game, so the site does not see it in your Steam account. If you want SGtools to stop reporting this non-activation you will have to obtain a Sins of a Dark Age key/gift and activate it to your account.

Hey People,

Here's my story.

I activated with sgtools a while ago.

I've entered several gifts via sgtools but have always been sure to go through the sgtools check first.

Now I saw this giveaway in the Steamgifts forum - http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/RepWl/birthday-trains-2-to-8 clicked on the giveaway and "Banned".

Can anyone provide any suggestions about how I can get the ban lifted / appealed?

There is a script that tells you if a private giveaway is sgtools protected, you have it in the main post of this thread.

Telling which protected giveaway it's something that the author should do by himself if he so wishes.

I asked personally to the creator if he has given the url to anyone privately or published elsewhere and he said no.
I won't ban him and unban you just because you say so, without any kind of proof.

A private giveaway out of nowhere if not given by the giveaway creator is always suspicious, but you can check that with SGTools Helper.

knsys,

I have a question about my giveaway dashboard. There's a giveaway listed there that I couldn't have possibly entered because I owned the game as of 18 months before the giveaway was even created. I'm not talking about the user's SGTools rules or anything, I mean on SG itself it wouldn't have let me enter. Ideas?

8 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

You can get the url from a game you own on sgtools, if you try to enter the giveaway on sgtools, you won't be able (usually) because steamgifts will tell you that you already own the game. Of course there are exceptions to that, on games that steam api doesn't report as activated, but those are "few"

About a week ago I noticed I am banned from SGTools. From reading the forum it seems I'm not the only one.

There are some rare cases where some base steam games are not recognized as owned. This site uses a whitelist for not showing those games, if you find one please report it in the Official forum thread.

I won (and activated) the Red Orchestra 2 - Digital Deluxe Upgrade and the sgtools says I not activated this:

Hi,
let me tell you my little story : I won 2 giveaways from the same train, but before activate them, I went to the page to thank the creator, like every time. He blacklisted me...
I didn't understand, I passed the SGtool check, I bumped & thank the thread... I thought I did everything right...
So I decided to contact him : he said me I didn't pass the SGTool. He accepted to unblacklist me when I provided him a screenshot of my SGTool page that shows the URL. But now, I don't want to be banned for cheating SGTool, this is not my fault I think, so here all the info :

Thread : http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/mN9hQ/bored-of-trains-heres-a-boat
Screenshot of my SGTool history :

And If there is a SG staff member here, I'm OK to reroll both wins.

If it can help to improve the "spyware" :) Thanks!

I'm investigating the issue, mysql messed up some TZ_CONVERT randomly yesterday when I was fixing recent timezone bug when checking 3 month+ old giveaways with recent data.

Support knows it and rerolls are stopped for those giveaways right now, so don't worry about it.

Bump for news:

Problem with timezone when retro-banning people from 3 month old giveaways has been fixed. During a brief period of time during Europe night time there has been a low number of giveaways reporting invalid entries for valid users, thanks to a mariaDb derp when processing more than 500.000 giveaway entries. Those giveaways are now reporting them correctly again, so in case of doubt, double check them if you want.

IIRC either message knsys or post in one of his old giveaways or this thread with the sgtools URL/SGT giveawayID . Might want to message him since you suspect the leaker. The report center is closed.

I would still say to voice your suspicions, maybe they'll take a note of it and watch out for commonalities in future leaks.

I don't like bans either, and I stopped banning people until I'm happy with the way how banning works.

Resync profile here or on SGTools page? You have to do the second one - log with Steam account on SGTools page and go to Home->Synchronize. This should fix the issue.

It's not an issue with SGtools because it doesn't appear in your account. Did you receive a copy of the game, either a gift or key? Maybe you should contact the giveaway creator of that giveaway to figure out what happened if you don't remember. Be sure to check your inventory too because it's easy to misclick to add to inventory instead of library. You have "Demented" on your account, maybe the giveaway creator mixed it up.

Also, you should make sure that you didn't win multiple copies of the same game either since that's against the rules. You can also check that with SGtools
