If you don't accept it someone else will... Maybe someone who won't be looking in someone else profile... who knows.
You can contact him and tell him you are winner but regifting is forbidden and help him if he is new here and don't know how this site work.

Best choice depending on the point of view:

Also know that some users including me gift (wishlisted) games that they don't own themselves.

You... I mean your friend... won't get in troubles for accepting the regift. Go on, activate it and mark it as received, and then either move on or report the GA creator to the support, depending on how evil are you feeling :D

Thanks folks. My friend didn't want to post and get considered calling people out.
I'm trying to add the gifter on steam to talk to them a bit, as their account is super new. I'll see if we can get this worked out. He'll survive if he doesn't play this game, as his backlog already daunting. If it haunts him, i can always go and buy it for him.

My "friend" is in a situation, and I'm looking for advice....for him.
He won a recent GA...and the person provided the key as one should. However, when investigating, the GA creator recently won this very same game...and does not currently have it activated on their account. This smells of a regift from the creator's win, but how should this be handled so I don't get in trouble. I mean...so he doesn't get in trouble.
Should he flag it not received and notify the creator to not regift? Should he just accept it and move on?
Thoughts?

So, developments. I tried to friend this creator on Steam to talk to them and explain. Then he blocked me.
Next, I checked and they had redeemed their win on their account! (good job!)
But, finally, they took the key out of the GA so it's not available.
My suspicion is that he tried to check if i redeemed it and didn't realize it would in fact redeem it for himself...and then he removed the key from the GA.
Oh well!
