Phoenix Giveaways is a hybrid between a bundle and a non-bundle group. Most of our members come from HEM's Bundle Giveaways group which we closed at the end of February. If you'd like to up the ante on the chessieness - We died and rose again from the ashes - thus the name - Phoenix Giveaways.

FAQ

How am I supposed to know whether the game has been given away 6 times or not?
Simply check the Games Given Away sheet.

What is considered a non-bundle DLC?
A DLC that hasn't been bundled.

What if a game goes on a -90%+ sale?
It is then considered by us a bundled game and thus worth 1 point. (This only concerns sales on Steam. If the game is on a 90%+ sale somewhere else - it’s not considered bundled till signs of abusement in order to raise CV/ratio).
When in doubt -- don't give away games that were -90% off anywhere, including Steam, to be 100% safe. Use sites like steamprices.com or isthereanydeal.com to check the pricing.

How much points do I lose when I win a giveaway?
You lose the giveaway's worth, thus when a giveaway is worth 3 points - you lose 3 points (bonus for entries is not included).

Are things like Civilization V: Brave New World, Season Passes or XCOM: Enemy Within considered non-bundle DLCs?
No, they are considered expansions and treated as non-bundle games.
