Also out of curiosity, is there any kind of warning when you win anything? I never know if I should bother to check the "Won" tab because I figure there'd be something beside it to warn me if I won anything.

A green bar appears on the main page.

Also, it took me 1200 entries and a couple of months to win. I also know someone who took over a year to win. You been here a week. Be more patient.

What Delta said, but the feel also depends on what the win is. Maybe you won The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Yay! Maybe you won Bad Rats. Oh ok.

Don't remind me of that
I've been entering every Dark Souls II giveaway because I preordered my copy (for PS3) when I went to the US for the first time and my girlfriend sent it to me when it released and it never got here ;_;

It's a bit late to do you any good, but there was a Dark Souls II puzzle giveaway in the forum a few days ago. If you were a Dark Souls fan you had great odds of winning... :) Only one person found the hidden final giveaway. :(

It's not your fault the other people were masters at Dark Souls but only amateurs at puzzles! :)

Don't be so excited about it, and one day you will be very surprised, as you won something :)
p.s. for me, it's just a site, where i can give away some unwanted games...

Don't know which games you have been trying for, but before you enter a giveaway I suggest asking "Would I play this if I won?" :) You will pass up many other giveaways with better odds, but when you do finally win it will feel good. :)

Good luck!

Thank you. And that's just what I've been doing. I've been only getting into giveaways for games I want to play.

When you win a game, it feels magical. Not just any kind of magical, it feels like unicorn horn magical.

It feels really great. Especially if you get multiple wins in a short time if you are lucky.

When I get the games on my wishlist i'm like yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss. But if it's a crappy game then i'm happy but im more of on the meh side. Also if it's a long time without winning any games, it feels even better.

It took me a year and around 1,200 entries to win something. It was awesome seeing the "you won something" sign on the main page. Be patient mate.

The best part is the parade that brings the key to your house. That thing lasts for like two hours or more.

That first win... was mostly a relief. "So, you really can win something. Good!"

As has been said, and as is stated in the FAQ (though a bit unclear), you get a big-ish bar.

My first win was with about 150 entries. But that's... well, as random as others having over 1000 entries and no win. I'm now at 400 entries, more double the entries to my first win, and... no second one. Don't expect anything soon. In fact, I had almost about given up when I won. :D

Hm, this thread even has QQ on the url.

Winning feels pretty good. I imagine winning something that has thousands of entries would feel even better, but I've been happy with smaller wins. It does lose the surprise factor though when yours is the only entry.

I think I'm pretty lucky with the wins but to be honest, I only won one game that I really played for more than 10 minutes (Portal 2). Most wins were 5$ bundle garbage. So I only enter giveaways of games now, I really want to play and that are 10$+
I think there is nothing more frustrating than winning a game that is normally priced 5$ discounted to 1.25$ when...it could have been Skyrim! ^^

But you should try giving away some games yourself. Start with some bundle garbage you don't need, you will get up to 30$ of CV for that without even giving away a non-bundled game. That really helps to get into the "better" giveaways which require CV. You will see, giving away games is really fun, too!

It's like "Holy cow! I won an awesome game that I want... Nah, another bundled game with high CV" (Yeah I join if CV is high and I don't want it. It's my right!).

You win a bundle game and then run to your room, close the curtains, lock the door and cry to actually win an AAA one.

I won 3 times in the very beginning and once again like 5 months later and all of those wins were on games I didn't really want too much/games that were incredibly common because of humble bundle and one win on a giveaway that had over 3k copies so there was a really high chance of winning it(which was crap anyway). Honestly though I think something changed since then, I got those 4 gifts at around 1.5k entries and now I got nothing for the past 3k entries.
