I see. well in worst case scenario once its confirmed there will be no game we do get our points back i think

And the way the system works here is broken for these exact reasons. I've seen countless instances in the past where you guys on the staff seemingly care more about 'protecting' new users that have no idea what they are doing rather than the interests of your legit userbase, who want to do nothing more than simply (and politely) to insure the integrity of giveaways. It's sad when legit users get punished when their intention is to improve the site, but then completely illogical that an offender creating a giveaway that turns out to be invalid gets away with no reprimand or significant consequences whatsoever. It's a bloody injustice imo. I would even go so far as to say that certain people on the staff have in the past used this blind, bureaucratic, and dogmatic adherence to "the rules", without regard for the practicality of it all, as an excuse for nothing more than to throw their weight around and feed their own ego. It was nice that the site was finally redesigned after being promised for more than a year (it looked for awhile like would never happen), but the policies were never updated and are horribly outdated. It's analogous to throwing a nice fresh paint job on a clunker of a vehicle. It doesn't really matter if what's under the hood is faulty. There are no systems in place to stop invalid giveaways from being created by new users and the policies here are and always were obsolete. You simply cannot operate on an honor system. There are too many dumb people on the internet. We see this every day, everywhere. I've spoken to numerous people in the past (one as recent as a few days ago) who echo and share many of these same sentiments, and who feel you are doing them (and the userbase in general) a disservice with the way things are done here. The site is nice, but the support here flat out sucks, period. I could write a very long essay outlining exactly why, and why the site and it's staff is deserving of heavy criticism, but sufficeth to say that that would be a complete waste of my time. I have no faith in any of you after the things I have seen over the past 2+ years, nor that it will ever change for the better. None whatsoever.

Wouldn't it be quite easy for the site's Admin/Coders to just add a checkbox just above the Create button when making a giveaway, putting in bold, different coloured, (red, preferably, it gains attention more than other colours), something like,

"I understand that the intention in which I'm creating this for is meant for me to GIVE AWAY this game to the user who wins this raffle. I also confirm that I am fully aware that this giveaway will in NO WAY hold Steamgifts, or any of it's users, under any obligation whatsoever to provide me with this game as it pertains to this particular giveaway."

You could make it so they can't even create the giveaway without first checking that box, similar to the TOS we all checked when signing up.

I assume it wouldn't be too much trouble, anyway, but then I'm not a coder myself so I could be wrong.
