You have to redeem it, no exceptions. Any other questions you may have? :)

From the FAQ - 'Winnings must be redeemed on the winning account.'

if you win a key here, you have to activate it or face suspension.
Can I enter a giveaway for a friend?

Without this rule, people would just enter every giveaway they can and then regift everything they win to get levels.
With this rule, people still enter every giveaway they can and then regift everything they win to get levels, but then they get reported and nobody ever opens the report ticket.
Whoa, I'm more bitter than I thought

Realistically because otherwise the system is open to abuse - gangs of people could set up their own groups and make fake giveaways for each other and rake in CV without any games actually being gifted and who would know?
And maybe also because gifters like to think they are giving somebody a gift rather than just throwing stuff away for people to farm for a profit.

Why don't they make a rule that forbids REGIFTING the same thing like if you use the same key you got in a giveaway your account is banned instead of forbidding Trading/Gifting keys to anyone. That they check if the key has been activated and that it has to be activated in 72 hours or the key will be taken from you or you will be banned. Let's say.

See my previous post. That wouldn't help with people making fake giveaways with fake keys amongst small groups to exploit CV. Also it would be impossible to police as people don't just gift keys and it isn't possible to track steam gifts in the same way. And also gifters might still feel bad about their gifts being farmed for a profit rather than going to people who might actually want them.

Can keys gotten on the site be traded here. Like if I got a key do I have to redeem it or can I trade it for another key?
