I won a giveaway, but....

Contact support.

No poll, no answer.

You sure it's a regift, not someone giving away his key after he won other key?

Could use some proper support answer, but I think you could take key and report it to support and then they would delete giveaway, which means no CV for regifter?

take the key mark as not receved so u will take the key and it will not add to his value.

I think you should marked it received as you did indeed received it. Then report them.
It's not fair that they are getting CV for it, but that's why they'll get suspended.

Contact support they are the only ones that can fix this mess,and the original person will not get a mark if they prove that the gift was re-gift,or i would hope they would.

Always contact support with these things,so many posted about this sort of thing,though i suppose i get why someone might ask,but when it comes to anything to deal like this always best to contact support.

First off, you can never be 100% sure if a game was regifted. He could've delayed in activating it and gifted you a legit copy. Therefore, don't be the judge of it. If you suspect him, report him. Then, treat him like any other member - he sent you a working key, mark it as received and let others finish the job of investigating etc.

Don't do anything. Just leave status ''awaiting feedback'' or take the advise DanZDK...

Don't leave feedback and re-gift it yourself. Show him two can play his game.

I would not redeem the key. Instead, here is what I would do:

1. Contact the creator of the previous giveaway for this key. I can do that by commenting in his/her giveaway. Responding to something he/she wrote will instantly notify him/her of the message.
2. Tell him/her that you think I have his/her key. Ask to chat on Steam.
3. Discuss it on Steam. Try to determine if it's the same key. If I think it might be, encourage the original owner make a ticket for it under "Request New Winner." Support will be all over that as soon as they come online.
4. Wait for Support to clear things up.with possibly a re-roll, a giveaway deletion, or both. They will also deal with any regifting.
5. Profit.

Under normal circumstances, I could expect a turnaround time of about two to three days for all of the above. Maybe less.

As others have said, it's better to explain what happened to support. Create a ticket in the Others category because a user report might take months to be resolved.
It's your win, so activate the game and mark it as received otherwise you would be breaking the rules. The original creator will get their received feedback if support find out what happened. I had a regifter who didn't leave feedback myself.

Are you sure you won a re gifted game? check his profile to see if he owns the game.
You can ask support if you dont want the key, or aren't sure if he's a regifter, what you cant do is accept it and mark it as non received, you will face a small suspension for that

if he does not have in his library the games that he have won on steamgifts, he will be banned from this site, for a week or something like that.

I'd activate it, mark as received, and report the regift. Seems fair to me - you won it, fair and straight.

first of all contact support to let them know the situation. they will tell you what toi do, if you dont activate you will get a ban, so if the person that is regifting didnt activate his, he will get banned eventually.

Seeing as how you said it was part of a mass giveaway (mentioned in another post above) I would activate the game, mark as received and then report the ass to support for not activating games and regifting them.

There is no reason to leave the key for him to use to try to get out of the dog house with support, make them spend money to put the game on their account to teach them a lesson.

Heck even if it was part of a mass giveaway i'd still be suggesting you do everything I suggested. I would also talk with the original person who you think gave away the game, make sure it is actually the same key and if it was marked as not received on their end, have both of you talk to support about getting it marked as received so the original giveaway maker doesn't suffer because of the ass.

Happy cake day. don't know what to do.
the regifter should be punished, not you or the original game GA.

Happy cake day, thatsok9.

So, here is what you should do. If the key is available on the giveaway you won, please activate it and proceed to mark the giveaway as Received.

If you think the user you won a giveaway from broke a rule, that's another issue and you should report them accordingly.

I read some of the advice in this thread and most is not what you should do, if anything, some might even get you in trouble.

After you've seen this, please close the thread if there are no other issues.

Man its almost if they do it on purpose to quote the latest regifter ''Oh, I am sry. Next time I will enter the giveaways that I only want:(( I were so excited:)'' by than he is lvl 1 to enter giveaways from a single regift ><

Please check my message above, thatsok9. I wrote what you should do.

Closing this, again.
