Fake giveaways that promote youtube channels should be deleted or they should send proof to admins of this site that they have game or key.
I just seen many account created huge giveaways that cost around 180 bucks and all they do is promote his youtube, and is looking for subscribers.
While even he does not have giveaway.
I think every giveaway like this should punished or deleted if creator cannot provide proof of his gift.

You will get suspended for pouring out. Delete the links at least.
The bad thing is, they know that you only know if a ga is fake when it ends, so they have four weeks to promote.

There was another thread about this, with discussion about whether this constitutes calling out.

Please note, in giveaway descriptions we do allow users and developers to link to their related Steam Greenlight, group, and store pages, as well as their social media channels. Users are also able to reference their group giveaways when posting in the Group Recruitment category of our forum.

You can make giveaway now and buy gift later

I know but they are using SG to scam people to get subs and views. I hate this so for any giveaway that promote something should have gift ready before they create giveaway.

I have nothing against people promote with giveaway that have game, scamers are problem. Guy creat this don't get enough of likes or subs and then decide not to give game.

They will just get suspended for fake giveaways so they may not do it again.

In theory people could go and dislike their videos once the GA has ended and been proven to be fake.

However, people won't bother remembering, so they'll likely just go and dislike the content immediately if the giveaway is suspicious, meaning that any legit givers will suffer if they want to promote their channel.

I think I spotted a fake giveaway, what should I do?

.
We typically allow all giveaways to run their course without judgement, and allow the giveaway creator a fair chance to prove themselves and to come through with the gift in the end. An exception is when the giveaway creator enters a description that clearly states the giveaway is fake, or if the description illustrates a lack of understanding of how the giveaway system works. Please refrain from posting any comments accusing the giveaway creator of posting a fake giveaway, and only create a support ticket if the giveaway is fake beyond a reasonable doubt.

Due to the rules of this community, support will let those giveaways run until the end. Your suspicions mean nothing.
If the winner don't mark the gifts as received after the giveaways has endded, then you can be helpful and THEN write a ticket that points out, that these giveaways were fake and THEN support can actually do something.
When these videos all lead to the same channel, then support can actually ban adverstisement of that channel - it's not that difficult.

Make a ticket and report them. I think it will be enough if they check how many canceled AAA GAs the users have made.
