Every game won must be redeemed on Steam. This rule is important and appropriate.
I have a little problem right now:
I sorted out my library and removed two games I won. (ROMBY and Sacrifice Dungeon)
I wasn't thinking about steamgifts and now I have the problem.
The only proof for redeeming the games is my Astats account, but this could get reseted.

What should I do? I don't want to be banned.

As far as I know, the removal process can be undone. Just search for that, for I don't really know how it goes. But, someone else will probably chime in with the correct step-by-step procedure.

You must have those games remain in your account one way or the other.

DarkMercy already got the best solution, but just to mention, I believe even if you remove a game the log of it being activated on your account stay on https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/ as a acquisition by retail.
But to avoid issues it's for the best to just recover them.

No, the log of the activation gets hidden from the list.

Whoa, had no idea, thanks for the info. I believed would appear there as it's not those logs are visible only by the own account.
Out of curiosity the log just disapear or leave a empty line or something like that behind?

I removed lot of games too, but I have another question. I need to find out, if I played any of those removed games or not. Is it possible to find out this information somehow? I checked Steam, Astats and Completionist.me and have not found my playtime anywhere...

Hmm just giving a guess here, but maybe if you restore the game the played time will apear back.
I had removed a free game before (idle clicker game to hide the hundred hours with it), on a later moment I installed if again and all previous hours played apeared again on my list.

Profile settings now allow you to have your playtime be private, so you wouldn't have to remove a game from your library to achieve that anymore. You can even make it hide your in-game status from other players while you're playing it.

Oh most of my games I'm not ashamed to show that I've spend way too mutch time playing haha
But when I noticed the little silly iddle game apearing as 3rd most played on my list I ended removing it after I stoped playing to hide haha, ended reapearing with full time later when i reinstaled, not cared to remove again as it's a silly thing anyway ^^'

Never got the point of hiding playtime (people that are ashamed of playing too mutch of something I guess), I would hide iddle game time as ins't a time really played at all, just iddle time with it running, but "meh" for other stuff ^^ (Guess there's now way to hide a specific game playtime just all or nothing)

But thanks for the tip anyway! :)

Instead of deleting the games from your account you can hide them from your library.

I add all games I win to a custom category so I know not to remove them, and rather just hide them from my inventory if I'm not interested in them any more. Just a little tip.
