I sometimes too lazy and wait almost a week before contacting the winner. So don't worry, he probably is lazy. XD

Here's what I do:
Step 1: Check GA: usually the legit guys leave a comment or say something in the description.
Step 2: Check SG profile: if they have just registered, or have a number of GAs awaiting feedback, they likely don't understand how SG works.
Step 3: Check the steam profile: if the game they are giving away is on their wishlist, or is a premium game (Skyrim etc) that they do not have, chances are high the GA is probably not legit.
If this is the case with you, it may be very possible that the user thought that creating a GA would win him the game. I would highly doubt that you will get the game if it doesn't check out.
Nevertheless, give him a week before marking as not received.
And finally: don't complain too much; you really haven't lost anything, and for every person that doesn't understand SG, there are 100s of very generous people who do.

Wait 7 days, if you get it mark as received if you don't get it, mark as not received and move on (I hope that you'll get to mark it as received though, gl).

+1, even if it is meant to be a PSA for the better, you aren't allowed to call out users

Hello :)
Last night, I won a Borderlands 2 giveaway. Obviously it made me really happy, but after an hour or two I got this strange feeling that something is fishy. I checked the profile of the creator, it was made a few hours before I won the game. And he was online on the site after I won the giveaway. Maybe this is just paranoia on my side, but anyway, I have a feeling that I will never see the game I won :/
He (or she) is online right now, but is not trying to contact me or anything :/
