36 hours at Level 5, and some questions

and there is no reason to boot you from the giveaways

According to official site policies, you're deemed as having an ineligble entry. The GA creator can choose to accept (or simply not notice) the status of your entry, but they also have full reroll rights on the basis of the entry not being valid. You can also see this reroll allowance for ineligible entry granted if the winner wasn't in a required group at the time of their win.

It's worth highlighting that there are plenty of users (especially in the past) who will flood games [eg, from free promos] for CV before staff can adjust the CV, and then enter giveaways. Considering that site rules always emphasize restricting exploitation, it's entirely understandable why the allowance exists (and why it defaults to an assumption of exploitation, as it's harder to prove the contrary). Rather, it could be considered surprising that the site doesn't run an automatic check and bypass on such users.

There's also a handy script to add links to SGT directly to user profiles.

I've identified the title.
It appears I had the bad luck that the game got a 90% discount right around the end of the GA, although I had bought the key in February.
That's the hazard of sitting on keys!
