After 2 years I want to make a comeback on the site. So the best way to do so is to create a giveaway for a new non-bundled game of course ;) My question is since I'm from Poland and I pay on Steam in my currency - polish złoty. What restrictions should I put on my giveaway since I heard that you can't gift game to someone if the price difference is too high in the region. Is that true and how to check to which country I can gift the game?

Thanks for your time reading my tier 3 english ;)

What game is it you want to give away if one can ask?

If you are worried about region restrictions (and it's true, there will be) you can always try key (re)seller sites, and you can check steamdb.info but someone with more knowledge can explain better.

Not sure yet, probably something from top 50 most wishlited games on steamgifts like Cult of the lamb for example.
And I would really prefer to use Steam funds cause after selling my unused inventory like cards and cs:go skins I got over 100 $ there.

It will be different for each game. Best to use steamdb and exclude any places that are about 10% or more expensive than your region.

For example I could gift you Cult of the Lamb, but you could not gift it to me since it is about 22% more expensive in Australia.

If gifting via Steam every region with more than +10% price difference is excluded. To check use SteamDB: example for Borderlands 3. As every developer/publisher follows their own pricing strategy on Steam these threshold differs for each game.

If you want to do a more inclusive giveaway I'd suggest a trustworthy retailer where you can check the country restrictions on the respective game page and where you aren't hampered by Steam gifting rules.

Retail stores listed by isthereanydeal(ITAD) are viewed as trustworthy opposed to grey market key selling platforms.

Hope it helps:

I am not sure about it, but cross-regional steam gifts may not always depend on ±10% price difference, there are other factors as well. I think I've heard that some region can't send gifts to some another region no matter the price difference. For that make sure you look steamdb.info
