Has this happened to you? =/

Closed

I already submitted a support ticket, so no complaining about that.

I won a giveaway for some DLC that I, unbeknownst to me, already owned. Hopefully support will re-roll it for the creator even though I'm the one that asked for it to be re-rolled.

I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what was done about it? I suppose, if worse comes to worse, I'll just drop it on the forums.

dont drop it on the forum, ask the giveaway creator for a reroll, if the support doesn't which I think they will.

He did read the OP.

Support should assist in a re-roll. The giver can also ask for a re-roll. In a worst-case scenario, the giveaway will be canceled and the giver will remake it. In any case, you shouldn't do anything at all with the DLC key (if it is a key), or you should trade the gift back to the giver (if it is a gift).

Happened to me, I just e-mailed the giveaway creator explaining and telling him to ask for a re-roll.

Reason I did was because this has actually happened to me before, but the creator didn't want to hassle with a re-roll. I'd like to do it right this time.

You do know the fix to this right? Just check if you already own the dlc...

Nope, I make sure that giveaways I enter I don't already own.

^exactly what happened. Typically I take note of the DLC I own and filter them out with SGifts Plus, but that was recently updated and reset all my filters.

I am a Ga creator and now rerolling for the third time because my winners all realize they already own the DLC.

So annoying... But, I suppose there are worse things that could go wrong. Perhaps you should be thankful that one of those didn't happen. P
