you could use sgtools and apply custom filters, easier to get rid of rule-breakers. you can fine-tune the ratio or cv required to enter :3

The best way to avoid having to reroll is to spread out the giveaways. You don't really need to check for duplicate winners, though. If someone wins a 2nd copy, they should contact you for the reroll, which will cut down on the amount of work you need to do.

Yes that could happen, but I'm fairly certain, that most of your re-rolls had to be made for high level winners?! see below
So that risk is rather low, just because the punishment, in case that they get caught, wouldn't be worththe trouble for someone at level 8+.

It would be nice that if you won a game, Even if you didn't get the key yet, the site would auto-exclude you from any future win/entry until it's marked as received or not.
I had this happen to me a week or so ago when I won 2 in a row (from the same person no less, thankfully).

Just a thought.

so if you enter 5 fallout 4 GAs,
win one,
you get removed from the others,
and that GA is fake,
you automatically lose all others?

There aren't that many people with level 8-10, so if you make multiple copy giveaways for a short timeframe, chances aren't too bad, that someone wins multiple copies, if he/she joined all of the giveaways.

I think a good idea could be to let the giveaways run for a longer time, like multiple days, but let them end at different days, so users could withdraw their entries, when they won something. They couldn't do that if all of these end at the same time!

Besides: seems that I was wrong about the need to delete your gieaways. Hum.. well, again, sorry about that

The risk that you will have to re-roll somebody will always be there. This actually happens a lot, you can just minimize the risk!
Also you can really decrease the chance of multiple wins, when you let the low level GA's run for a longer time period and if it's a featured GA (so that more people see it).
Those giveaways often get 10k entries!

For High level GA's you can at least hope that these users know how the site works and that most of them visit this site on a daily hourly basis, so if you give them the chance to remove their entries with different ending times, then they'll probably just do that, without having you to write them!

In the end you don't have to worry about users multiple wins, they have to look out and contact you.
And support tickets don't have to be that formal, so asking for a re-roll, shouldn't take too long for you either.

If you want to avoid rerolls - I think would be better not to run many giveaways at once, run one but with many copies. And make a day or two delay before next giveaway. This would minimize the risk that someone would win two giveaways of same game unintentionally.

Try to check how much is giveaways of game that you want to give already up. If not so much, then there is lower chance to rerolling
