Very bad luck. Hopefully you won't encounter similar cases in the future. I have been quite lucky with all my winners but I still wait for one bad example to come.

That's honestly sad. Having somebody not appreciate a gift is sad enough, but just abusing the generosity of numerous people is... well... a tough day for support and gifters. :(

You know, that's sorta impressive for all the wrong reasons.

Archi, you inspired me to double check my winners for public giveaways (something I generally don't bother since most are cheap bundles) and ... I hate you for it D:. So many tickets and I'm only on page 3 -.-.

My record was 3 rerolls in one giveaway, but it was for a DLC though.

my record was 5 rerolls in a row I believe but it was back in days when we were allowed having custom rules. 4 winners in a row all being rulebreakers that were not caught yet is seriously either bad luck or indication that the regifting problem is getting out of hand...

Yeah I knew from the beginning that I'll need to make a reroll or three, but 4 rerolls for one and the same giveaway made me a little sad.

How can one member win 6copys of one game - isn´t that the most mystery. And if one member wins more than one copy of a game i would reroll copy 2,3,4.... and only left one for the winner. I think this would be correct than i can´t also enter a game i have in my account. So if he activates copy 1 he cant win more copys.

simple - he didn't activate neither from his wins, they were not in his account and he was allowed to keep entering.
as for rerolls - and who would delivered rerolled GAs 2-6? GA creqators for these already sent games to this guy, he marked it as received, just didn't activate it. Nonetheless keys are probably already used, gifts sitting in his inventory, links redeemed - so what after a reroll you propose? ;p

Very unfair behaviour - i activate every game as soon as poosible and than i sync profile so that the won game isn´t shown any longer and i cant win it a secont time.
Isn´t it so that the gifter must sent the key manually by klicking "sent". So the gifter can recognize (maybe) that on member has won more than one copy and than sent only on key - but tihs may work only for people like my gifting not many copys at once.

he can, but a lot of ppl don't do it, because they are lazy, because they create tens if not hundred of GAs and so on - and before such a person gets caught and gets suspended he may "steal" a lot of games ;) Plus you only get a reroll if person was either not caught yet or didn't activate in last month. So even if your winner didn't activate 20 Games but was already suspended and it was more than 1 month since his last non-activation you don't get a reroll and have to send the win to this person :(
And yeah - you are supposed to activate all the games on your account - but these ppl either trade them away for profit, are multiaccounts and activate them on main acct, regift them to raise their own CV or regift them on main account to raise it's CV ;)

I just noticed that this was giveaway for my region RU+CIS. A damn shame, but i'm not really surprised, i saw here some people from my region with high level (5+) that tried to gift 5 copies of free game "because everybody doing this".

Wow, so unfortunate.
And it's sad to see people from my region constantly break the rules, they earn bad reputation for a region as a whole.

My record so far is a Europe Universalis IV DLC (guns, drums...) won 8 times

This time you got lucky. None of them was caught before so you got rerolls granted. That is not always the case (

Winner of one of my giveaways have won not 2, not 3, not 4, but SIX GIVEAWAYS FOR THE SAME GAME.
And you know what's the best? He didn't activate even one on his own account.
Fuck this
Reroll approved, new winner did win the same game only 4 times, and regifted one.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
2nd reroll approved, 3rd winner won the same game only 3 times, and didn't activate even one.
IS THIS FUCKING REAL
We got 4th winner after 3rd reroll, this time guy won the same game only 4 times, didn't activate even one, and both regifted.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ANYMORE
After 4 rerolls, 5th winner finally didn't break any rules of the site, and received my beloved game.
I wouldn't believe this myself, so I'm attaching screenshot, I'd also want to say big thanks to SleepyCat, who probably had the worst SG support day ever.
