Unlucky-7

A group for people that have won 7 or less games on steamgifts.
The idea is to help boost morale and help make things a bit more fair and friendly for everyone.


Rules of application normal membership:

  1. (1a) Your steamgifts account needs to be older than 7 weeks (So 2 months and above)
    screenshot on how to check join date
    OR
    (1b) In case your account is less than 2 months old -
    you need to have 7 or more completed giveaways on steamgifts (You gave away 7 or more gifts)

  2. You need have won no more than 7 gifts on steamgifts (0-7 wins is ok, 8 or more will disqualify you).

  3. You need to have your previous wins on steamgifts activated in YOUR account (steamgifts rule).

  4. You need to activate all your wins in YOUR account (steamgifts rule).

  5. You are not a documented scammer (e.g steamrep)

Once you've won 8 gifts or more -
You need to leave the group (unless you want to stay as a gifter in which case you can't enter most group giveaways yourself).


Gifter membership

  1. Gifters create giveaways for group members.

  2. Gifters can only enter 'open to gifters' giveaways IF they have a +7 gift difference in group. screenshot check yours here

  3. Be atleast level 3 on steamgifts

  4. Have at least a give/sent ratio of 1:1 in numbers

  5. Make atleast one GA per week in case your gift difference is under +7 until you reach that mark

  6. Must keep a gift VALUE bigger than 0


Group giveaway guide - when you create a giveaway and someone wins DON'T deliver gift until:

  1. Check your winner has 7 or less wins on their profile.
    (unless it was open to gifters / multi group giveaway)
  2. Check your winner is still a group member by visiting their STEAM profile. Like this
  3. Make sure your winner has the gifts activated in their account, alot of new members don't bother reading rules.

When its time for you to leave the group:

  1. Leave all ongoing group giveaways you're a part of.
  2. Sync your steamgifts profile.

FAQs

  • How do I sync my profile?
    Like this

  • How do I check my steamgifts join date?
    Like this

  • Can I enter to win a gift for my friend / family / brother / cousin / dog / pet gerbil?
    Gifts have to be activated in your account. This is a steamgifts rule.
    If your friends want to join, have them apply here.

  • You don't have to enter all group giveaways - Remember you only have up to 8 gifts so choose wisely!
    Its actually much preferred if you only enter giveaways for games you actually want.

  • Can non gifters create giveaways for the group?
    'Normal' members can also create group giveaways for each other. Actually this is encouraged.

  • Can I join the group as both gifter as normal member?
    You can join the group as both, or become a gifter once you have won the gift quota.

  • I have more than 8 wins but not all wins are from the group, do I still have to leave?
    Yes, the win count refers to your steamgifts account, it is not group specific.

  • I have to leave the group but still have ongoing group giveaways I am part of, can I still win those?
    No, if you have to leave please exit all ongoing group giveaways you are a part of.
    We get very angry when we have to perform dozens of re-rolls on people that left / were kicked from group days ago and still "win" group giveaways.

  • I am a gifter but have less than 8 wins on steamgifts, can I enter group giveaways for normal members?
    yes, once you reach 8 or more wins you become a full 'gifter'. Until then you can enter all 'normal' group giveaways.

  • I am a gifter and want to enter 'open to gifters' giveaways. Why do I need this silly +7 gift difference rule?
    This is not a ratio group, however, we've had cases of people not understanding that 'gifter' members should be...gifting.
    So if we see a "Gifter" that won 20 gifts in group and only gave away 3 bad rats we will be angry.

Good idea to have this group?

Yes - We need more groups for new and unlucky people

Uh...I literally won my 8th game today, and was kicked within an hour by the looks of it. I've only logged on now and seen both the kick notice and the gift won here. Bit quick isn't it? I was going to stay on as a gifter...

hey man. quick q. for the giveaways that are implying "open to all", it's mandatory to have the +7 right ? and is that applied to the exclusive Unlucky GA's, or any GA that also has Unlucky group in the entering ?

For UL7-only GAs: As a gifter you have always have a gift difference of +7 or higher to join "open to gifters"/"open to all"/...(similar) giveaways.

For multigroup GAs: If UL7 is your only group, you'll need to have a GD of +7. If you are in another group of a GA, you may join with a GD lower than +7. But keep in mind that your GD goes further down, in case you win.

I've been kicked and read the following:
"To all who will be kicked in the next couple of minutes:
You have won more than 8 games, you are a gifter but your gift difference is far below +7. Despite being below 7 you are joining giveaways.
If you want to return with a bag of gifts, you are welcome to re-apply in the thread on SG."

I was very careful to not enter giveaways from the Unlucky-7 group. And I was building my gift difference of +7. So I don't understand why i'm kicked?

Is the gift difference i build up gone now?

Sorry for my late response.

Thanks for the re-invite.

If i happen to have entered a Unlucky7-exclusive GA, that must have been an accident and I'm sorry. I was really paying attention to not enter Unlucky7-exclusive GA's ;).

I'll do my best to get some good games again for this group. I mostly only have IG bundles to spare and I think those games wont get 5 entries.

Ten days have passed and you did not create any giveaways for the Unlucky 7 group. Your gift difference is at +1.7.
We're cleaning up the group currently and are removing inactive gifters. Sorry to say, but goodbye, you've had your chance...

Comment has been collapsed.

It was not clear to me I had to create giveaways at once? I'm still not entering any giveaways from this group.

Like I said, I only have IG bundles to spare. I'll happily create some GA' s with them right now. But I'm affraid they wont get 5 entries. And if they dont get 5 entries, they dont count towards my gift difference, right? I don' t care about the CV...

Besides, the last gifts I gave this group were 3 weeks ago. How is that inactive :S?
And how can my gift difference not be a round number? And i gave away more then 1.7 games :S

It is the opposite way, you will not gain CV, but your giveaways will count towards your gift difference (at least I think so, I don't actually know exactly).

The unround number occurs when you win or gift a giveaway that, among Unlucky7, is shared with other groups.

We made some changes to the gifter status requestability, and please excuse me if you feel treated harshly, but we're in fact facing quite a lot of exploits in this group. Not saying you're trying to do that, just saying that as we don't know you it's hard for us to judge who's actually here with a good will and who just wants to leech.
May I ask - why is it so important to you to stay as a member in this group?

8 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I do feel treated unfairly. I'm sticking to the rules and get kicked.

I understand abuse prevention and i'm all for it, till it unfairly hits users like me.

If you wanna know why its so important. First off its a principle thing. I also have games left from time to time i feel are worthy of a good winner and i feel this group is good for that. I also hardly ever win since i only enter GA' s i have actual interest in, and the games I was most happy winning came from this group, so I like this group.

I know I can't enter gifter giveaways until i'm at +7 tho. I do seem some GA' s of games i really like to enter from time to time, but I don' t since i'm not at +7. But since I just finished school and started a company I'm 10 euros short of buying the game i really want (Planet coaster), so I don't have the money to buy The Witcher 3 just for this group.
And I've noticed some bundled games I really liked hardly getting 5 entries in this group, so I was affraid it wasnt gonna count if I gave away such games.

I didn't know partial give aways were partly counted. I just included it in my whitelist giveaways to include this group actually. But I also did several exclusive giveaways in this group when I felt this game would be liked enough here :).
Now I know partial give aways count to, I could create more splitted give aways to be sure of the 5 entries. Since I have a list of 300+ keys ready to be given away.

I have a ratio that is in the plus, I really dont understand how i can get marked as a 'leecher' I also have a positive ratio on the site in general. So how could i be a leecher or exploiter?

EDIT: So you say this giveaway: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/NdQf8/spandex-force-champion-rising will be counted as a 0.5 gift difference for me?

I can't view this giveaway since you obviously blacklisted me. Well, thanks :(

I'm sorry. when i feel Injustice is just my weak spot and I get a bit defensive.I unblacklisted you.

I do have respect for all the work and time you guys put in to manage groups. I could never find the time and energy. And i'm certainly not organized.

Sorry for replying so late, I left for a party last night and just came home..

Thanks for understanding, Sleuteltje! Nothing of what I said was directed at you personally, I'm really sorry when it came across like that. But I think you also got a little emotional and maybe misunderstood some of my words in the stream of chemicals such turbulences are stirring up.

I sent you an invitee back into the group. I found your arguments pretty convincing. Please excuse my overeagerness in your case.

Sorry for replying even later, I read your message quick and kept forgetting to reply.

But I still wanted to say thank you and say sorry once again for overreacting a bit.

I made some new give aways :), will make more soon. I do wonder if they'll get enough entries and if it helps me with my gift difference tho. But I'll guess we'll see when they're ended :).
