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?

  • 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.

Haha, I thought 7 wins was the most you could have, but it turns out 8 is the cut off. I left the group early! Any chance I can get a reinvite?!

Thank you,

I am confused. When did you join the group before and when did you leave?

I joined probably 10 months ago. However, I took a little bit of a hiatus with gifting as i was pretty tight with funds, but I just came back about a week ago and left Unlucky-7 because I thought I wasn't eligible anymore because I had 7 wins, but it turns out it was 8.

As for Dark Matter not showing up as activated... It's kind of embarrassing, I was recently cleaning up my steam library, and accidentally removed this one, but it just so happens it was a steam gift, so I felt pretty bad.

you should be able to un-remove that via the automated support system. i'm not honestly sure the steps to take, but that is an option from what i've heard.

steams remove a game from the library is more of a "hide it from me" type of option though, not really so permanent like it claims to be.

Can you check the members please? I see members who won hundreds of games :/ and still joining the giveaways. E.g. this one:

The giveaway you linked says "Open to gifters" in its description. So gifters (the people supplying the group with gifts) were allowed to enter.

Ah okay. Because I though the people who got 7 or more gifts were required to leave the group.

Read the gifter rules in OP and in the topics on Steam.

They are, unless they want to become a gifter = supply the group with gifts. It might be a good idea to follow Oppenh4imer's suggestion and read the related rules.

Amazing Idea :3 Keep it up

I like the idea, though I have a question. Do the mass giveaways count? I have 10 wins but 9/10 of them come from the pinned ones giving away like 1000 copies.

A win is a win, so yes, of course they count.

Knowing how much the 'freebie' games hurt my chance at joining groups, I would've only joined giveaways for games I really want.

Sitting at a 3.5:1 giveaway ratio with more coming. I'm always thankful for the giveaways and opportunities that people bring to this site but I'm hoping I get something from my wishlist sometime. =\

I can understand if I'm not getting into the group but it might be worthwhile to consider changing the rule to 7 wins or $50 worth.

The rule is 7 or less wins to be able to enter the group, the problem is you have already won 10.
Scratch that, I misunderstood.

It is unfortunate that in the initial rush of joining this site some people enter for everything, just for the thrill of winning, only to discover later that winning something nice is actually more fun. A lot of us have been there. Alas, some people never get there...
The concept of this group is to provide the thrilling feeling of seeing the spacekitty to those who have not seen it as much, so your suggestion, while appreciated, is unlikely to become a feature of this group. Sorry you kinda found us too late.
When you plan on keeping the flow of gifts comin though, as you say, there will be a lot of other nice groups around here that will happily welcome you. Good luck!

Invite sent, welcome to the group.

Just a note: next time you win a game don't mark it as received until you have activated it on your account. Some people will report you for breaking the rules when they see an unactivated win pop up. :3
