If there's no region restriction on the giveaway why would he do that?

To not be an ass for no reason? Everyone makes mistakes.

The giveaway creator didn't know the key was region restricted and the winner is in a region where the key can not be activated. The giveaway creator does not have a key to give the winner that will activate in their region and support does not allow picking a new winner when the region restriction for the giveaway was not set correctly (probably because it may lead to a bunch of re-rolls before a winner is found that can activate the key). The winner has the option of either marking the giveaway as not received or they can agree to delete the giveaway.

Most people don't region restrict their giveaways, as it's not usually required with most games.
People in weird regions with known restrictions often have to, and take it for granted that everyone else has to be mindful of that.
Maybe like yourself - I see you have a few region restricted giveaways?
It's common courtesy to allow deletion of a giveaway for region restrictions - as the key maybe invalid, it's just that it can't be activated by the winner for reasons that were out of their known control.

^^^^ This
If the gifter wasn't doing anything nefarious, it's just good community manners to agree to a deletion. The site rules won't allow for a re-roll to try to get a winner in the correct region, BTW, so the only course of action is a deletion.

I get most (not all) of the items I give away from Fanatical. The only way to find out if there's a region restriction from them is, before purchasing the bundle, click on a "Will this work in my country?" option, then individually check all 236 (I believe that's the number of "regions" but I could be wrong) one at a time... for all the games I'm getting in the bundle. Do you have any idea how long that would take? I do check a few, but I have never found one that had any sort of restriction. So, I don't put region lock on my giveaways, but I do mention "to the best of my knowledge, none of the games from these bundles have any sort of regional restrictions." That way, if there does turn out to be, the winner knows I didn't do it on purpose.

All you really need to do is leave a comment on the GA page saying that you agree to the deletion of the Giveaway.

I suggest you to agree with the deletion. His reason is better than those who unsure if the key of the game that they want to giveaway is working or not. Then, they expect us to agree with the deletion of the giveaway if the key is not working.

As soon as you voice your consent to delete, you're done. The rest is up to the creator and support.
