Sometimes you'll get a legit one. Staff has pointed this out over time even with examples. Is it a risk? Sure. But what do you really lose in the end? Regenerating points. Not so bad. If you think that it's fake then just report it and move on with your life. The rest of us will see what happens. shrugs

yea i agree with this, a time or 2 ive seen odd giveaways and messaged the guys, asking " hi i saw your giveaway on SG and was wondering if it was region locked? where did you buy it so i can make sure" and they would say "bought it? what do you mean? i dont own it and havent bought it, i was just making the giveaway so someone can win the game i was just being a nice guy."
a few ppl ive done this to have said this lol, so its true people honestly think copies of games come out of thin air for people to win lol

I hate it when people call fake giveaways a scam. Like the user is out there trying to profit off of your points or something?

Why are people that enter these giveaway not so clever?
Points are free and most of the time they are sitting there with no use, some people like me decide to use this points for these so called "fake giveaways" and take a chance to see if they are legit or not; if they are and you win... Bingo, you got an AA game, if they end being fake you just get over it and could even join groups for people who won fake giveaways.
Either way, you lose nothing but have the chance to win a great game.

I entered Call of Duty World at War a while back just to use mods in it (and I could brag to my brother) and I won, but the guy who did it entered one giveaway and then created it... It sucks when you lose to games like that... Now, I wasn't just insanely disappointed, but I would hate to have won something like Tomb Raider and it be fake...

You didn't waste anything, your points were returned to you when the giveaway was deleted.

Right, misread the OP, thought it was deleted. Well, you'll get back your points when it's deleted then.

I didn't win one but just seconds ago 3 copies of Tomb Raider were given out. Turned out the guy made an account quickly and did a fake giveaway. I laughed when I looked how he had a Dota 2 card in his inventory with his full name on it. (some tournament badge).
So I wasted 50p for that fake giveaway.
