resentment

Have you heard of the unlucky7 group? They're a great place to get your first few gifts - look them up within the discussions :)

I also noticed you entered 250 giveaways, that's a pretty low amount when most giveaways have at least 1000 entries. Don't be disheartened; just keep at it (and maybe create some giveaways yourself to level up!) :)

If there are around 1000 people entering the giveaways you enter, chances are that you will win 1 giveaway for every 1000 you enter. With only 251 entered, I would not expect a win yet. You can try to find more giveaways to enter for games you want, find a group that you can join to increase your odds of winning, or give away some games yourself to increase your level so you can enter giveaways that are restricted to higher level users.

You can see at the bottom of this stats page how many users there are at each level. A lot of the level 0 users probably don't use the site anymore, but there are certainly a lot more level 0 and 1 users which means that giveaways for those levels will have more people entering and a smaller chance of winning.

If you give anything away that has not been free in the past, you will be level 1. It is also not hard to get to level 2. Giving away the games from 2 cheap bundles or possibly 1 good one might get you to level 2 depending on the value of the games.

its like the lottery if you keep going for the big jackpot youll probably never win but if you go for the scratchers your odds start to get a lot better

U entered 251 giveaways, what u expect? :D i enterd almost 20k and won 29... in 10 years...

I second the two suggestions of the Unlucky 7 group (that's how I got my 2nd win* in 10 years!) and increasing the contributor level. At level 0 you're competing with bots and most of the games without a level restriction are trash and/or porn. Of course "you have to spend <Games> to make <games> is kind of bad advice, generally, but surely you have some keys lying around Having a ban on your account bars you from some giveaways, as well (it's one of the defaults for SGtools).

• My first win was one giving away 50,000 copies lol.

You've only entered 250 giveaways, so your odds of winning are quite low as most of them probably had many more than 250 entries.

Think of it like this, in order to have a near 100% chance of winning, you'd need every one of those 250 entries, to have no more than a total of 250 people entering the giveaway. But even then you're not guaranteed a win. Your just very likely to.

In order to keep the feeling of having a chance at winning, i only enter for games on my wishlist, or ones i find interesting that have less than 1,000 entries, and end in less than a day.

read rules and how to apply and in a matter of a few days you'll see a spacecat!

You obviously haven't found true Nirvana, or else you wouldn't be sad about not winning.

Resentment, bitterness, indignation, irritation are all synonyms for what I feel for not winning the free lottery for computer games. Now say that out loud and see if it doesn't sound silly.

One tip I can leave to lessen your resentment is to visit the site from one to one hour and look for the short giveaways that last 1 hour. Less people participate and more chances you have to win.
