it took a month for a response to my most recent reroll. i hope yours doesn't take as long.
i made suggestions to ease the backlog in a forum post and people didn't seem to want to fix the long wait.
they are very short staffed.

That's unfortunate, and also why many don't make steam gift giveaways anymore since you can't store them, along with the pricing differences.

I think this page needs more implementations, about that.

- obviously I made an easy specification, see the description.
- I have the approval of the winner.
Comment has been collapsed.
If they don't changed the rules to that then...
- You don't need to specify it. If it is a package you are the one that can say "you own too much of that package" if someone own something of it.
Specify will lower only the problems but the support will grant the reroll at any case. - You don't need it for the reroll. It only shows a nice acting :o)
Hope that helps.
Your "what should i do" question is very hard to answer.
None know when your reroll request will be handled. Normaly max. after 3 days.
I, in your situation, would question if the winner can write down a "i accept the deletion" comment in the GA
OR
Would buy the game at Humblebundle (nearly the same price), and use then that keys for the Giveaway. That kick your timelimit problem and you can wait till the support have reacted at the reroll request.

¿what do I do now? ¿I delete giveaway and create a new one?
Comment has been collapsed.
buying in humble bundle will be expensive and charges tax 29%... and because steam has price differences is cheap, its a giveaway for the Argentines of my country, obviously it is with region lock.
"Your "what should i do" question is very hard to answer." no, there is always a solution.

Hard to answer don't say it don't give a solution.
I listed too but both weren't great and you had luck that they rerolled so fast.

hard to answer..yes, but always a solution.
I don't think it's luck. :/

I don't think this is true unless they changed the rules recently. If it's a pack and the winner owns any item from the pack the giveaway creator can ask for a re-roll even if they didn't specify anything in the giveaway.
Checking the FAQ, here's what it says:
What are the rules for entering to win Steam packs if I currently own a number of the games contained within?
We ask users not to enter giveaways for packages if they already own the majority of the games. This allows for winners that will receive the most value out of their gift. In the end, the giveaway creator has the final say, and if they believe the winner owns too many of the packaged games, we'll allow them to request a new winner.
Bolded the relevant part.

Create a new GA and delete the other one. Would be faster ^^

Finished giveaway also needs support,can't be deleted just by the creator though.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know, but it doesn't matter for the creator how long it will take to delete the GA.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough, then another GA with potential winner who owns the game, while not even waiting for the previous one to be deleted. It's careless to bank on "activate asap" on a short sale, and also asking for rerolls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Comment has been collapsed.
That's right, I wouldn't do it that way either. I merely made a suggestion, since the Creator now depends on it being quick ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
One thing you can do in the future is make the giveaway for the base game only. That way people who already own the base game won't be able to enter. You get less CV, so it's not ideal... but if you're trying to avoid any re-rolls it's probably worth it.

You can postpone steam purchase for up to 72 hours, there is a trick to do this. There is a guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1584504433 but you'll need google translate to read it.
DISCLAIMER: I never tried this myself.

Thanks, and why do I have a problem buying with the steam wallet?
I have enough to buy it, but it rejects me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Recently steam introduced new annoying limitation on buying gifts with steam wallet. Very annoying indeed. Steam support helps, but it's not fast. Buying something for youself first helps sometimes too (probably depends on how much you've spent), but obviously it means you need to spend some wallet funds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And how do I know the gift limit is passed? I haven't bought for months.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, I created a ticket for to reroll since the winner has the base game already (the reason was that winner the full game with the dlc, not only dlc) and my giveaway is the base game with the complete dlc, have passed 24 hours of waiting, I have limited time to make the purchase by direct steam store.
have 14 hours for buy the game alien isolation collection (I'm a little impatient)
¿What do I do if the discount expires?
