some months ago i had won a gift. after a few days...it was gone! the creator must have rerolled it without a reason. the Support couldn´t help me because the don´t see giveaways that you had won but that got rerolled.
some days ago this happens again. i won something and now it is shown no more. this is stupid! the Support could at last write a support-message or something. i was eligible to win and the ga-creator didn´t try to contact me even once. :(

Maybe you were blacklisted by the creators of these giveaways?

My thoughts as well. Normally they post a link to their blacklist on the giveaway description.

there was no blacklist in the GA. i always look into them although i am, as far as i know, only listed in one blacklist because of a missing comment...

this. the realy shoud fix this issue in steamgifts v2
it would help if it stays in your list, so that you can look after it again and see if you realy make a mistake and overlooked something

If you look through your entries and find the specific giveaway, we can tell you. I checked my internet history and haven't done a re-roll for you, so I don't know.

I do know that you won one of my giveaways very recently. I checked your games and you already had it in your games list so I asked for a reroll and it was granted. There was no actual need for me to contact you, cause there was nothing you could do, it was already in your account.

You should double check when you enter a giveaway for DLC to make sure you don't already own it. As far as I know currently most if not all DLC is not automatically removed from the giveaway list like most games are due to the way steam does things. So its up to the person entering the giveaway to make sure they don't already own it.

Personally I use Steamgifts plus to make sure I don't see giveaways for DLC I already own. Steamgifts V2 will have this same feature added right into it where you can hide any game/DLC/Item you want. But again it will be up to the person entering to make sure they don't already own it. To do that, I always go to the steam page for the DLC to see if I own it. If I do it goes on the list, if not I enter it.

Maybe this is a good suggestion for V2 of the site, have rerolls automatically send a message to the person who originally won a message about why the reroll happened. It would at least inform the person.

wow, thank you very much for your reply! i have my answer then :)
yes, i know that most dlcs aren´t filtered but i´ve added many to my steamgifts plus filter and thought i got all. it could be that i entered it in a break at work where i have no steamgifts plus addon.
i would have noticed it when i activated it and would asked for a reroll.

i don´t know. but there are only 2 options....rerolled or deleted. but in eiter way, a short notice what has happended would be nice. when i am at work, i have only very short time to look in steamgifts. when i see a green bar, i am happy and lokking forward to later, after work, when i look what it actually is.
when i then at home have no green bar anymore, thes is sad :(
