I know some of you are aware of this already, but many aren't.

So if you plan on gifting on Steam head over to Steamdb and check the pricing and see what's 15% or over, and these are likely who you won't be able to gift to. This percent is based on the data that SG member Luckz found out using Steamdb regional pricing data when attempting to gift Steam users in different regions. I've provided the pic below for those wanting to see it. Just to be clear the percent is not an official answer from Valve.

So now it's time to create the giveaway! When creating your giveaway apply the appropriate region lock tags provided through SG. For those that don't know about the region lock tags on here you want to check ones you can gift to, not vice versa(this mistake sometimes happens). Please remember to take into consideration sales times and that the winner has 7 days to redeem the gift, so plan accordingly.

PSA: While the prices can be appealing in other regions of the world, keep in mind if you use VPN on Steam to buy things you can lose your account. We're not talking about a VAC ban, we're talking about your account and all your games gone permanently.

Hopefully this thread will help some of you who weren't aware of any of this previously. :)

I've provide a pic that explains things as well.
Here's a simple pic that explains things.

Will it work in my case? Is this restriction on top of the 15% rule? I have been trying to figure this out but i am not sure :((

I figured I would give this a bump since the Summer Sale is going on.
