I'm just curious about the criteria most people use to enter giveaways. Do you enter every giveaway you can if you have the points? Do you only enter giveaways from your wishlist? Do you enter a giveaway for DLC for a game you have even though you don't really care about it?

Personally, I have a list of specific games I'm interested in, and mostly just enter for those. Since I'm using the SteamGifts+ add-on thing, I filter out every game I'm not interested in, so while the whole giveaway list may be 20 pages long, most pages are totally empty, or have one game in them.

I enter games from my wishlist or sometimes, by random because of reviews.

I don't know about you, but my P lowers only when the giveaway finishes. But again, the more giveaways the faster my P raises again.

i do only enter giveaways i think i would enjoy. recently i won ravaged but didnt enjoy it and now i feel like an idiot because i took a game i dont like wich someone else could have enjoyed. All of this happened because i was to lazy too watch a review. @_@

I do a touch of research into the games. If anything my wishlist has exploded since joining the site, as there are many many good games that are under the radar.

I didn't even have a wishlist until I joined this site. There are so many games that look awesome that I didn't ever think to bother looking at.

Personally, I only enter giveaways for games I want or that I think I'll enjoy. Mind you, the standards are reasonably lower than if I was to pay for them :p

Enter only the ones I believe that I will like. However sadly. One of the ones I did win I have not enjoyed as much as I hoped :( Turned out to be a little broken... for a bullet hell game.. you would think it would be a lot harder to die in it actually was :(

Generally, I just pick random giveaways. I mean, I pick games that I think I would like first, but in general I just cycle through the list and pick them off. Far too many points than I probably need.

Giveaways with less than 500-600 entries for games that i would probably play.

While I have been known to temporarily stash points in a giveaway, I take them back out, again, if I don't want the game. Of course, this practice can become difficult when SteamGifts goes down for longer than two days....

Generally speaking, though, I enter giveaways for games I want but cannot afford to buy for myself.

IDK how you enter giveaways...I personally think this site is a scam as I've never gotten a game but I think the forum community is great.

I haven't won anything yet, but I have a flawless plan. At first I enter every giveaway. Use up all 300 points. Then, as they each get down to one minute, I cancel my entry and quickly put them into something else. It's the only way I've found to enter every giveaway. I'll let you know when I win one.

P.S. Be sure to pull out all entries before you go to bed or you won't have 300 points in the morning.

I have a lot of games on my wishlist (125), so there's usually something I want. When point generation is slow, I look for > $30 CV giveaways for better odds or group giveaways. When the points poor in (like with the Origin Bundle), I'll join any game I think I'd enjoy, regardless if it's group/CV or not.
