Do You prefer giveaways that end very soon or with longer? And why?

I prefer day long ones. sometimes 2 or 3 days. Just as a general rule for mine.

I generally set mine to end at 10pm my time. So If I do it before 10pm you have a bit over a day. If I'm doing it at 1am before going to bed then you have a bit under a day. But this lets everyone around the world have a chance to see it and it means i can send keys at the end of my day.

I don't mind the longer week plus ones but I don't generally make them myself. That said I have done both longer and much shorter ones as well but I think my standard is a day or two at most.

I like a short 1 hour one if I happen to be on and can enter. I dislike them If I don't see them. :) lol.

I prefer the middle option approx. 2-3 days to get a decent number of entries but at the same too allow giveaways to turn over reasonably quickly. I occasionally do flash giveaways but its more about if you happen to be on at the right time which isn't fair to people around the world so I don't tend to do them often now.

I usually make public giveaways that last a day or two, and cover all levels.
If I make a group/invite-only/whitelist giveaway, they usually last a week or more.

Typically I like to make giveaways around whatever level I've won recently, to give back, and I usually set the end times for a day off, so I know I'll have time to send them and won't keep the winners waiting too long.

If I have to pick between entering a wishlisted game giveaway with 5 minutes left with 200 entries or a giveaway with the same game that has 10 hours left with 200 entries, I'll pick the 5 minute giveaway every time. Guess that means shorter. And if I don't see the giveaway because it's too short and I miss it, then so be it...

most people prefer short giveaways because they will have less entries, unless they miss it because their bots they weren't online ^^

you should do whatever you want.
high level, low level, no level, long, short duration, bundled games, aaa deluxe $120 collections, everything is ok. 🤷

Quick GA are fun because they make it feel rewarding to visit the site every day. Longer term GA are great to spend points on games really interesting to play. They tend to attract tons of people, obviously. A good balance is always best: fun and dynamic. :)

I tend to join GA in the higher range of my contributor level, and group GA. I tend to create GA with the same criteria, most of the time but not always and generally for 1 week. GA above my level and all way up to 10 are a good, very good thing. Some people here are amazingly generous and totally deserve their level 10. It's just feels normal to have freedom in setting the level, a personal choice that should never be questioned. Level 0 GA are fine too, I would even say they are necessary to keep this place vibrant. We were all new here at some point in time!

A good variety is what is making SG so successful in my opinion.

What is missing is a different level system for public GA and group GA. I would like to see a Public CV and Group CV. It's not the same to give to everyone than to a closed circle of people sharing GA.

Ideally, my idea would be to have a specific level for each individual group, in addition to your one Public CV level. Yes, we could be level 4 in a given group and 3 in another one while being Public Level 5 (or 2..).

Edit:
P.S.: I would have a higher Group CV than Public CV, to my disadvantage but it's still the best system I can imagine. ;)

Usually I make quick giveaways. That take like an hour or 2. Because most of the give aways I make are gifts so I have to add the winner and hopefully they are still online that hour. That way I can quickly send him/her the gift
