Won the same gift twice.

Seen this happen to many people, but never thought i was this lucky. Well, Unlucky.
I won SUPER DISTRO 4 days ago www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/1saO8/super-distro
forgot i signed up for another giveaway for the same game and received a second key from this giveaway http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/5yT9V/super-distro

Is there a possibility i can return this key ?! because afaik (and as far as i've read) devs don't really care that much about the GA after they end.
Admins, is there a possibility to remove someone from a giveaway after they've won the game once ?!

And what can i do now ?! I am a member of a group that doesn't allow breaching SG rules. I wouldn't allow myself to do so, but... HALP =D

Argh, lucky me.
Edit, i've been suffering terrible internet for a while now. I am sending this from the mall (better reception). I might not be able to reply asap and i am sorry in advance for that.

Well, I'll wait a week then decline it. Looking at more and more threads of the same issue is such a downer.
Um, i'll try explaining this to my group and SG support via this thread as a reference.

I have the exact same issue atm with this same game. I contacted support, they said to post in the game thread for a reroll, and mark it unreceived in your profile after 7 days, so you don't show up as winning multiple times.

No need for admin, just ask owner to re-roll winner upon your request and provide the reason.

I get this message "You do not have permission to view this giveaway, since you're not a member of the required Steam groups.".
Thank you for the reply =)

You can ask for a reroll by contacting the giveaway creator directly to make a reroll ticket. They can cite the chat log as proof. Be sure to mark the second game as not received if over a week passes to prevent a ban, and don't do anything with the second key (regift, trade, etc)

If you don't know who the giveaway creator is, make a support ticket explaining the situation and link the giveaway. They can point you to the right person.

Ok, it seems the giveaway creator of the 2nd giveaway is the same as the first one you won. Good luck contacting him...with 1000 and 400 copies giveaway I don't think he'd care about one non-received feedback and doing a reroll, but you can try.

Wouldn't you prefer to be pro active and use search feature instead waiting for someone to give you advice? You're not the first one with such problem.

It's not that easy though. The easier solution is to just leave every giveaway of the game you won. That's what you should do, anyway.

Make a post in the giveaway asking for a reroll (you can also make a ticket to support to add information), do not use the key and don't update the feedback (you should leave it pending preferably).

Closing but if you have any questions, please contact support.
