Newbie Question: Entering giveaways where you own some of the games...

Closed

I've had a look through the FAQ and couldn't find anything explicit besides "You can't enter games that you already own".

I would like to know what the rules are if there are packs/bundles where you own some of the games but not all (barring personal giveaway rules).

I've read some people have said "own less than 50%" of bundle but I couldn't any actual rules saying that.

It's up to the giveaway's creator to decide whether or not you may enter, most of the times.

Technically, as soon as you own at least one item from a bundle, the gifter could request a reroll. It's best to ask the gifter what's his personal stance is if it's not specified.

thanks guys, so there isn't a direct rule from SteamGifts itself about it then?

The rule states "Do not enter the giveaways for games that you already own" So entering a pack/bundle which contains games you already own can be considered breaking this rule.

You're allowed to enter but if you own any of the content the creator can requestva reroll and will get it . Some will specify in the description, some won't. This is the only "rule" that is allowed on public giveaways.

if the gifter and the winner are both aware, and okay with it, is Steam Gifts okay with it? I don't wanna assume or get into trouble, thats all...
