Good idea?
Not really, e.g. you win a GA but the creator tells you that he won't give you the game. According to your suggestion, you have to wait 7 days, till you can enter the giveaway of that game, because you can't "mark as not received" before a week passes.

oh, I got it
You misunderstanding my purpose of first suggest (It's my bad).
I mean a auto-sync while who won a GA, to detect if the winner already owned the game of the GA.
If who entry a GA that he/her already own, system can auto banned him/her.
No auto check of received nor not received.
If you don't get the game, nothing different with current state.

Sometimes, people mark it as received before they activate it. Maybe auto-sync it after a day? Just in case.

Yes, i know, but if it automatically syncs when you mark it, and let's just say that someone accidentally marked it as received before making sure it works, if it automatically syncs, then the win wouldn't show up. Then a few minutes later, they would actually activate it. If the auto-sync detected something and let's say it contacted support about it, and support went to their profile and seen it was there, it would just be wasting the support's time. That's why I say wait a day, or maybe just an hour after marking it to sync it. :p Accidents do happen. Sometimes people get excited when they see they won a game, copy the key & then mark it as received out of excitement. It's happened :p

Well, I can see why we're not able to uncheck it. (Some people could abuse that. ALTHOUGH, if they do mark it first, then go to activate it, and it doesn't work, I THINK you can mark it as not received once the week has come up. Of course, if that happened then you should contact the giveaway creator first. But still, I think the auto-sync could be quite useful. Not everybody syncs their account after a win.

I would like an auto-win-all button.
So I can win all the games, all at once.
That is what I want. Make it happen!

Syncing is easily doable though.
For the latter, I don't know how that happens unless someone notices it.

there is some kind of bug: i have game, sync few times, and its still able to join geviaway

Right now if you sync your account after winning, the GAs you've entered of the same game will still have your entry, so you have to manually remove them. Just FYI

There's no need for an auto-sync.
Winning a giveaway begins a chain of events, none of which occur at a specific time :
The sync function is both simple and easy, and the user has flexibility as to when it is done so that he or she can choose the best time to use it. An auto-sync function like the one suggested would both complicate things and lead to problems.

To prevent user entering GAs with same game they just received. I think its better to auto-sync account every time user mark as received a gift. That will also help to detect if user didn't active the game when they won.
