I wish to make a group giveaway, but since the group is open, people woul join it just to enter the giveaway... so making it private should do it, shouldn't it?
It will be my first giveaway, so is there something that I should know or have in mind? My accoun't value is assigned as soon as the winner clicks the recivet button?

greetings

As long as the group is open everyone could join, even if you make the giveaway private.

And yes, you get your contribution value after the winner recieved the gift and mark it as that on the page.

people that are not in the group won't see the giveaway at all, so they won't even know about it

There are users that will click and check peoples profiles for group giveaways, join public ones, and then add the person to try and get into the privates

you get contributor on your profile page right away but ability to enter giveaways with a contributor threshold you've just passed lags behind a bit, not much though

You know, I was thinking about group giveaways and they just don't seem right. If you're in a very small group, of say 3-4 people, you have very high chances of winning and also get full credit for giveaways that you create for the group. Shouldn't there be a limit for group giveaways, like there is for bundled games?

I do group giveaways. The group is only for people I know on another forum, where I've won over 100 games in forum giveaways there. I love the place, but made a private group since such an awesome place did have its share of random lurkers who would snipe winning posts despite never taking part in the community. If I wasn't giving to my group, I wouldn't have done so many giveaways.
