As long as you activated the copy you originally won, no problem :)

Is that Roogoo ? Because it looks like you haven't activated it. If so, I suggest you forget about regifting it and activate it instead.

Oh crap, how did that happen?! Thanks for the tip, the gift was in the inventory, and I activated now.
Btw, how do you check that this quickly?
My giveaway is for a different game:

There's an userscript that checks users for unactivated wins : http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/6fClz/userscript-links-on-profile-to-steamgifts-tools-real-cvnot-activated-gifts

If it's not regifting then it's perfectly fine.

Heck, you can give it away the same day, so long as you activated the copy you won. You'll probably get reported by at least five people, but if you've actually activated the game and are giving away a different copy, you won't be suspended for those reports.

I assume people who bother reporting do bother checking the person's library.

What if he won a game, buy it & activate his copy after getting the gift and regift the one he got delivered from the giveaway?!? :P

No way to prove it really. What would it matter in the end?

it doesn't matter at all. You have to have game you won activated on your profile, that's all. It doesn't matter if you activate won copy or copy you buy on your own, as the end result is the same - you get one on your account and one spare copy you can do whatever you wish with.

That's actually kind of dumb, because then if the key was already used or fraudulently purchased, you're on the hook for a copy of the game. Better to give away the key that you know is legit and activate the gifted copy.

For keys it's dumb, for gifts it can be profitable if you live in a region-locked area. I never thought of it until someone pointed it out to me.

Win a region-free steam gift here. Buy a region locked gift of the same game if it's still on sale or even from traders and activate it. Trade your region-free copy of the game to someone else as region-free will be worth more and the winner could make a little on it.

Pretty shady, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone has done that. If there's an angle or possible exploit it's usual that people will have tried it.

Was just trying to mess with your head there. But after reading uraniums post, i do believe he made a point.

As long as you have won game activated on your account, you can gift it anytime. Nobody will check whether you bought game after winning it and gave actual copy you won really.

Hum... his real contribution value is three times higher than yours, so I don't see why you're pointing fingers.
Or maybe is it because he's won a lot? Well then, good for him, no?

Yes you can gift a game you won previously if you redeemed the original one you won.
