I finally won a giveaway but then....

You can report him if he didn't had a gift or a cd key.

Sorry to hear that, good luck with future (and hopefully legit) giveaways though.

Did anyone else laugh at this?

Or was it just me..

What an idjet whoever did that.

damn you admins, y u no give us gamez.

we need more thin air ... because everyone knows that gifts come out of thin air =)

Borderlands 2? Ouch.

The most annoying part about winning a gift from a welcher is that you have to stare at the green winner bar for a full week before you can click not received and make it go away.

why don't they just ban those people for life? I mean, c'mon how hard can it be to read the rules before registering?

Other way of looking at it could be like this that when this person applies for a huge donation to the society, everybody cheering at the person, saying thanks, huge press conferences, worldwide news and at the end when the donation has to be made, this asshole thinks that he should be getting the money he 'supposedly applied to donate'.
Try to look at this perspective.

Oh that guy, with 3 fake giveaways at the same time? Yeah one of them was Borderlands 2. With big games it's always a good idea to check if the giveaway is fake or not, most of the times it's quite easy to tell and you won't waste any points with it. Though calling out is a bad idea and will get you suspended, so don't do that. ^_^

Yeah, it's depressing for the first win. It might takes a while for your next win, so keep on trying and good luck.

I'm new to the website, so I might have not quite grasped it properly, but what possible benefit can making fake giveaways have? Is it just a case of people not reading how it works and thinking they can get one over on the system?

It's not uncommon with 0 CV giveaways. Overexcited noobs tend to create 3 GAs at the same time and often pick some popular "AAA" titles.
Just pay attention whenever you come across such a giveaway and report if necessary.

Sorry to hear that. Report him or his giveaway, points will be returned.

My first win fas fake Portal 2 :(

SO again, why don't we have this written with big red letters on the top of the create giveaway page:
"You HAVE TO give this game to a random person, you will not get this game!" :D :D

I was thinking for about 5 mins about this, and came up with only one reason, and it's very stupid. :D Sadly. :D

Damn that must have sucked big time. Hope it doesn't happen to you again, that's a real bummer...

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you have better luck in the future.

Feel ya bro, the last giveaway I won was for burnout paradise, but the guy was giving out origin keys not steam, and the admins deleted it. (For record I wouldve been ok with the origin key, especially when the option was no game lol.)

Well, i know you have a really bad day. wish you luck for the next giveaway, be aware with the suspicious Giveaway.
ohh yeahh you can report him. just report him!

thanks

Add the person on Steam and discuss and if he doesnt send you the game than mark as not received and move on...points are free. ;)

My friend did the exact same thing. For some reason he thought that the site provided you with a couple free copies of games to give away to people to see how things work. He then tried to send the gifts to the winners by clicking on the Send Gift link. It was when the winner kept telling him that he wasn't getting the game that he looked into it and realized that wasn't the case. He however manned up and bought copies of the games for them and all was well. Sorry you got scammed, keep at it!

I know that feel bro.

The Void. I was disappointed, really wanted to play it. But Borderlands 2... uch!

Damn. That's very bad luck for a first win:( Condolences.

So there's actually people who thinks the system works like that...
