I don't rememer how I found it, I just registered out of curiosity and did not use the website at all for several months, then I started buying bundle games in a Steam group and people were often linking their SG profile for rep after the trade so I started using SG too

I used to do giveaways on GameMiner.ru, but once Valve started getting strict on regional games, it became impossible to actually win anything there because 90% of games had become restricted to Russia. During my early level spamming and before gems existed, I used to just give away cheap emotes/backgrounds for free. I found the SG steam group and that seemed like the most suitable place to do it, so I made a thread there where I ended up trading something like 300 emotes. Then I realised it had an actual site, decided to join, hello.

Well I googled "free steam games" or something like that. But I somehow ended up giving away games before I won any. And now i've ended up here just stalking the forums all the time!

A guy I was trading with told me to leave the +rep here... The very next day I won Bloodsports.TV. I can't thank him enough ;v;

I was looking for a way to trade bundle leftovers (it just seemed inefficient to activate things I was never going to use). This was the only real working platform for doing so I found that day, and I've been here since. I mostly traded, and only started using the giveaway portion of the site recently.

I believe I found this site through reddit (/r/Gamedeals iirc). Someone posted a screenshot of the current giveaway spam and I decided to investigate the site. Once I found I could win free games, I joined immediately. My only regret is I didn't know about this site earlier.

I joined to enter some IndieGala giveaway* featured on their Steam group page or something like that.

I was looking for free Steam games, and after the usual Youtube video videos with "fool-proof" methods, trying to get you to download their Trojan horses (or so I assume) I ended up here.I was skeptical at first but after spending some time on the site it seemed legit enough.
I've tried all the other GA sites that came after but SG being the oldest one it also has the best and largest community, which in turn means more giveaways. (An no pay-2-win gimmicks like GameMiner or Playblink were you need to give them money to join certain giveaways)

I think I saw a link on some forum while looking for something gaming-related. It might have been an article? Maybe a comment section.
...Heck, I don't fucking know.

But yeah, moving onto me, it hasn't been that long since I've signed-up here, but my found wasn't exactly new. I saw the SG links quite somewhere on forums and sometimes when searching for specific games in Google. Well, I always avoided because it didn't make much sense for me at the first thought. I thought of being possibly scammed so I stayed away, seen it "Definitely can't be legit." at the time. And plus I'd usually giveaway my games to my friends since I didn't have any community.
But then, some lot's of stuff happened, I lost three of my best friends, and now the last one is in army for another year, so I'm alone, also left alone with my extra keys. :P Well, I went and tried for G2A, for a while, and it actually worked up for some. I have Final Fantasy XIV and soon Heavensward too thanks to it. But after I got what I needed I got bored again, and selling and waiting was too boring.
So I went and typed in Google: "Steam Giveaways". So I checked through the first page and signed up on four of them (One being SG). SG mainly got me for the design, to be honest. So yeah, my first giveaway happened with a DLC. I didn't decide to stay on to be honest, but there were like some games on my wishlist I saw being given away, so I was like why not. But then I've learnt about CV system and more levels => more giveaways. So I used my last pennies on G2A to get a game, gave away.
But yeah, right now I guess I'm pretty much... At least hourly checking the site. Started up GD too, meanwhile I wait stacking for more points. So yeah, that is my story. What's yours? :P
