I know that its really nice to giveaway games regardless of the ratio but Ive noticed that if someone is too quiet just winning then they are sort of placed in the "leecher" category. What are your thoughts on this? I've won 2 games so far and although small, I'm planning on giving back soon. as for the poll, lets assume all the games had the same value

After having won how many giveaways, is it courteous for a person to have a "giveback" giveaway?

View Results
Every 5 games won
Every 10 games won
Every other game

If someone can keep their gifts within 10% difference of their wins, I'm okay with them. Those people with several times more wins than gifts, well...

I like to keep my ratio At least 2:1 wins sent, but When I had few wins I was fine with 5:1. That's just me personally, I don't think that's what you need to not be a leecher. I don't really have a set ratio that I would consider bad, it's just kind of a "you know it when you see" it type thing. I guess I'll go with Delta's 10%

At them moment I have about a 1:1 ratio (not the sme value though), but I guess that as soon as I win more, I might not always be able to keep that ratio going. I really don't care about peoples ratio though, as long as it is not like 100 wins 5 gifts.

At the end of the day almost everyone here came with the intention of getting free games, so I don't care if people don't give back. I don't know what their financial situation is, so long as they are grateful for when they do win I'm happy for them to be around.

In the end, it's up to you what you feel fair. Some people might blacklist you if you win 60 games and only give a single copy of Bad Rats in return, but personally I don't do such things.

It's true OP, this is exactly what is happening.

But you know, winning a couple of games is not going to put you in the leechers list, winning 20-30 games w/o giving any games back will do though :)

I haven't really bothered too much with ratio. I've won a decent amount of games in the time I've been on this site but I just giveaway every duplicate key I end up with from the odd bundle I buy and I end up giving away more than I win just doing that.

I don't care about anyone's ratio, personally.
Although if the person has won over 60 GAs and haven't created any, it does make a bit of a bad impression.

My sent ratio was ahead of my win ratio. But recently, I won a lot of games (Bundled ones because I miss some bundles... Obviously :P). I try always to have "Sent number" above the "Win number" by 5 or 6 GA Minimum. I do My best ^^

depends and i suppose it's very subjective. i consider that someone is leeching the site when they have been around for ~3 months and have 0 sent gifts and 15 wins... or 1-3 sent and 30 wins.
but i wouldn't think the same of someone with 100 sent and 200 wins or 500:2000. even if the difference is huge, so is the number of GAs created by that user.

I'd be nice if you at least try to contribute a little, esp if you won x times more than you have given.

Personally, I like to a ratio close to 1:1. For others, I think 4:1 sent is fine.

so far i was personally thinking a five win to 1 give away was good to start out just to be courteous but i know soon i will just end up giving away copies of games i love to share with other people. just wanted to know what people considered would be a good ratio
