Sorry in advance for any grammatical mistakes or anything like that :)

Just asking, how long can it take before you get (or don't get) an email that says you won?
What I mean is after a giveaway ends, will the winner instantly recieve a confirming email? Or does it take a couple of minutes?

No. SteamGifts does not send automated messages informing you of winning to your e-mail address.

You will see the green banner which means you are a winner immidiately after the giveaway ends, or after 15 minutes max. However, the gifter has 7 days to provide you the offered game after that.

Now that you brought attention to this, I'm also curious.
Is the $100-worth-of-games requirement gone?

Hmm.. he has Tomb Raider and Bioshock: Infinite. That's like... 50$ worth? Maybe their value isn't updated. Bioshock was 60$ and Tomb Raider 50$ not so long ago, right?

This happens all too frequently, especially during free weekends.

Here is how it works:

1) The giveaway ends and a winner is randomly picked from all entries.
2) The won giveaway shows up on your "won" list, here.
3) After a bit of time, you will see a green banner at the top of you SteamGifts page informing you of your win.

The giveaway creator then has seven (7) days to contact you and give you a copy of the game advertised.
