hello everyone,

Today I'm launching this group. You've asked me for something like this on several occasions. It was created with the intention of creating a strong community of SG users.
Are you tired of running giveaways and not getting any thanks if they win?
Would you like to be sure that the people who are going to win are people who are going to play or really want it?
Are you tired of seeing the same giveaways over and over again?
Do you want to have more chances to win by participating against fewer users?
If you have one or more yeses to these questions, this is the group for you.

To enter, you must be level +3 and have a ratio, that is, real CV divided by real RV, greater than 0.35. (Periodic checks will be carried out so that we are all within that minimum ratio.)

Rules:

-In this group manners are essential, both in the operation of the group and if you win a prize, it is essential to be grateful. Failure to thank a Giveaway won will result in immediate expulsion from the group.

  • Nor will it be tolerated that the winner, continue to enter SG and not redeem the prize for days, this practice, which can be associated with a BOT behavior, will also lead to immediate expulsion.

  • All giveaways will be conducted through SteamGifts, and taking into account the value given to each game.

  • All giveaways that we give away exclusively, must be with full value, and no one is obliged to perform any or to participate, but if you win 3 full CV exclusive giveaways in the group, that you need to make 1 full CV giveaway for the group as well." The ratio is 1 full CV giveaway for every 3 full CV giveaway won... Shared giveaways do not need to be full value.

-The deadline for holding a mandatory giveaway for winnings will be 48 hours.

-Giveaway creators generally like games to be played, if the creator decides to make it mandatory in a giveaway, the winner must commit to play it during the next 2 months. Failure to do so, only for games decided by the donor, will result in expulsion without notice.

-If the giveaway has any other restrictions that the donor was unaware of, it is mandatory to accept the cancellation of the giveaway. Lately, it is not easy to know where to activate it. The giveaway creator chooses the duration of the giveaway, maximum 4 weeks and minimum 24 hours. Giveaways must be from a global region, although there may be restrictions, but it must be global.

Below are answers to questions and doubts that have arisen and that complement the group rules.

  • Types of Giveaways:
    Exclusive giveaways and shared giveaways. None of the rules apply to the latter, and they are freely chosen. They do not count toward the group's internal ratio.

  • What ratios should I maintain?
    The group's internal ratio is 1:3 for the number of giveaways, and 150 for the value of giveaways. If you have -150 value in the ratio table, you must resolve the situation within 48 hours at the latest. The external ratio, in SG, remains at 0.35.

  • Can I run a giveaway with regional restrictions?
    All giveaways must be global, although a small number of restrictions are allowed, given the current difficulty in finding any. Therefore, those restricted to a specific region will not be eligible for the group's ratio.

  • Do I have to play all my wins?
    It's not mandatory, it only becomes mandatory if the game's donor requires it in their description. You'll have two months to play the game, and the donor will be responsible for ensuring that the user complies with their rule for that giveaway. If I'm notified that someone hasn't complied with this rule, the giveaway winner will be removed from the group, but not indefinitely, only until they resolve their win and the donor requests their reinstatement.

  • Can I create a giveaway for a game with mixed or few reviews?
    if done exclusively, this giveaway will not count toward the internal rating.
    A game must have at least 100 reviews and be:
    Mostly positive
    Positive
    Very positive
    Extremely positive.

  • Full-value games that are currently or recently bundled
    The current value in SG will be taken into account, but any changes that may occur during the first 15 days after the giveaway ends will also be taken into account.
    If any of the giveaways become of reduced value during those 15 days, the value of that giveaway will be reduced by 85 percent. It will still count as a full-value unit, but its value will decrease.
    This measure is put in place to ensure the quality of the gifts, as well as to eliminate potential abuse of certain giveaways.

  • low participation in a giveaway
    As in SG, the minimum number of entries will be 5 for a giveaway to be considered valid for the internal ratio. In this group, I think we're all demanding and like to win quality games. This measure will help ensure high-quality giveaways and ensure equality among all users. Again, I remind you that no one is obligated to participate, but if you do and win, you must be supportive.
    This link will help you find giveaways that will surely have more than 5 entries.

*More answers can be added as more questions arise, thank you.
**If you do not agree with something, you can request a survey among all members of the group to modify any rule or measure, requiring a simple majority for its modification.

What are Full Value games?
These are games that SG considers high value, without asterisks. They may or may not be recent, but their reviews, to be valid for the group, must be rated mostly positive at a minimum, with a notable number of reviews ( 100 minimum )
Games without reviews or games with no apparent value and inflated prices will not be accepted.
If you meet the requirements, which are nothing special, and are willing to follow the common rules, I look forward to your application.

Does this mean I'll stop holding public events?
No, but they'll be more limited to special dates.
If I win three games that aren't full-value exclusives from the group, am I also required to hold a giveaway?
No, only for full-value exclusives.

What will you find in the group?
Well, exclusive events, quality games.
What do I hope to find?
A good atmosphere, people who will help by hosting giveaways and helping the events to make them as big as possible.

There will be exclusive giveaways for the most active users, there will be events for Steam sales, there will be treasure hunts and crazy ideas that we come up with, because the intention is that this is not something of mine but of all of us who form the group.
I have decided, along with the rest of the group, that initially, we will be around 120 users. There will be entry periods for more users and there will also be exits, since the rules are clear and I do not give warnings, but to start with, that will be the number.

Likewise, I leave the door open in case anyone wants to apply as a moderator, or wants to open discord or something, my time doesn't allow me to always be on top of it and it would be good for me.

I'd love to join, if I may.
For the time being I won't join giveaways that include "must play within 2 months". I've been kicked from TalePlay because I didn't make it happen.
I plan on applying back to that group once I play those wins + make actual dent in my wins backlog to show good faith.
