I finally won a game, but in the key section I only see "-", am I supposed to do something else first?

Wait. The giveaway creator has 7 days to send the key/gift.

Edit: If you want better chances, join UL7.

No, just wait. The creator has to send the key. ^^

When a giveaway ends, the key is not sent automatically by the site unless the giveaway is for 50 copies or more. The giveaway creator has to manually click a button to send the key. This gives them a chance to look over the winner to see if there is a valid reason to request a new winner. The giveaway creator has 7 days to send you the game. They can send it through the site and it will show on your won giveaways page, they can email it to the email address you registered on steamgifts with, or they may add you on Steam and send it directly.

Edit: Also, once the giveaway creator sends the key, the giveaway won notification on the top of the page should start flashing to let you know. I think it flashes whenever you have a won giveaway that is marked as sent by the giveaway creator, but you have not marked it as received yet.

Congrats on your first win, and thanks for all you've contributed so far :]

I hope it was something good and that you enjoy the gift if/when you get to playing it. Also don't forget to mark the gift as received if it works!

You should give the FAQ and rules sections a read, there might be other things you are not aware of.
