As some of you might already know, the guys at Gameminer are hosting a huge event called Fastminer 3 on October 26 13:00 GMT and will last till 20:00 GMT.
So basically, a lot of giveaways(2135 at this time) will start and end in a matter of minutes(10 minutes to be more accurate) and the entrance fee will be one gold for every giveaway.
In order to get gold you either have to create a golden giveaway on their website and you'll receive 50% of all gathered gold on your giveaway after it ends, or to buy the gold.
Even so...the giveaways are pretty awesome if you ask me and i think it's worth it.
What do you guys think?

So...

I entered just a little over 400 giveaways, and i didn't fucking win a single giveaway. I'm really pissed right now but i just read a few comments on the bottom of the thread and i must say that I'm happy for you guys....especially happy for the guy who won Total War Collection ಠ_ಠ. Anyway...the event went smoothly after all and I'm actually waiting for Fastminer 4 :D

on gameminer you can get to lvl10 by giving away only bundled keys.

that has nothing to do with this event.

try it xD you get almost no exp for bundled keys... so you should gift like 10000 bundled games to be lvl 10 xD good luck

If you scroll down the page, you will see the top contributors. Maksim and Rongey420 have donated 13.000 and 15.000$ worth of games and they are level 8 and 9 ;).
Basically, Dorimi is right, you CAN get to level 10 only through bundle keys, but you would need a few thousand bundles bought. Many thousands, actually :)

i didnt say you cant, i just told him to try to get to lvl 10 with bundle games xD and yes you need a ridicule amount of bundled games to get there im pretty sure its more expensive to get that many bundled games than buying AAA games and gifting them to lvl up

I believe gameminer has better chances of winning without having to be in a steam group or anything, just by yourself. Basically since February I won 80 games on that website, mostly gifts, and mostly neat games, non bundle. Steamgifts used to be a great website but I kinda gave up on it since there were so, so many entries on each giveaway, lowering the chances to almost zero. In the previous 2 fastminer events I won at least 5 games on each (cannot remember the exact number since I didnt really care that much), with a minimum amount of money invested in it. For proof, just write the website and then /profile/Posedatull/giveaways/won to see what I was able to get without being in any group and without donating thousands of dolars myself. Can anyone here, on steamgifts provide a similar number and quality of games without groups and without super high CV? Doubt it

make a fast gift giveaway for gold (write in commentary for administration "Price In Gold X gold), put it for 2 or 3 days, preferably to end just before fastminer, and boom, you've got yourself some gold for the event ;)

you make a gift giveaway and at Commentary for Administration you write "Price In Gold: x Gold". As for keys, only really wanted games can be put as golden (skyrim, bioshiet infinite, all the new games), in which case you make a normal giveaway with it, and then send a message to the website administrators where you say you want it to become a golden giveaway and copy paste them the link to it. Unless the key you have is for a new game or one that has a huuuuge hype around it, don't bother. Especially don't bother with cheap or bundle keys, they'll never get into golden giveaways

Holy Hanna, that site is actually soo legit. :) All those automated gifts, and usually the 1 hour giveaways have so few entries, even 2 digit number sometimes. I even discovered lately, that I have some chests in my inventory. :D OMFG I have an inventory there. :D :D
Not sure how others feel, but that site is well made.
Do you guys remember that message they had in the beginning? Something like: "Invite your imperial friends." They had me there. :D

The only reason why I still think SG is the better place is the forum, the forum alone.

I also believe it's very well made, and their ideas about how to sort keys from gifts (giving different amounts of exp towards level-up) is great, plus the site does work well with the automated gifting. Inviting your capitalist friends ain't worth it, you get 1 gold but lower your chances to win :P.
Just jokin', there are plenty of games there for everyone

It wasn't trash and it wasn't a key. Are you one of the admins? I see your name in the "how to gift" pictures. How does that effect how long it lasts anyway.

They've said before, if it's something that's being spammed a lot, really went low on sale ect... they make it 1 gold, 1 hour.

I was able to get in the website for a moment but the giveaways didn't have join links under them (at least for me because they had 30-40 entries). I hope this will be solved in a short time, I've bought some gold for this event only.
