Try entering a lot of low entry giveaways. Almost no chance of winning a game in one with a lot of entries :P

The gates of flaming squad have been opened. Some people just are a bit unluckier, that is all.

No he isn't. There is a guy with a Estimated Wins of nearly 9 at this point and still no wins.

This guy is all boohoo over nothing. Took me 1200 entries to see a win. Let him get back to us several hundred entries and a much higher EW before he decides to complain.

Mew I require help with the microconductor that leads into the intergalactical dimensions rift.

I dunno why but my flux coil is having trouble working with the trimeta battery, this is really frustrating.

The backup photon production chambers # 6 and omega on my electromagnetic resonance amplification suit has malfunctioned, but from what I can determine with 0.00001% precision and a 200% margin of error, particulate matter has interfered with calibrations of the flux coil replication apparatus with inaccurate readings of geothermal disturbances. I recommend the application and detonation of 50 tons of C4 and pink krazy glue to remedy the situation. Collect the seven dragon balls that remains in the sticky crater you just made and summon Shenron in face down defense mode and end your turn to proceed to the room of the Architect, who has the hydrospanner you need to fix your machine. He will erase you from existence on at least 5 timelines on sight so remember to toggle your invisibility cloak and bring blue potions (Kool-Aid works well too).

a) low entry giveaways (get SG+ add-on, it shows you your winning odds)
b) get in groups! group giveaways usually have lower entry numbers
c) participate in hidden giveaways, puzzles and other shit in the forums! best way to win!
d) profit!

I meant it's highly unlikely to win if you only enter giveaways where there are 3000 or even over 5000 entries already. Like for example a Skyrim giveaway recently had over 10,000 entries, I wouldn't expect to win it. I rarely enter giveaways with no contribution value (CV) needed. I see you have a CV of almost $70, try to enter only giveaways that have an CV requirement, means less people and better chances.
Also get Steamgifts Plus here, it shows you a percentage that is the possibility of you winning the giveaway. It has a ton of other exciting features as well!

Because the games are randomly awarded to one ( or occasionally more ) lucky entrant in a giveaway with thousands of entrants. It's not that you're unlucky, it's that you don't understand how probability works.

If you enter 20 giveaways with a 1/3,000 chance to win, you don't have a 1/150 chance to win, you have 20 different opportunities with a 1/3,000 ( 0.03% ) chance to win. Even if you have entered 1,000 giveaways, it's still 1,000 opportunities with a .03% chance to win, even with 1,000 opportunities, those aren't good odds.

P.S. It's not at all relational to how many games you've given away, either. Proportionally, games given and games won two are rarely even remotely close to equal.

I actually joined this site so I could give games, and maybe win a game or two here and there. I didn't join it expecting to be showered with gifts.

Some people win their first fast, some don't. Complaining about it doesn't magically help win one either.

If you really want to win a lot of gifts, see if you can join a group. Though most require you to donate something often. Also, try to aim for the giveaways with low entries, and/or multiple copies.

Look at the "Estimated Wins" on your profile. It won't actually help, but it will give you some idea of how unlucky you are.

In your case your estimated wins based on your entries to date are about 1.5; that means you're slightly unlucky, but not overwhelmingly so.

Seriously, why isn't there a wall of shame for people who creates threads asking this? It would be even greater than the "Why can't I give away Dota 2" one. :P
