Good shit bro. But you forgot my giveaway site. Am I not common enough? :(

Edit:
Also, I'd disable gleam.io by default. I know the developer of gleam.io and he once told me he didn't approve of your gleam helper. I explicitly asked him about it. That's why I uninstalled gleamHelper. I was surprised to see it enabled again, but then I realized you combined everything. Anyway, I know gleam does many checks to prevent people from running any script and it bans people to the point of false positives (which happened twice for me), so that's why I suggest you disable gleam helper by default, and maybe add a warning as comment.

:D I actually wasn't sure that one is yours but I snagged a game, that seems to be higher quality than the usual promotional freebies, from it a while ago that's how I heard of it ;)

The unusual way you link to Steam Groups isn't compatible with the script yet.

As you know, the Gleam part of this script has been around for over a year now. It used to show how many keys were left in a giveaway, or what your win chances were in a raffle, but Gleam took steps to disable those features. I'm aware of their disapproval, I imagine all the other sites this script runs on share in it. I'm also certainly no stranger to getting banned from Gleam, but it hasn't happened in over a year to me or, to my knowledge, anyone else who's using this script.

I still wouldn't advise it to be enabled by default.

I'll at least add a disclaimer, but I don't see the risk of using it on Gleam as being unique. If you're worried about being banned from Gleam for using a script like this, you should also be worried of bans from all the other sites.

By design, the script doesn't interact with any of these site's servers. Of course, it still injects itself into the DOM, where anyone looking for it can find it. There's ways of moving everything out of the DOM, make it completely undetectable, but I haven't felt the need to take those steps yet.
