I only enter games I want to play. Am I doing it wrong? xD
What was your longest intervall on sg without a win? (beeing completely away doesn't count)

That's a nice gap. xD
I actually won Civilization6 4 month ago. Just before I won it, I was able to play the game for free during a weekend. I realized that I didn't enjoyed it as much as I hoped for and suggested a reroll to find a luckier winner. I don't regret it. :)

So, you are celebrating 4 months without a win. Not 9.

Psst.^^ Well, I'm not really counting it. Just like winning a fake giveaway, I didn't got any games out of it.

Well, it misrepresents your luck. You actually did win 4 months ago. But when you ask people how long their longest stretch was, it does sound like you are talking about luck.

I never said that I'm unlucky! I'm only celebrating my 9 month intervall with a Firewatch giveaway, since I don't count a non-recieved game as a win. Please feel free to see it otherwise. I'm sure there are many who are far more unlucky than I am!

For me it seems around 3 months. This has happened 2 times, both recent which makes sense since I stopped entering giveaways for games I don't want just because there is a good chance to win.

My longest gap seems to be from December to October. On the other side my shortest is less than a week winning two public games, which was a happy surprise.

You actually had me go and check mine :)
Mine was March - December 2017.
Wasn't because I wasn't active (I think I even used AutoJoin script at the time), but just because I decided to only win games I actually want to play, so my AutoJoin only worked on wishlisted giveaways.
Ended when I created my own group, so now I actually have a chance to win the games I want to play ;)
Have won 13 games since... (shameless plug)

I never used any AutoJoin scripts myself. Groups are a great way to win more games. Since I'm an unregular gifter with a negative CV (evil me), I share no intresst in joining any binding groups. My way of gifting is usually to wait for a discounds to give away a
non-bundled game, I'd like myself. That's what I enjoy the most here :)

I try to do the same as you, trying to enter for games that I know I'd play.
Thank you for the generosity!
Hope you get a nice win soon <3

I guess my longest one was almost 9 months.
I won Ori and the Blind Forest on January 2017, then Dead Rising 2 on November 2017. If it wasn't for Dead Rising I'd still have my last win be Ori lol.

Yes, I've beaten your time. ;)
Those are long intervalls as well. I'm sure the next win is waiting for both of us!

Longest interval so far: 92 days back when I was L0
..but I'm on an ongoing 87 days streak atm so, who knows, we could have a new record soon =P

You just must want to play more games, so that you can enter more giveaways and win some of those. Problem solved! ;)

It is exactly one month ago that I won the last. But yeah the backlog is to big anyway, so only entering things I really want to play.

I'm on 1 month already and I don't know when it will end ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Going on 14th month now.
Being more selective is really hurting my leeching schemes.

Nice continuity! :) It ain't easy to be a leecher.

Just a bit over 8 months for me, so you've got me beat :O

The longest stretch I've gone without winning anything is about five months. It's been pretty rare that I win anything good though. Somehow I always manage to win the crap games that I never should've bothered with. So a while back I vowed to avoid those contests. My luck hasn't really changed - my stats page shows that I'm well into the red most of the time, but at least now the games I win are things that I'll actually play.

Entering only for games you want to play/try out is the only right way ;)
Amazing giveaway! Bump!

Good luck i guess!
I do the same, i mostly enter wishlisted games and if i see some private giveaway i check out if i like the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
When I first joined I entered almost every game I thought looked good, but now that I've grown up (lol) I only enter ones I'm sure I'd play

My personal record is 0 in a week where I didn't saw anything for me.
I'm certain that this number will grow. :D

Thanks for the wishlist giveaway! :D
I only enter giveaways for stuff I know I would definitely (or at least extremely probably) play.
Comment has been collapsed.
Although I just enter games I want to play by now I got atleast one win per month (looking up my statistics it's actually more like one win per 1 to 2 weeks). With more than 11k hidden games to have a small and clean SG landing page / GA feed this actually makes me feel really lucky but it also keeps me reeeeaaally busy taking care of my backlog. :)
The longest timeframe I didn't win anything was about a month and winning that frequently is most likely caused by being extremely active on SG solving puzzles and being member of a SG group with giving/winning activity requirement.

Longest I've ever gone without a win was a year and three months. What made it really annoying is that's how long it took for my first win, and by the time it happened the stats page had said been saying I was 2 wins behind for a few months. Never had a stretch like that since.

To be honest: I'm not so active on sg anymore and only enter a few games. Instead of waiting 3 more month, I'm taking advantage of the steam sale to celebrate with an unbundled game
here 🥂
