I'm what you would call a "not very lucky" person. I can't imagine ever actually winning something from this site. Are there any users here who have gone for months or years without ever winning anything?

I'm guessing it's newcomers "should I even bother" question, not more usual "I entered so many giveaways and all I have is broken mouse because I had to click so many 'enter to win' button" complaining.

All in all, I mostly come here to read forums (I've already found few thingies thanks to you guys). Giveaways are just a bonus.

That's pretty much it. Judging from the numbers on peoples' entered/won ratios, it's most common for people to win under 5% of the time, most often taking months to win games that could just as easily be bought for $5-10.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

There are plenty of giveaways that cost more then 5-10 dollars...

Plus its free, so not like you lose anything from clicking a couple times a day on some stuff you might win.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Under 5% is putting it mildly. There's a statistics page that shows that the average public giveaway tends to be around 0.15% chance. If something has 500 entries, of which yours is one, you have a 1/500 (0.02%) chance of winning. However, that's still more than if you don't enter at all. Also, sometimes there are giveaways that give much higher chances, especially private puzzle ones.

Certainly, if you have disposable income and are looking for one particular game, then SteamGifts isn't the quickest way to get it.

The odds to win a game here are still better than the odds of winning the lottery, period.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

AND the knowledge of that is enough to discourage you from ever entering the lottery! (I won a game pretty early on, but less people entered than the number of copies being given away in that particular historic event :p )

The ratios is way less than 1% for most, for some 0%

I don't see how this thread invites flaming. It was an honest question.

It was an honest question indeed, there's no doubting that. The problem is that we get these threads regularly, and it's a very beaten dead horse around these parts. People tend to get a little tired of them.

As to your question, yes, there is moderation on these forums. And yes, you can indeed win giveaways.

Thanks for your reply! I guess for every 5 jackasses, there is one nice person.

As for it being a case of beating a dead horse, it's not like I'm forcing anybody to read any of this. But such is the internet, I guess.
