What tier shall you buy today?
Few minutes ago i won Risen 2: Dark Waters Gold Edition, im from South America (Argentina), also the GA creator (Chile), when i activated the key on Steam it works prefectly (im able to install the game and all is OK) but the game register itself as Risen 2 Gold EU (I asumed that EU is for European Union.), still it seems works flawless on my region.
I hope this info will be helpfull for others users.

At first, I was like "meh" but then, a tiny part of me started whispering "maybe you'd actually have fun playing Dead Island GOTY"... Maybe I'll get tier 1, maybe not. I'm pretty sure Dead Island would end up collecting virtual dust for a long time. :o/

I just get back the key from a winner. I am from Hong Kong.
Dead Island Riptide Complete Edition (ASIA)
HB gift link can redeem successfully by US. He can get the key from HB, but cannot activate the key in steam.

A Steam friend from Canada gave me a key for Killer is Dead. It didn't activate, I got the same error message as bestduck.
So NA (Canada) -> EU1 (Sweden) for Killer is Dead seems to be a no-go.

So the Saints Row 2 keys from German buyers are for the censored version? It doesn't say anything about that on the Humble Bundle page.

so I bought the tier 1 games through paypal and i was waiting for the green check mark to pop up which means that payment is approved but it didnt pop up so I returned to the main site and then i checked my paypal and i found out that 1 dollar was taken but i dont see the keys ..
Should i contact support or keys will appear soon ?

The EU keys should work for anyone (ed: except Germany, for some games). NA keys won't work for anyone in Europe, except Europeans (geo)-located in Serbia or Montenegro, but will work for everyone else.
NA version: exclusions are Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, CS, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, CS, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Great Britain, Holy See (Vatican City State), Aland Islands, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Svalbard and Jan Mayen
(CS = old country code for serbia & montenegro, which they haven't updated here, but instead just list it twice, in the locations where montenegro and serbia should be)
bought in RU/CIS: inclusions are Russian Federation, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine
this one, is for 'Asia' region -- exclusions are: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, CS, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, CS, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Great Britain, Holy See (Vatican City State), Aland Islands, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Russian Federation, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, United States, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, Norfolk Island, Niue, Tokelau

and various other fancy keys. Deep Silver is is best publisher ever!

Since you were online and had some research on it, I got a key in trade which says
This key is not available in the following countries: BE, FR, BG, DK, HR, DE, HU, FI, JE, BY, RU, NL, PT, NO, TR, LI, LV, LT, LU, TJ, RO, TM, PL, CH, GS, GR, EE, IS, AM, IT, CZ, GE, IM, GB, AZ, IE, ES, MD, KG, UZ, SK, MT, SI, KZ, UA, SE, AT
So I assume its a N/A Key which cannot be activated in Europe but anywhere else?

Unfortunately I didn't confirm from the seller which country he is from but this key doesn't match any region mentioned in this thread. I'm from Pakistan and before revealing key hb doesn't give me country warning, Only warning it give me is that i already own it.

Deep Silver uses an NA+ROW system. This, for some reason, translates to "anywhere but Europe and CIS", but it may translate to "anywhere but Europe", "anywhere but Europe, CIS, and SEA", or "can be activated anywhere that is North America or not part of a trade-locked region".

Is it save to create GAs for Risen & Risen 2: Dark Waters Gold Edition if I use Humble gift links ?
Edit: Judging by the post above it should even be safe to reveal the keys myself since it should be EU keys (purchased from Austria) but with gift links I'd be completly safe that the winner can activate them, right ?
Comment has been collapsed.
it doesn't matter if it's gift links, i think. Wherever region you are in, it'll be region locked to THAT region you purchased the games in. Gift links are just an alternate way of giving people a game, but you can't bypass region locks unless you bought the bundle using a vpn for a certain region, or have some universal key.

Thanks Rachel :) Then they must must have changed it or I misunderstood the last time there was a region restricted Bundle. I thought that was the purpose of gift links (other than that you can check if they are used). Well with EU keys I hope I'll be fine anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
I checked because of your comment and realized, Dead Island had gotten the possibility of creaetng a gift link, which I coudln't before due to living in Germany. It gave me one after warning me with a list of countries the link could not be redeemed in, and for Saints Row 2 I got to create a second gift link (I had created one before), with another warning that the key would not be able to be used in Germany.
Are you from a country with regional restricions, too?
Comment has been collapsed.
For me (living in Germany), no new unredeemed keys were added.
I bought tier 1 back then.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you bought them via VPN with an US IP, like I did, they don't work in Europe, so yeah you'd
be on the safe side with US only. However, you might have gotten different ones,
because I could activate "Dead Island GOTY", just Riptide and Killer is Dead wouldn't work for
me ... so maybe you have European keys?
Comment has been collapsed.
No I did buy them from germany, with a normal german paypal.
I only tried killer is dead, which didnt work, but I did know the dead island games doesnt work in germany..
I just dont want to put EU as a region, if they cant be redeemed in germany for example.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't tell you which keys you got, but one thing I know for certain, you couldn't have bought them in Germany,
because both Dead Island games were not included in the Bundle if it was bought in Germany - there also wasn't any compensation for German buyers, those games were just missing. Which is why I used TOR to buy the bundle with an American IP and paid with bitcoin (a loophole they closed after the first few hours or so). As a result I got NA+ROW keys, of which I could activate "Dead Island GOTY" and SR2 just fine, but SR3, Killer is Dead and Riptide wouldn't work in Europe (I checked with an UK trader who also couldn't activate them) ... I traded those to South American and US traders, where the keys worked just fine.
Comment has been collapsed.
No idea how you managed to buy that bundle like you said you did, but the
whole bundle was a mess with strange region restrictions ... and missing games
not available in particular regions - especially for German buyers (see here ).
I still suspect you have gotten NA+Row keys somehow, because European
ones should work in Germany, there's no region lock for EU keys, they just don't
sell them in Germany. I have had reports that the whole bundle activated just fine
in Germany if it was bought via VPN in the Netherlands.
If you don't want to risk selling your keys for the wrong region, I suggest just
go to the steamtrades section and find a reliable trader to trade the keys for
something else.
