Ok there are lots of misunderstanding so I'm gonna explain why.
First of all, the site has ignorance system for any games you don't care, so you won't get notification for all. It will be even better if SG automatically synce ignored games from our profile.
Second, there were/are lots of 1 hour sweeptakes that I did/am/will miss if I don't check it hourly.
Last but not least, you can always turn it off in Notification setting of the website.
Finally, when notification mail pop up on the phone you just can easily swipe it out if you don't care.
So why not?

I need automatic notification by email for 1 hour left steam gifts available that I haven't entered, so I won't need to check SG every hour. Who's with me?

Yay
Useless

Uhhhh, that would be a lot of emails...

I think for me, checking occasionally is just fine, but I don't enter much anyway.

Would it not be much more useful, if Steamgifts enters you in all those giveaways automatically?

no, because it'll look like bot activity, and there are gifts you don't want, and even you don't have enough points to put in all of them

You entered a couple of giveaways, you should not be in, as an entry, any longer. Please leave these giveaways before they end.
For example:

Having a quick look at my "all games" page that would currently be 10 mails per hour, and looking at the page without filtering games I own that seems like 20 mails an hour. With this frequency you could just check the site often. That sounds excessive

There are over 12,000 public giveaways every month and you only have enough points to enter around 1000-1500 of them. You want everyone on the site to get emails every hour about every game that is going to end that they did not enter? You must have meant something else because that is crazy and fairly pointless.

But why would you want that many emails? There are thousands of games that you cannot enter because you do not have enough points. I could maybe understand if you just wanted a notification if it is a game from your wishlist that you have not entered, but notifications for all games would just be silly and probably create a massive amount of server load (I don't know how servers work, just guessing).

Instead of reading an email every hour, you could just open the site and look at the available giveaways every hour.

I see 10 giveaways right now and I don't even enter 1 every day, sometimes I don't enter any for days so yes, no problems there, though missing a 1 hour giveaway would suck but still, that's all it is

İf options are added it might can be better(just thought it Bec they're easily solvable problems)
On off
All games ,wishlisted games,dlcs,groups etc(box for these so you can choose only one of them or all of them)
İf you have points
Notification for each games or notification for time limited games at once(as a warning )(so I'll get one email not 20 email )
For now I'll add later if i have other ideas
İt would be better if there's a app but it's not possible much

Too much hassle, spamming e-mails in your inbox about every ga. There is a tons of GAs that ending every hour and every hour you will get e-mails about that? This is just unsustainable. Besides its not the end of the world that you miss a chance to enter some GA, what is even the point to enter so many giveaways?

You probably haven't read my post before comment this, have you?
Entering GA you need to increase chance ratio, that's just basic probability statistics.

Comment has been collapsed.

Or you can enter GAs when you actually had time to visit the site and not being obsessed about increasing chance ratio. If you enter public GAs there is no noticeable difference anyway. Popular GAs with last hour already have 1000s of entries so by entering them you will increase your chance of winning at absolute minimum.

On one hand, I understand you -- I personally would love to have the minimum duration of a GA extended to 1 day, in order not to have that feeling of "missing" something.

On the other hand -- while it is true that you miss on many short GAs because you cannot be online all the time, on the few occasions you do see one of them, your chances are much higher, right? "Look, a 1 hour GA, and I was here to enter it, exciting!"

So it boils down to: would you rather enter 5 GAs, having a 0.2% chance to win each, or 1 GA, having a 1% chance to win it (missing the other 4 because you were not online then)? I would argue the 2nd option is better -- you have (nearly) the same chance of winning, but spend less points on it, so you can focus on games you really want to play.

Just my 2 (per) cents. :D

Cheers!

Thank you for understanding, I always have lots of points available because I ignore a lot and always exciting to be able to enter a wishlisted game at last hour, so I just suggesting.
Moreover, any chance is better than 0, don't you agree?

3 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah, but more people joining GAs means less chances on each one. So this "any chance" comes with a price.

(Not to mention that you shouldn't be on SG so much of the time -- go play the games, with your friends if you have any! And I am aware that this phrase applies to me as well -- despite liking the community, sometimes I spend too much time here. :D )

i can see that you are thinking only about what you want (idk why you want that but don't care) but you should think about system, performance, costs of something like this too - yes sending one or few emails shouldn't be too restrictive in costs/performance of site, but you are talking about thousands or even more emails per hour! if that amount of emails are sent from this site with different logic, filters, etc, it would require quite a lot of resources that would be taken away from us using this site. adding more resources, would require more money etc.

ideas are good usually but this is one of the stupidest i've seen :D and i've been here for a long time :)

Also, I honestly don't see any difference between checking the email once an hour and checking the site once an hour... Because even now how the emails are handled is combining the giveaways into single mail... So why wouldn't it be same for this...

If you're that obsessed with entering every giveaways on Steamgifts, I'm sorry to say you're probably the problem, not the website. :P

You would very likely get a notification every hour at a minimum, which you can just setup yourself on your PC/phone in the form of an alarm and such (as was suggested by another user here).
