I haven't tried it before, and since I haven't tried it, I'm hesitant to try it now. I'm guessing that you get all the CV and it's just not as much of a hassle to add multiple keys instead of making multiple giveaways for the same game. The thing is, it seems like the more giveaways you post that are marked as received, the more giveaways you can have active at one time, so unless unless multiple keys in one listing are factored into the gifts feedback algorithm, then listing all of the games individually would increase that number faster. Am I wrong? Are multiple keys in one listing factored into the amount of listings you can post at once?

Thank you all for the quick and helpful responses, I have my answer now. :)

No difference whatsoever.

As far as I know there is no difference if you post one giveaway with five copies or five giveaways with one copy. It is mostly about preference.

For the giveaway creator there's no difference, but for the people entering they shall spend more points in multiple giveaways of single games, so if you wanna be a nice person it would be better to give multiple copies in a single giveaway. :D

You have a point, and entering a giveaway with multiple copies always feels nice. I'll do that from now on. Thank you.

It's good for entrants because the giveaway would be point-efficient. However, if something unusual occurs with one winner and you want to delete the giveaway for just one person, you'll have to delete the whole thing.

A lot more hassle in the long run, especially if you bump into a problematic winner who runs away with the key, but you reroll it without knowing. Giveaways of more than 2 keys also attract the lowest of lowlife users, the ones the forum really tries to dissuade people of, especially on levels 0-2.
If you ever do a multi-key drop, make sure to be a group/whitelist/high level one or get ready for the headaches.

And this comes from a lot of experience, doing lots of multi-key drops from 2 to 80+ pieces in a single giveaway. They practically never went without a problem.

Alright, thank you for the advice. I've been posting a lot of gifts for the SteamGifts group and Unlucky 7, do you know of any other good groups that I could join that accept low level members? I'm Level 2, but I'm hoping to reach Level 3 today. I don't know how long it's going to take to get further than that, though.

If you use only bundle games and nothing more, then level 5 is easy, level 7 can be an acceptable and reachable goal. (My current status was made with nothing but 99.98% bundle games.)
And sadly no, most small giveaway-centric groups have a level 4-7 entry requirement.

Yeah, bundle games are easily the best CV value, nowhere else can you get 6x the amount of CV on the dollar you spend than in a bundle, unless it's a crazy steam sale where as $60 game is $10, and if that is the case, the retail price is probably going to drop soon.

Yeah, from the little bit of searching I've done, it did seem like nobody wants me in their exclusive gifts group, so I guess that will have to wait until I grind a bunch more CV.

+1 on his comment. Lvl 0 is all trash (maybe a new guy >.>) and lvl 1 is way too easy to get to. Lots of 100+ game winners with 1 giveaway sent. As you go higher in lvls things get better. Personally I myself dont do under lvl 4, not because im lvl 4 but because I feel its a safe bet if someone made it this far they given their fair share of games. Ive done lvl 0,1,2,3 giveaways as I gained levels starting out and did multiple copy giveaways. What I found was a few of the winners won on their main and alt accounts. I was highly suspicious of my winners and checked them out in depth. Actually some were so stupid their emails were something like max2000 and max20001 etc etc. So if you do lvl 0 your feeding leeches and your going to get those kinds of people, if you dont care who gets the games as long as you get your cv well then no big deal. (and i just realized that if done 5 at once or 1 at a time they will enter them all either way and have the same chances so it doesnt matter, blah blah blah)

you please people because they will just spend points once.
you don't get as much "thanks" spam in your inbox.
leeches will be attracted like a magnet to a X copies giveaway, because it has more chances and it's "cheaper" than entering multiple GAs.

unless you want to split the copies by level or wishlist/group/invite-only, putting all together is better, imo.

Nothing much to add to what you've been told above, just that after the 5th copy of the same game you will get less CV.

I'm aware of that, thanks for the tip though. I have yet to accidentally acquire more than 5 copies of the same game. :)
