I've used Gala a little bit here and there, mainly entering stuff I want to play and spending the points I have there, but today I decided to go ahead and throw a few Desura giveaways up there to see how the system worked and all that jazz.

The first GA I started ended a short time ago and I was really surprised to see that the winner has won many games on there, but the strange thing was he's won a bunch of the same games. Mostly recent Origin bundle games, 5-6 copies of some of them. That to me is rather sad that its even allowed. He hadnt won the game I put up on offer, so there's a slight chance he actually plays it, but it really makes me appreciate SG's solid rule foundation in that respect.

This actually sounds like the guy who I reported the other day. Perhaps instead of bashing on a beta giveaway site you should try to do something to help out instead of spreading negative things about it, yeah?

Edit: It's also not allowed but they haven't yet added a feature to filter out or disallow entry for games you already own, since it is beta, and you can just hope that people won't be so ignorant. Feel free to bash on the guy entering and winning giveaways for the same games 6+ times though, he's the real ignorant one. .-.

Considering I dont use the site much, maybe provide something helpful in how one can "help out"? The guy hasn't won multiples of what I was offering, and the so-called "bashing" you pointed out is sharing a shortcoming. I don't see a report button anywhere, nor is there anything in their FAQ. I believe the site has potential, but someone able to win 8 copies of the same game (which he has) is troubling. It wasn't intended to "bash".

EDIT: I posted a forum topic so maybe that will help.
