If you check the link again you can see the id of who claimed it, can't you?

Can you at least check if it's used or not? Or check his game library? Check the Activities to see if he got a new borderlands game recently?
Do let him get away with this, press this mofo! D:<
Also, would be a nice idea to limit giveaways to higher levels.

I had the same problem... Traded humblebundle game for another one. He said game is for friend and we traded. He said his friend said gift was claimed alredy... I was preatty sure it wasn't but I decided it was my fault, so I give him one ToD insted... I've writtren to HB support and they replyed me within 10 minutes. I asked for mail on which it was activated and I got it :) It was activated by his friend so he apologized to me, give me back my ToD and even one more game. If it is from humblebundle or side like this, you should try to contact support, maybe you will have same luck as me :) and sorry for bad english, but I hope you understand what I am saing :D

if you bought yourself a bundle or the game in the store, you should be able to check it....if you
did get the link from a thirdparty (like tremor) you can´t. ( and you can´t be certain it´s not used!!!)...in this case the only solution for the future would be to use the link yourself,
wait vor the mail, and give the link in the mail the winner, with this link you could check how claimed + date

Most site gift links just say "gift has been claimed". OP can send support the gift link, and they can confirm "someone" used it. Some site gift links may include the date used too iir.

Well, that makes easier to solve! :)
If he redeemed it, contact SteamGift support and inform the winner received it (send a screenshot of something that prove so) and the link to his library with the game redeemed.
If he didn't redeem it, it must be in his inventory, so contact SteamGift support and tell the winner got the gift but he didn't redeem it.

but in this case you can see it in your gift-history.....

Be careful, you should make your giveaways a minimum of level two, if not three.

Considering anyone can get Borderlands 1 on Steam by mounting a CD mini-image and using the granting tool in the Steam client, it's pretty foolish to bother with stealing a legit key.

Look into history who accept gift... and idea for you.. make GAs ONLY WITH level req
Comment has been collapsed.
That's why I usually restrict my better GA-s to higher lvl's... helps reducing leechers too :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You should start using whitelist and invite only GA (with level req if necessary)
You can't hope that much from public GA

I dont want to risk to give him another gift, and stole this to .-.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sorry you had to learn that the hard way. :(
Hopefully it won't discourage you from making further giveaways.

i want to help, but why cheat on me? i give the game to him, i dont undestand this
Comment has been collapsed.
Some people will do anything to get a free game.
Sometimes they will even take it and regift/trade it.
I haven't had a problem before, but I hear that this happens sometimes.
Thank you for all your giveaways, you've given a lot even though you just joined.
Really sucks that you had to run into this.
Comment has been collapsed.
that's probably the reason. if he marks it as not received, he can sell it without getting problems here for not activating the game. that greedy bastard. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
They're just greedy and want more. That's why I told you to set the limits higher. People with higher levels often understand what it takes to do giveaways and what the rules are. There are a lot of dummy accounts at level 0/1. Do level 2/3 to be safe
Comment has been collapsed.
there is no such a thing as "safe" level ;p I already seen lvl 5 regifters ;p Higher level just eans lower chance to get a cheater, but each level will contain cheaters.

Now when he market not received, no one can trust about me .-.
Comment has been collapsed.
if it was a steam gift it will be visible in your steam history that he received it. He cannot mark not received before 7 days and hopefully by then he will have his sorry ass banned for attempting Scamming / Feedback Fraudand you will have your GA marked as received by support.

Thats why u have to make ur giveaways with level higher than 2 or make them for a group or private/whitelist ...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, my only suggest is to make a ticket, SG mods probably can check if he used it, even if they don't at least they could make your feedback good again :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sorry that the piece of shit tried to milk one more game out of you. I suggest you make a support ticket to explain what happened. It would probably be wise too to contact HB and ask them to cancel the gift, so that the thief doesn't enjoy his ill-obtained game.

A used steamgifts lol,
do look for a way to see the log of your trade/gift, maybe contacting steam support.
Comment has been collapsed.
On the "More" drop down menu beside "Trade Offers" in your Steam Inventory, there is an option to "View Gift History".
