Introduction


Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires committent and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.

Group rules


  • You need to set and keep your Steam privacy settings for My profile and Game details public (example);
  • You will play all giveaways you win via this group within one month;
  • When creating a giveaway it is recommended to include a small group rule reminder in your giveaway, something like: "This is a Playing Appreciated giveaway, by joining you commit to playing this game within a month when won.".

How to join


  1. Make sure you did not violate any SteamGifts rules in the last month;
  2. Comment one of the two options to enter the group in this discussion:
    • Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game before you start playing it and comment again when you finished playing it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well.
    • Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played by other group members within a month as soon as your membership request was approved. The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
  3. Press "Request To Join" on our group page;
  4. Wait for us to approve your request, we'll always reply on the comment you have made in this topic.

Final notes


More information and a FAQ is available via the Steam group. Current group giveaways can be found here on SteamGifts. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions!

Your profile is private though, so I cannot approve them. Also a group rule is that you always should have a public profile..

Hi Shiritus, we are currently in the process of clearing out all our old join requests and I came across yours. I would like to know if you would still be interested to join the group?
If I won't get a reply in a week I will simply mark you as not interested to join on our list, but you would still be welcome to join once you have beaten the game :)

Hi, I'd like to join the group. I have already a great backlog to fight against, so I'm totally for winning games I'd play :) As I have never won anything yet, I guess I'd go for the group givaway option, if a small (but unbundled, and with lots of positive reviews ) gift is okay ? Thanks !

I already only enter for games I want to play so I'd definitely like to join.

I was thinking about giving Saint's Row 2. It's a good game that definitely deserves to be played.

I would guess it's longer than most games that are given in the group though. Is a week a good amount of time to give people to decide if they'll be able to play a long game? Also, you don't have to wait until your first giveaway for the group finishes before you can enter other giveaways, right?

You can set the duration for as long as you like. Most giveaways have enough entries in a day already, the winner just has to give the game a serious try within a month.

hi. I played that cat game "Miaou Moon" half hour and it's too difficult for me ,I give up.Then I played "Space Run Galaxy" 8 hours and get 26% achievement. Then I played "Abrix for kids" and get 58% achievement,but this game is not very good,character get a slow response. I played 2 hours and I feel dizzy :(
To get 100% achievement of "Space Run Galaxy" maybe cost me 40 hours or more.And anime weekend I Bought "RWBY" and get "Fallout Shelter". I maybe don't have enough time to make 100% achievement about "Space Run Galaxy" Recently.
"Space Run Galaxy" is the most interesting of the 3 games , So I want make a giveaway about "Space Run Galaxy" , maybe somebody can get 100% achievement ~!
