One week later, still no gift even though I won. What can I do? Am I screwed? Thanks.

Try and contact the giveaway creator if you haven't yet, otherwise mark it as 'not received' in the meantime

Also, check the gifter's track record. While there are exceptions, if they've had successful giveaways in the past, chances are things will probably end well. If it's a rookie gifter, giving away Black Ops 2, Saints Row IV, or some other new AAA game, there's a very high chance that you'll get nothing other than a lesson in how to spot fake giveaways...

Hope things work out for you :)

The giveaway creator seems legit enough (doh! I hope this isn't calling out) - 5 confirmed gifts on the user's profile.

Mark the gift as not received. Make sure to check your email (spam too) to make sure that you didn't receive the game in the form of a key or gift.

Sometimes it happens, nothing you can do to change it. My first Not Received was a copy of Saints Row IV.

Do as suggested. It is unfortunate, but I guess some people still make giveaways with no intention of actually giving anything away.

also your av makes me think everything you say should be in all caps with numerous exclamation points afterward

Wait 1 week, mark as not received, hire a private detective to find the person who screwed you over, steal a car, drive to their house, and teabag them while they are sleeping.

Meh, it happens, sometimes completely out of the blue. I got my first not received from a high cv ($800) giveaway too, so really these things just happen. It's unfortunate but you just move on.
