Did you report this person or just make a thread about it?

Less impressive numbers, but I saw a guy who regifted every single game he won. His "won" and "sent" sections looked identical.
Comment has been collapsed.
What would be the point of that, though? He kept nothing for himself?
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you checked also his steam account (games). He could buy the same game and give it away (well that is a nice wish xD).
Comment has been collapsed.
That seems possible..In the past I have given away games that I won...in fact, in the next day or so I am making a GA for a game title I just won the other day, cause I discovered it was still in a bundle, and I need nearly all of the games in the bundle(Except for the one that I had just won the other day)

If there would ever be a dispute. You can always take a screenshot in Steam with the date added. You can find it if you select a game in your library , next to play (or install)

I have, and I did consider this possibility. None of them was in his account.

I've heard there is a large queue of "User Report" support tickets, but a much smaller one for reroll requests. So let's hope the creator of the next giveaway your mysterious person wins will check http://www.sgtools.tk/activation before sending their gift... :)

Oh wow, I didn't know about this useful website! Thanks a lot for letting me know! I have known about Real CV calculator but it was the only tool I was aware of. Now we have such a nice website with everything in it - amazing!
PS. I think (and really hope it to be) it should be listed here somewhere on SteamGifts website itself so everyone could access it easier and whenever they want.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think someone's made a browser addon for it, but don't remember where I saw it. :(
Hmm, I wonder if the support people have access to the games list from http://www.steamgifts.com/account/profile/sync - in case someone's got a private profile the rest of the time. Maybe it's a secret? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I think they have permanent access to this but if one doesn't sync their accounts, the list on said page won't update and they will never know what games does one have. So, as long as someone didn't make her/his Steam profile public, no sites can't get any info out from it.

You have to sync once a week or the site will lock you out.
Comment has been collapsed.
why don't you make it automatically sync us?
what if someone go holiday or have been hospitalized for more than a week?
Comment has been collapsed.
It automatically syncs once a week. If it's unable to do the auto-sync, it will lock you out of giveaways.

There is even a script that let's you check that directly from users profile site. It add links and stuff. If you are interested I can look for them.

SteamEnhanced something or something like that if I am correct. I have it and it's really-helpful! :)

Any regifter that wins one of my giveaways always gets rerolled and support are pretty responsive when I ask for the reroll.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, reroll requests seem to be handled quickly. So I think there's a much higher chance your evil person will receive his proper reward if he's reported in that manner. :) But I also think most giveaway creators don't check. :(

i don't understand how it works..it says that i not activated a game?
Comment has been collapsed.
when I checked you out on there no unactivated games came up
Comment has been collapsed.
well im legit so :p.. but when i used all the people that i cheked got unactivated..so i think i dunno how to make it works xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't remember in which thread I read that, but I think that some DLC and GOTY game might say not activated even when they are activated. So it might be your problem.

Not a regifter, but in one of my last giveaways, I had this user who had won the same games lots of times. I still had to give him the game because he apparently already had been punished for his "crime". ._.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why? It's interesting, and doesn't directly point out anyone, so it's fine in that regard.
Kinda curious for more of the story, but yeah, SG staff definitely doesn't do a good job enforcing good giveaway-recipient behavior. -.-
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh wow... Punished? With a short suspension? ...I think that deserves a permaban.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was almost 2 month suspension, so I wouldn't really call that short.
Comment has been collapsed.
So uh... i came across this situation. I got into developer giveaways, about a week ago, and i won the same game in less than 3 days. (won once, forgot to remove the other entries, there were multiple 50 copies giveaways hosted by the same developer at the time, after i saw i won the same game again, i removed all the other entries, i know it's against the rules to win the same stuff more than once).
I tried contacting the developer through the giveaway comments section and steam chat (he accepted my friend request, yet he ignores the situation), i also got ignored both times i tried to contact. Well, since i got ignored i assumed he didn't care so i marked as received the gift but didn't touch it. So key is unused right now.
Is it possible if i could ask a reroll on behalf of the developer since he doesn't even reply to me? And if i can, could you please take a look at it and reroll? Thanks.
Here is a link to the secondary giveaway (the one i didn't touch):
Comment has been collapsed.
mark it as not received and wait, because right now your profile shows you have won multiple times.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, that's the thing. I didn't want to leave a red mark on this dudes profile. So after like 8 or 9 days i marked it as received since i actually received the gift, it's no lie. I highly doubt the person that made the giveaway is going to bother rerolling the win, if he did he would have said something to me already. Not to mention the fact that he is constantly doing 50 copy giveaways for that one game.
A support reply would have been nice, but yeah, also ignored it seems. Seems like a trend here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, probably the dev won't really mind if you marked it as not received either, so i would just leave it at that. Specially since now you have 3 games reporting being won twice.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wtf 3 games i won twice? I'm confused.
Unless its a bundle/pack, i seem to be missing something. I do enter bundle/packs for complete editions of certain games, if its ok with the giveaway creator. Or those pack of games with a couple of games, sometimes i enter those too, again if its ok with the creator and if i got less than half of the contents from the pack.
This is probably my 2nd time, i think this happened before and the gift got rerolled, also won a dlc a few months ago which i got in but ended up buying the humble bundle that gave it away, forgot to remove entries and ended up winning it, which also got rerolled.
Other than this, i can't remember to win more than once the same giveaway. Anyways, not even once was i to keep the 2nd wins as i gladly agree with the rerolls.
Comment has been collapsed.
God damn it, you are right. Just checked it myself. This is weird though, i don't recall having issues activating gifted games in the past, which leads me to question myself if the keys are still unused and i simply didn't double check upon activating a game to see if i already had it. I guess it's most likely that my 2nd wins are still unused aswell, unless the keys expired... i really didn't notice this untill now.
Oh well, guess that is worth a suspension. Can't really blame myself entirelly for this, why are some games i own still showing up in the website... I guess i just can't keep track of it all.
Comment has been collapsed.
I also think it's better to mark it as not received. Here is a mass of people just waiting to report you or blacklist.
Comment has been collapsed.
Reporting is something i really don't care about. I haven't done anything bad as i agreed to rerolling my win, even though the gifter ignores my request, there is a limit to how much i can do in a situation like this.
Also the blacklisting part... i really don't care to be honest, that is one of the three reasons why i stopped creating giveaways here and will continue to do so. It's the same as partially giving admin powers to every user in the community, power hungry people will abuse this without a reason.
Comment has been collapsed.
You shouldn't mark it as received unless you have added it successfully to your Steam account. Since you already own it, you cannot do that and therefore it should be considered not received. In my opinion.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, i did that. Three times and it's currently not received. If only rerolling was something easy/fast to do... This situation would have been solved in a few minutes.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why'd you have to give it to him? Couldn't you have gotten a reroll?
EDIT: Oh whoops, I misunderstood slightly and thought the game he won from you was one of those multiple copies.
Comment has been collapsed.
As 007 said, the user had already served their time.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's pretty shitty considering I entered that Rome TW DLC about a dozen times before I won it.
Comment has been collapsed.
So a user can win multiple copies of a game, serve their suspension, come right back and win more copies with only a few day suspension to worry about? That's ludicrous!
Comment has been collapsed.
It was almost 2 month suspension and if he repeats, he'll be perma-banned.
The thing is, we take intent into account as well. If I recall correctly, this guy had 80+ wins, all activated, with the infractions being the multiple wins only. It was pretty clear that he just didn't know the multiple win rule and wasn't maliciously regifting/etc, so a permanent ban wasn't proportional to the crime.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've seen someone with half won page full of EU4 : Guns, Drums, and Steel Music dlc
Those guy are on new level of multiple win
Edit : Seems that guy got permabans.
Comment has been collapsed.
there was someone yesterday asking what to do with a user who won his GA. that guy had 12 wins, which were 9 unactivated and 2 multiple ones.
of course he got it rerolled :3
Comment has been collapsed.
why doesn't the site (steamgifts) just disable the ability to win the same game multiple times? Seems more straightforward than requiring a reroll process.
Comment has been collapsed.
What would be the point, if you won a fake GA, and you become excluded from all other GAs?
Comment has been collapsed.
it does, it's just not able to tell if you haven't synched your profile recently.
Comment has been collapsed.
It doesn't. If the winner didn't activate the gift, he/she can still enter giveaways for the same game.
edit: I don't mean I think it's right, just that this is how the site works. So that's why we have to report users like this when we see one.
Comment has been collapsed.
it would be pretty unfair to let users only take part in 1 giveaway of the same game, factoring in the chances to win.
but yeah, you are right here. no system is perfect and sometimes you have to believe in the people to do the right thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Seen a person get to level 4 purely through re-gifting. It was not the highest amount of re-gifts I've ever seen, but I don't think I've seen anyone re-gift such high value games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, recently I found a guy from my country. He not only didn't active few games, he was regifting a game that he won few hours earlier. I reported him few days ago but still no reaction from support.
Comment has been collapsed.
Awhile back, I did see a particular user who had re-gifted all but one or two of their wins. Not sure if they were permanently suspended or not.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've seen users like that as well. Had one guy win one of my GAs that had won 8 games and not activated a single one. Now he is back and seem to be activating games, but he does not seem to play any of them.

well......
im worse and poor
hope you don't report :(
Comment has been collapsed.
things get even funnier when some of the joker guys are trying to regift WGN promo keys
little do they know that the winner will have some slight issues with the serial key as those fraudulent copies are being actively disabled
albeit it would be nice to get those games in question blacklisted on steamgift or at least marked as bundled (since from what I can tell looking out the scumbag steve report section we have on our site, many many people are trying to get rid of their copies here, at least a big part of the reports are always pointing to steamgift giveaways)
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you saying that the WGN keys in general were fraudulent, or just that the keys that were not activated by the people who originally got them were flagged as fraudulent?
Normally I would have leaned against the later and not asked, but I've noticed that the WGN group on steam has been de-activated
Comment has been collapsed.
The only cases when those steam keys are deactivated is IF
- The user resells, regift the copy on steamgift
- In any shape or form tries to gain profit out of it
That being said, users are allowed to give it away to their friends and such if they wish
Answering your second question: our original group got closed down since a while due to some of the contests that Valve didnt approved. This is the current group we use: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/wgnchat and the website aka http://whosgamingnow.net
Comment has been collapsed.
there are always regifters or people that sell away their wins , breaking the rules of this site etc. If you see such things, report them, thats it
Comment has been collapsed.
Wondering if anyone has seen a worse regifter. One guy on here has won 16 gifts and has regifted 7 of them and as far I can see has avoided a suspension or ban. Is this guy particularly lucky or skilled at avoiding a ban or are there worse out there ?
