For some reason the Key List only accepts Humble gift links. Anyone care to explain what is the difference and is there an acceptable way around this limitation?

Thanks!

After giveaway ends you can send the game via e-mail :)
I don't know why only HB links are allowed on the key list ...

Thanks. Should I choose Gift instead of Key to be able to do that?

Yeah, in the description mention that it's an indiegala link. You can add them on steam after like you would for a gift and PM them the link.

That would work, but it just occurred to me that I can simply enter my own email in the gift link to get the Steam key, which I can then add to the Key List. It's probably simpler.

not sure if it has to do with many free game giveaways coming from indiegala. so to much hassle i think and i prefer it to keep it this way myself but thats my opinion

Once GA ends, you can add link on the page, where you have winner listed. It says add key, but you can paste link there and click save. That's what I did to mine few times

I think the "Add Key" field only accepts certain characters, though, and I've had trouble with URLs

I tried to edit link on one if my giveaways, and all sort of characters and symbols you can type on English keyboard are perfectly fine accepted by SG.

Why don't you add directly the key? If you click the gift link and enter your email you get the key which then you can use for your GA.

In the future, don't use Indie Gala gift links, just reveal it directly as a key. It'll save you the trouble of emailing or adding on Steam or whatever if you prefer sending keys through Steam Gifts. It used to be necessary because of the way it would automatically redeem to your account, but now that Valve's axed OAuth you get plain old keys.
