Owning a game in a bundled giveaway

Closed

I'm doing my first giveaway that includes multiple games. Personally I've been avoiding entering a bundled giveaway if I own one of the games, since I was unsure if it was allowed.

Is it against SG rules?

Is there a general community rule?

Appreciate any feedback!

If you do a private giveaway you can set that as a rule, but I don't think you can if you make it a public giveaway.

Incorrect. If you make a giveaway for a bundle and someone owns even one piece of it, you can request a reroll using the "winner owns the game already" category. This applies even to public giveaways.

I think that only works if they own the bundle, no? I dont think you can enforce any rules like this without staff agreement.

except this one. owning any component of the bundle is grounds for a reroll automatically. even public, even if the rule was unstated

it isn't a custom rule, its already a site rule so no approval needed should the gifter choose to enforce it

I'm trying to find the post where one of the staff members said it was grounds for reroll. It's proving difficult to find, thanks to the limited search options here.
