You have to activate the game that you won. That's the rule. After that, since you have that game in your account, you are unable to enter giveaways for the games you own.
Btw i see that you won a game called "Furry Futa". But you probably didn't activate the game (can't see that in your steam profile). Than you created a giveaway for the same game. Not activating your wins is a reason for ban.
I recommend you to read this.

So you're telling me that any future raffle I win I'll be forced to activate the key on my account, otherwise I'll get banned. I only entered a raffle with the key I won because I wanted to level up my Steamgift account?

Even without having read the rules, it's still hard to miss this warning. You've already won twice, you should have seen it.

In my opinion, I will not harm anyone by doing this by winning the key and creating a raffle for it so that I can raise the level of my account because I am currently not working and the games are very expensive. And I think the rules should be added that the winner can do whatever they want with the key they won from the raffle by doing a new raffle or activating it in the account. This is just my opinion.

Rules do not work like that, i'm sorry.
If I win a game, can I regift, trade, sell, or remove it from my Steam account?
According to our guidelines, no, all games you win must remain activated and redeemed on the Steam account you used during registration. Failure to activate games you have received will result in a suspension.

So someone who BOUGHT the game gets the credit they deserve and then the winner who did nothing gets the same credit .... YOU'RE A GENIUS! sarcasm
You won't get banned for it but you will be suspended for a few days at least. Keep doing it and you will be though. If you don't want the suspension, buy the game ASAP and activate it on your account.
Either way you will likely get some blacklists for this.

I dont think he knows or cares the concept of blacklisting.
But he already got one at least:)
He is another lad who saw the site, liked the idea but didn't read the rules or cared and jump straight to it.

Also imagine if everybody would do this, how many dupes and wrongly assigned region locked giveaway would be circulating.

While I understand what it is you want to do it, is a very bad idea. That would just flood this site with recurring giveaways for the same keys, and the site would eventually die out due to that - which in turn would render your higher level completely useless. And/Or everyone would become level 10 and that would also render the whole contributor/level system useless.
The site operates on the fundamental principle of "1 key-1 giveaway" to keep the content always fresh and new.
To avoid a tempban (or worse) I suggest you read through the Guidelines and the FAQ sections and follow them. Just understand these regulations are there to keep the site alive and well, not to inflate anyones levels or even to hurt individual users.
And if you already won a game here and then re-used it on a giveaway (as another comment suggested above) instead of redeeming it to your Steam account, then I suggest you directly buy a copy and activate it on Steam - or you likely will receive a tempban from mods soon. Unactivated wins will also keep you out of almost any SGTools-protected giveaways for all future, as that is one of the most used basic protection people place on their giveaways when using that system.
Here you can see the result that SGTools returns when checking your account for unactivated wins.
Here you can see the result that SGTools returns when checking your account for multiple wins of same game.
Here you can see your games on Steam, where same game is not shown as owned/activated.
Keep in mind, if you have hidden that game on your Steam profile then that will also count as unactivated as SG can then not "see" that you did activate it/own it on Steam.
In the future I also suggest you read different sites rules and regulations and ask questions like this before you engage in activities on those sites, that will help you to avoid regulatory "shocks" or punishments from mods - it will just make your day better overall.

We actually have a great example of this even. If you go to indiegala's giveaway section, that's what this site would become. The strict cv system, activation checks and forums is what makes this site work so well. It's kind of amazing when you think about it.

Mostly worse there because I do or at least did a few giveaways and entered and won some as well but most of the time all you really get are keys from places like Fanatical when they are free at the time

It don't give activation checks on this site.
sgtools is a other site that support us sg users with a feature that should be a BASIC feature on sg.
And because it is extern, sgtools can't punish the accounts on sg for sharing links to GAs etc. (which should be a basic thing too), so the punishment from sgtools can't stop the perma abusers if they use more as one account or if they have "a friend" that give them the (not anymore protected) sg links that are behind the protected sgtools links.

To be fair, even without the explicit warning, mods do honour reroll/deletion requests if you attach a screenshot (or is the list available without needing to log in? I don't remember) of the people who passed the check and it not matching the winner.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, but a) only gifters that check, report and send reroll requests have a effect (and a lot of extra work) and b) the cheaters didn't get punished on sg for the cheating with the sgtools protected GAs.
I know around 50 users that are perma banned on sgtools, which mean they can't solve sgtools protected GA checks, but still always join different GAs behind that protection.
And you aren't able to warn someone of this users too because you would get punished for calling out (As side info: More serious as autojoiners would get punished).
So you see, multiple things, on sg, are handled really wrong, in this/such cases.

The most ironic thing is that by giving away ‘Furry Futa’ you can’t raise your account level at all.

I think we'e a bit late warnng you, looking at your unactivated wins and created giveaways
Comment has been collapsed.
Answering the specific question (others have pointed out how against the rules re-gifting is), you cannot enter another giveaway for a game you previously won and marked "Received", regardless of whether you activated the game on your account. The only way to win a giveaway and continue to be able to enter giveaways for it, would be to mark as "Not Received", then wait a week (which gives time for the giveaway creator to resolve whatever the issue with the key is).

In simple what will happen with your suggestion, that people make a group and create giveaways that are fake(because the game/key goes around in circle anyway and why even bother with a legit key then?) and just mark them as received all the time and repeat till you get to level 10?
I guess you are honest person and only think good, so didn't think about what people who abuse would do but cmon, in real life you should think about it more... People will try to scam you and you can't be this gullible..

Oh yeah, this thread reminds me of the time I won my first giveaway and tried to be smart. Still carry all of those blacklists with me that I rightfully earned that day by creating a giveaway for the won key. Good old times... :D

soooo
what if someone will do the same with your ga...
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think he'd be bothered, in his logic it should be okay it we all leveled to 10 using this cheat as it's not hurting anyone. Entrepreneur logic.

In addition to your suspension and a few blacklists, you will always have a non activated status unless you fix it.
Not activating a win pretty much has auto banned you permanently from all sgtools.info giveaways now as well. Lots of people use it to create custom rules for giveaways here on the this site. The default rules of it will exclude you so that's most giveaways that use it unless a giver has removed it from the defaults. It would be a good idea to go spend the few pennies for that game and add it to your account. Do so and the sgtools stuff will automatically open back up to you.
Don't worry about trying to grow your account. That will happen automatically as you buy bundles, activate the games you want and give the rest away.
Welcome to the site. Its a great site if you follow a few simple rules to keep things fair for everyone. Better then any other I use.

I go crazy with some of the things I read sometimes

Well this guy was on borrowed time anyways seeing as I reported them last week for posting a giveaway that said "This is a surprise key so it could be any game" in its description marked as for the Japanese game "橙天の銀翼 ～スカイランドの魔女と巫女～" (https://store.steampowered.com/app/793410/_/)
Also, they literally started the new giveaway for the Japanese game right after winning Furry Futa.
Me thinks that they were trying to do what all the scammers on IG used to do before the community there cracked down on them. You get a key for a crap game, list it as being for a more expensive title to get more experience/CV out of it, and hope the recipient doesn't notice the different title upon activation and gives a positive/received.

wow... Very happy to see the suspension, that logic is insane

About the draw, if I have already won a game, will I be unable to participate in the draw that I won a game in, even if it is not in my account, or is it temporary and I will be able to compete in the same game again?
