They have seven days to activate. Slow your roll.
If one of your keys is used, either get another one or request for the giveaway to be deleted.

I won this key few days ago, i just wanted to give to someone
So you were regifting a key you won here?
- You can acquire a replacement gift or key for the same game, which the winner is able to activate in their region.
- You can accept the giveaway as being "Not Received" by the winner.
- You can submit a ticket to have the giveaway deleted. In order for us to delete the giveaway, the winner will need to post a comment on the giveaway saying they agree to have it removed.

Comment has been collapsed.
1.I think u can't join giveaway if there is some region issue.U get some notice about it i guess
2.I know, after 1 week i can do that, but if the key received, i can't do that
3.I can't do ticket if i provided more than 1 key, coz i nhave to wait the others

That was just from the part about region locked keys, but you can just skip the region part and read it as non-working key.
Received means that they managed to activate it too, not just that they tried. Then they will mark it with green received or red not received if you haven't been able to correct the situation in the other 2 ways.

Hi Hurka79 welcome to Steamgifts. Since the winner has stated that key is activated already you have 3 options. Please look at the comment made by StarWhite as they've provided the 3 options.
Also please take a moment to read the FAQ and Guidelines so you can be familiar how things operate on Steamgifts.

Don't make giveaways with keys u got on shady sites.
Wait 7 days till 2 other winners mark as received. If they receive bad keys too - try to find not-used keys here

https://www.steamgifts.com/user/hurka79/giveaways/won

than ii can't do more giveaway because of that? if i have a game key that already have on steam, there is no way to check it is used or not coz the message is just: u already got that game...
Comment has been collapsed.
well, i marked received first, and than activated :)
Comment has been collapsed.
That's not the right order to do that in though, as the key could've been already used, which would leave you with an "unactivated win".
Comment has been collapsed.
You should really activate it first then mark it received if it worked. Would cause alot of heart ache and trouble if you marked it received found it didnt work then turned around and changed your marking. Or as the above person said, you end up with an unactivated win on your account which also has its shares of troubles

unfortunately u can't be sure those keys used or not
Comment has been collapsed.
Then you should probably not do a giveway with it, if you don't know if it's activated or not, cause you risked getting a not received.
Comment has been collapsed.
that is a bit stupid answere, coz u can't be sure that your keys used or not no matter where u get it from
Comment has been collapsed.
Most people who give key here get them through bundle or buy them, so no it's not a stupid answer. When you do a giveaway you're required to give the game away, so while yes it can happen that a key don't work, it should not be the norm.
Comment has been collapsed.
that site could be a "shady" site as well coz it is public, therefore no guarantie u don't get used keys
Comment has been collapsed.
no need to send me a message every 5 mins, stop it. u already recieved the answer from support.
EDIT another stupid spammer
Comment has been collapsed.
i got no answere to my problem btw.i won, and my winner did the same like me, but still waiting feedback, so noone solved my problem
put me on blacklist simple is that

As a new user you get 3 giveaway "slots". That means you can have 3 giveaways open at one time.
When the winner marks it "received" you will regain that giveaway slot. For every 3 successful you'll get +1 slot. If somebody marks it as "not received" you'll get -1 slot.
So from your 3 giveaways, if 2 are good and 1 is bad you will end with 2 giveaway slots.
The winner has 7 days to mark as "received" or "not received". Until they give the feedback like that, you can't make anymore giveaways.

So if they not working that i won i have to click not received?
Comment has been collapsed.
If they dont work you get in contact with the giveaway creator and tell them, they either provide a new key or ask for it to be deleted which you dont have to agree to, if you really dont want to. After 7days you can finally mark not received, if you are still yet to get a working key
If your keys dont work its the same, you either find another key and give it to your winners or get a non received marking. You could ask for it to be deleted but only if they allow it will it be deleted by support

1 more thing.I won , i marked received, i activated, i did nothing else.But on my giveaway the winner did marked as received, but still no feedback, so how is this possible?
Comment has been collapsed.
the winner did marked as received, but still no feedback
I'm a little confused: Marking a game as received IS giving feedback.
Comment has been collapsed.
u wanna screenshot? he received, but on the right is still awaiting feedback
and as i said i did nothing else after my won, just clicked received
Comment has been collapsed.
Screenshot of what? Marking received doesn't mean activating the key on Steam if that's what you mean.
Winners have 7 days after a giveaway has ended to leave feedback (= marking received / not received here on SG). So even if a winner activated a won game 1 minute after the giveaway has ended, they still have 7 days to leave feedback here on SG.
It's generally considered a little rude but it's not against the rules.

Don't worry I know this site is really complicated when you've just started to use it ;)
Lots of stuff to learn (some of it a bit unintuitive) like: What counts as a bundled game and why? and What is CV and Real CV? and many, many more.
Comment has been collapsed.
1 winner said to you they didn't get the right key, therefor they will not mark it received, because you got the keys through other sites, there is your problem, if you got 3 faulty keys then yeah you will have no slots left to give anything away, you shouldn't do it.
Don't expect to level up with these sort of free games you give away anyway, it's not how this site works.
Comment has been collapsed.
ty. the free games have no prize. if i won a game, that does not mean that is free game.that could have a prize like 5EURO for example, i just won somewhere
Comment has been collapsed.
im not idiot bring here games that basicly free...
Comment has been collapsed.
They brought it up because the games youve given away give you no cv which lvls you up on the site. There is nothing wrong with giving away free games, so many people do it.
When you create a giveaway next to the name you will see stars *. No stars means you get full value for it. 1 means you only get 15% of the total price as cv and 2 stars which the games youve given away has give 0 cv meaning you cant lvl up at all with them
Comment has been collapsed.
Try to make a giveaway for it, see the 2 ** ? Then it means they been given away free in the past thus you will not get cv for it to level up. It does not matter one iota that it could cost $5 on steam, it's still counted as free here.
Else people could just stock up on those sort of games and get to level 10 that way, and that would not be fair to those actually spending money to gift things.
I really suggest reading the faqs and rules here.
Comment has been collapsed.
if i won a game, that does not mean that is free game.
Well, for SteamGifts purposes (at least if you care about leveling up) it actually does.
Likewise any game that has EVER been bundled will count as bundled no matter if you got it from a Bundle or bought it from the Steam store full price.
