Outstanding gifts not sent is definitely not a major issue with PB. Vast majority of the time it's people not seeing it in their email.
If you're not part of that group then if you make a post in the support section of the forum then your problem will usually be solved pretty quickly. The email gets overloaded with people asking generic FAQ kind of questions (i.e. how do i get points??) or begging to get unbanned and there is only one person that can read them.

Never had problems with emails, but then, only two wins (and one received :P).
I'll keep the forums in mind if I have it repeat, but given that win was now several months ago, I'm not going to bother.

Sounds oddly similar to a certain other forum/site that's also being overloaded and undermanned.

Try your luck on PlayBlink & GalaGiveaways ;)
5 wins in 1,728 entries? That's kinda lucky ;)

You don't seem to know how estimated wins work, do you?

the forums are great but the giveaways :/ all the great games like AC or COD have so many entries.

I have a feeling you're going to run into that regardless of what site you're on because they are great games.

I think getting your CV higher and not dealing much with public giveaways is where you'll start profiting, my friend

+1
Quality doesn't equal how many people enjoy it. Quality equals how much YOU enjoy it.

Gameminer is the only other Steam giveaway site that I trust. The community isn't as great as SG's, but heck, my luck is much better on that site. ^_^

Steamgifts became a forum mostly. The win chance is so small I haven't bothered entering giveaways for half a year now. I come here for the forums, and when I want to win, I go to gameminer. http://gameminer.net/profile/Posedatull <---- 7.000 entered, 94 won, many of them being cool and new games, totally worth it. I'd rather make a giveaway there and gain some gold to enter golden giveaways rather than make a giveaway here and next week to see it listed as bundled. I prefer gameminer's idea of leveling and the way you gain coal rather than shteamgifts's contributor value. Old users gained a ton of cv from bundles and 90% offs and now remained with that cv, but the new ones all the stuff we try to make ga becomes bundle game

So, by the odds you should have only won about 3 games and you've won 5. If that's not enough, you don't even activate the Civ5 you won, but are still complaining about not winning enough?
Yeh, we all feel really bad for you.

I have never heard of Cadeuxsteam.
I also had a chuckle at the: "We demand not a perfect French but at least the effort to do so, as the French users do on other English websites." bit.
There's a reason for that - English is the international common language, including the internet. French is not. Nearly everyone globally has to learn English in school. There are lots of websites ofc that cater only to a certain region or language, but the way they present it there is silly.

Who cares if English is the international common language, that has nothing to do with that. If you're going on an English-speaking website, you make efforts to write in English; so the same goes for a website defined as French-speaking. It's nothing more than a question of respect for the other users, even though that sentence pretty much states the obvious and isn't so relevant, that's for sure.

Being French Canadian myself, I see this more like if I visit someones family who speaks English, I
ll speak English but if they come visit me, they better try to speak French or my mom will lay the smack-down on them. That is just respecting where you are and who is there.

But what's the point of the multi-lingual introduction. Just leave everything in French and the rest of us will stay away.
Comment has been collapsed.
They have a rule specifying that communication within the site has to be in french. They made an effort to make it clear in other languages. I think it's simply fair of them to warn others about the site being french-only.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, if anyone else cares to try their website, they can see if they can figure it out with Chrome I guess. It seems like they are just inviting Google translate responses is all.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm now this thread makes me wonder if the OP is currently suspended for making this thread to start with, or not redeeming the Civ gift he won.
anyway... I've tried all of the "sites like this", this one by far has the best set up.
