Give what to his brother? His Steam account? Or add the game to his Steam inventory and trade to his brother?
Giving the game to his brother is against sgifts rules, giving the account / technically letting his brother play on his account is against the Steam Terms and Conditions AFAIK and so risks a ban for his Steam account.
He could of course accept the gift and borrow his brother's PC and play it on PC...

I guess the right thing would have been to thank the creator of the giveaway and decline the gift and tell the creator to submit a ticket and ask for a re-roll of the giveaway.
So, basicly, you should not have accepted the gift in the first place.
Now that you have won you have to register it to your Steam account or you risk a ban.

You can use bootcamp. You can wait to play it until you get a proper pc. Or if you really mind these options and don't want it rotting in your library then you can ask the creator of the giveaway to ask for a reroll so that someone else can get it.

I couldn't help it but I looked to see what you had won and it was Binding of Isaac. Last time I checked that game is available on both the PC and Mac, or if there is something i'm missing you could always run bootcamp (or wine depending on your hardware) if you really want to play it.

I highly recommend that you contact the support team about the issue.

Submit a support ticket explaining this and let the giveaway creator know so he can re-roll.

SO there's this in the rules:
Don't trade, sell, resubmit, or give away games you win.
So basically, I have to keep the game. Unfortunately I won a PC only game, when I'm on a mac.(I should have checked, I know) Soooo can I not gift it to my brother/friend (pc owner)? and if not, does that mean I'll basically have to keep this game in my library even if I can't play it? it seems like a waste and I would rather give it away to a friend or anyone, how can I do that?
Would I get banned for giving it away? I already won a PC only game and made the mistake of redeeming it before checking if my mac could run it :l
