Beware that there is a big bug with removing games.
I have removed about 10 games (fear2, fear3, ....) and only got 50 points back. That´s to less. I have removed all 10 games in a row so that the rhe removing icons spinned at all games. Nerxt time i remove game after game and hoe that there is no bug than.

Why do you say that? They have yet to fix the issue where you don't get points back when a giveaway is deleted (introduced with SG v2), so I doubt it.

DO NOT remove more than one at a time or you may lose points.

It's a known bug. The site performance issues have made it more likely to occur. Wait to get points back from one before pulling your entry from another.

Ah it happens because of that, I used to removed 2 giveaways at once because it was not loading properly.

I'm not sure if this'll be a good advice, but I'll say it, my advice is that don't remove games at all, because I only enter giveaways that I actually wanna win, not just ANY games, although I might rarely do enter games that isn't in my wishlist or I want it less than other games.

Simple.
Personally I only remove my entry in some giveaways when I'm in need of points, to be more exact, when I'm very low on points, like 10-15 left, or 25, but there's giveaway ending soon and requires for example, 45 points, in this case I must remove some of my entries in other giveaways to enter this one. So I actually never catch this bug, if we can call it bug, since it's logical that site has locked 300 points, you can't get more than 300 points, since if it was possible to exceed 300 point limit, it may would be abused by entering giveaways, then waiting for refill to 300, then removing entries, however I don't know what harm this would've done, but still I understand this system well.

So.. you're basically contradicting yourself.

Sorry I do not understand your point, English isn't my main language.

If there's something wrong with the advice I mentioned, maybe you can help me fix it and add me on Steam, notifications are off so probably I'm not going to see this thread anymore.

I've noticed this too like two days ago. I had to remove my entry from many giveaways at once because I already purchased that title and when I realized that there is 300 points limit, I decided to remove one entry at a time and immediately use the points to enter different giveaways to prevent losing them. This is a painfully slow workaround and obviously not always reliable since there is no guarantee that you will find different giveaways that you're interested in at the time of doing that so if and when you decide to go with this method, I suggest you to check the giveaways and prepare some kind of list of giveaways into which you will invest your free points.

I would appreciate if the creators of this wonderful website could change it so that you could actually go higher than 300p in case you're simply removing your entries from the giveaways you're no longer interested in. This would make the whole process much faster, simpler, more user friendly and last but not least it would actually encourage people to free up their place in the giveaway for someone who might want it more than they do.
