It's been months since I can't sign into sgtools, I discover the site since I comeback to sg and sgtools it's not working, it's not the steamid because I can logging anywhere with no problem, it's only the site

Just a far fetched idea, because I realize, that this probably would be very hard to program and is not realistic, but having a possibility of limiting participants to those, that own a specific achievement in a specific game would open quite a few new possibilities for creation of targeted limited access GAs.
It could be used:
- for giving away rare DLCs only to those, that have already reached some stage in the main game;
- for Jigidi-like GAs limited to those, that solve the monthly free puzzle on PPU;
- last but not least by devs for making GAs of a game to those, that try a game during a free-play period, or who play a demo (not sure though, if a demo can have achies), which could be a great tool for them to get folks to just try their game.
Cheers :)

It's a nice idea that has already been suggested previously, but unfortunately I'm not actively developing new features on SGTools.
The tool is in maintenance mode, and I'm only fixing things that breaks, maintaining whitelist and applying infractions.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm, I came here to ask if the fact that you already have code to parse the GA lists means that you might be able to generate more stats like "your most frequent winners/gifters" (like this did ages ago) but I can totally understand being in maintenance mode only... But if you ever feel like extending you tool ;-)

I am indeed no longer developing features.
Since the introduction of json responses, should be easy for anyone wanting to implement that kind of feature to develop it, as there is no parsig needed anymore.
Comment has been collapsed.
I totally missed the fact that there is a json view. of to do some playing :-D

Just noticed that giveaways with less than 5 entries count towards Real Won CV. Not sure if it's a bug or I missed this change.

SGTools shows I should be at level 2, but SteamGifts says I'm at 1.87. I've tried doing the math on which may not be counted correctly but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?
Comment has been collapsed.
It was blackguards, sometimes steam api reports incorrect values for price data when looking for an appid that has a package containing that appid and that package is on sale. This was the case, should be reporting your CV correctly again

Pit Blocks 3D - user maybe won this game, but it doesn show in won games in steamgifts https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1833523007040401403/607E2B555524499FF60D46185CCB72B201B24A46/

Added Frontline Tactics to the whitelist.
About Pit blocks 3D, it must be a deleted giveaway, so the owner of the account have to do a forced sync to update the status of an old giveaway

Invalid entries in a train https://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/1e60dbbb-417c-11ec-a972-fa163e0a8583/invalidEntries
3 same users in most cars, 1 additional in BL3. The train ended a week ago, but I forgot to report then.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Knsys,
i have a short question.
I checked today my listed games on sgtools and stumbled about this one:
https://www.steamgifts.com/user/Masafor/search?q=Grand%20Theft%20Auto%3A%20Episodes%20from%20Liberty%20City
0cv but unbundled and i checked it on sg that it had over 5 entries, that this can't be the solution for it.
Maybe only a tiny thing that i oversee right now but if you have the answer, i would happy to read it :o)
Thanks

That's steam api reporting 0 for sale price for that game, manually fixed it

I seen on sgtools that Batman: Arkham Knight Premium Edition, price $39,99, get listed in the gifts send section of someone with $70.
I checked barter, https://barter.vg/i/79699/, to find a reason for it but i haven't found one.
A error ?

Hello. Today I discovered the inscription "You are currently serving an Infraction until 2022-01-15 09:59:58 NY Time"
I would like to know - why is the violation?
Comment has been collapsed.
You entered a Doom Eternal protected giveaway without using the sgtools gateway
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, it's true. It happened by accident, me entered without looking.
After some time, I wanted to honestly go into this distribution, because I was subscribed to the group where private links are published and I could no longer, because as it turned out, I entered this distribution earlier.
But the punishment is just. I'll be careful next time.
Comment has been collapsed.
How many times have I bypassed sgtools? Has it ever happened before? If yes, then in which giveaway?
I can say with confidence that this is by accident. I am subscribed to a group where they post information about free distribution of games and where people post their links. Sometimes bad people appear and place links to other people's distributions there, bypassing sgtools.
It doesn't excuse me in any way, I just want to figure it out. As I said, in the future I will look more closely where I am entering.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is your first infraction, you can see that as it's only a month long.
As a rule of thumb, if someone posts a private giveaway link and he/she is not the author of that giveaway, just don't join.
Comment has been collapsed.
knsys, I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year 2022!
May 2022 be a healthy, happy and prosperous year for you.
If you don't celebrate Christmas, strike the part about Christmas and pencil in " ... a few peaceful days..".

Merry christmas, that is a normal behavior as steam api doesn't report most of the dlc's as owned.
Don't worry, your account is not flagged for them.

Hi. Is there a way to find out if GAs are protected by SGTools?
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure.
The source, thread/person etc., have the check when it is a protected one.
Or with other words, gather the Ga links by yourself and don't click on some that you find somewhere in a forum or got sended from someone when it isn't his own.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh come on. If somebody will register on some forum/chat/etc with nickname Masafor and post some links to giveaways - how do people know that it's impostor and not real Masafor?
Comment has been collapsed.
How many "black sheeps" will register somewhere, fake the avatar, name etc. and share links with the goal to lead people into a trap and get them punished for entering protected links ?
Did you really believe that this is a realistic scenario ?
I never seen something like that in all the years on sg.

I have activated a game I won, played it, and then removed it from my Steam library since it was just an asset flip; would that make me seem like having unactivated wins?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, right now you have 1 unactivated win showing. See:
https://www.sgtools.info/nonactivated/Fusha
So right now you're unable to pass a lot of sgtools protected GAs and are at risk to be reported for a rules violation.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes.
I haven't removed any games from my library, but I think I read somewhere you can get the game restored? Maybe try that first, before actually buying it again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cheers! It was really simple to restore it through Steam Support.

Hey knsys, i've recently come up with a non activated game on my account Facerig (https://store.steampowered.com/app/274920/) which i won about 4 years ago and its still in my library on steam. Is this a case of a false positive or is something else going on?

Possible bug:
Checking sent/win ratio with ratio_number_giveaways does not account for zero wins and instead gives an error due to a division by zero. I attached a screenshot of the error below (just a generic "Something wrong happened, please try again").
Example:
https://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/251a345e-f259-11e7-a65e-fa163ee2f826
Suggestion:
If wins are zero, set the wins to 1 instead and calculate the ratio that way.
Extra info:
Checks on other SGTools giveaways are working fine. I also found another user with the same issue.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ratios take into account division by zero, so that is not the error that you are seeing.
The division by 0 is produced by the custom rule, specifically this part: ((real_sent_bundled + real_sent_nonbundled ) / real_won_cv >= 1).
Your real_won_cv is 0.

hey, knsys, i have an invalid enterer:

Comment has been collapsed.
not that i care cause i'm way over 5k but why my sent value differs on sgtools and sg so much? it's now $8407.05 on sg (which is also on sync page) but in sent page it's only $7976.50 now. i get that some things may differ but it's almost $500 missing
Comment has been collapsed.
Most likely a discrepancy on price on retired games from the steam api or old packages that changed price.
Comment has been collapsed.
I try to check user for rulebreaking but have error all the time:
500
Looks like we're having some server issues.
The thing is that for couple of other users it doesn't generate that kind of error.. Could it be connected to the fact that username is 3 letters long?
Comment has been collapsed.
There seems to be an issue with The Watchmaker - the developer turned the full version games into demo only, they messed something up with the steam depots.
SGTools reports it as an unactivated win
