Hey, I've tried to make a private giveaway with your tool, but is seems it doesn't work with region-locked keys (it says " Error: Giveaway is not private "). It's a bug?

Would it be possible to add a small feature where you can enter the name of a game (or even the appid), and the site tells you how much CV it would give to create a giveaway for that game? Currently it seems like I have to find someone who made a giveaway, and look at the real-cv page of that user, which is a bit roundabout.

Look at the game in this list: http://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games
If you find it the value will be 15% of the points needed to enter

Still says I have some unactivated wins when I try to check requirements for a giveaway
Comment has been collapsed.
Because your data are sitll in the short-term cache. Once it expires the tool will parse the new data and you'll be able to enter.
This is a measure to avoid massive parsing when a user wants to enter several GA and to avoid people trying to cheat the system to some extend

I haven't been able to access the new giveaways sections of the site at all, either using it myself or trying to see if I qualify for other's giveaways. It makes me sign in with steam and then always gives a 500 error.

I figured it out. This character in my steam name messed it up. Once I removed it I had no problem signing in.

Hello!
I won Duke Nukem Forever, but sgtool count it as not-activated. In Steam Store game have ID 57900 (https://steamdb.info/app/57900/), I received with ID 57970 (https://steamdb.info/app/57970/). Can you make it whitelisted or something?

Hello. The tool can't detect that I already activated Europa Universalis III: Divine Wind.

It was a part of Europa Universalis III Collection (http://store.steampowered.com/sub/29112/)

Didn't know if was reported already but still.
Your site says I won some games several times, but this is not true. I mean it's half true, because I really won them, but in first time I haven't recieved the key, and second time the key was already activated. So both giveaways checked as "Not recieved" on SG, which is true. But your site doesn't allow me to enter some guys' giveaways because of this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, this is one of those instances where the tool can't check if you marked as received or not. there were more then 3 winners, so not all are displayed in the overview, and both GAs were region restricted, so the tool can't look at them... guess this also needs some special handling...
Comment has been collapsed.
That's exactly the case and that's why some hours ago I created this suggestion.
Thanks for keeping people informed :D

"Not activated" DLC:

Great work with the tool, its quite useful. I do have a couple questions regarding the Giveaway Dashboard though. Does it use cached data or does it obtain it live? If it is cached, how often it is updated? The reason I ask is that according to the CV checker I have a total of $3.15 Real CV on Public Giveaways, yet when trying to enter a giveaway with a required 2 it claims I have only $0.15. Feedback on my second public giveaway was obtained sometime earlier today.
Edit: And now it correctly detects my CV.

I have a question. For a long time I had multiple wins for the same game (2-year-old case, my first days on SG), but now it's finally fixed. As you can see, it corectly says I don't have any multiple wins. However, when I try to enter giveaway with "No multiple wins" condition, it still says that my account is flagged as having multiple wins for the same game.
Is there any way to fix it?
Comment has been collapsed.
It could be possible but not very practical since the number raises every now and then and we use a cached value it'll easily made people who in theory can enter the GA wait until cache is renewed.
Apart from that, it means more SG parsing for a flat number that by itself doesn't mean much
Comment has been collapsed.
Raising number isn't a problem. I am interested in unlucky giveaways and using number of entries (entries >= X) and maximum won value (value == 0) could be used to find those that haven't won but have at least tried to some degree. Can be done without the first but it then allows just registered members to pass through which isn't the point.

"The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom: Deluxe Gold Edition" may have false positive.
I just encountered someone who won this and it shows they did not activate it. When I manually check their game library, there is "The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom - Gold Edition", store page automatically redirects to the Deluxe Gold page.
Please double check, thanks!

+1 for me too flags as false positive :c The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom - Deluxe Gold Edition, preventing me from joining GAs when people use SGtools to handle the link to GAs, I was commenting it in old discussion few days back, so I copied it here too now.

False Positive report: A strange case of AppID games being played.

"Your account is flagged as having some unactivated win".
I have activated all my wins but the tool detects these DLCs as false positives (preventing me from joining GAs):

Hi,
I won and activated http://store.steampowered.com/app/73020/ but it shows this as not activated: http://store.steampowered.com/app/25980/
Seems like another one for the false positive list.

I won and activated this game - http://store.steampowered.com/app/236870
But sgtools said its not activated - http://www.sgtools.info/nonactivated/XardasM
Can you fix it? =)

How long is a "short period of time"?
I've been having problems entering giveaways the past couple of days ("Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is Private."), but a manual check shows me clean.
I never used to have to open up my profile to pass the check (I presume that's the caching in action?).
Also, I've had a manual check tell me my profile is still private shortly after I open it up...

Sorry I did not write it properly, I was not referring to you, but in general to avoid malicious uses of sync.
Cache renewal is semi random (fixed part + random offset) to try to prevent some people cheating the system, and to have time to recover what they cheated from the database to have proof about their activities. (There has been people trying to cheat it)
That's the reason that the timing is not specified :)
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, I understand that you can't tell exactly how long the cache period is for any given instance.
What I'd like to know is if my "couple of days" is likely to be longer than the typical cache period, i.e. is what I'm seeing likely to be cache-related or something else?
If it's cache-related, what's a roughly reasonable additional time to wait to let it sort itself out (another day? a week?); otherwise, is it likely some other problem I'm seeing?
Comment has been collapsed.
is the cache the reason why the following happens to me right now?
i tried to enter a giveaway, but my account was flagged for multiple wins in March 2013. that was some days ago (not sure when exactly). i then resolved the issue by contacting the GA creator from back then. so when i check now, i don't have any multiple wins anymore. sgtools says my status is good. but when i try to enter this specific giveaway again, i still get the message that my account is flagged. will this resolve itself over time?
Comment has been collapsed.
[Sorry, I think we hit a limit on forum's nesting level, so in case you didn't get a message flag for my deeply-nested response, please allow me to repeat it here.]
You said: "Set your profile public and have it that way until it syncs"
Back to my original question: how long is that?
If it's longer than, say, a minute, and I can't force sync, then sgtools is incompatible with private (or, in my case, friend-only) profiles.
Comment has been collapsed.
Please make this clear to anyone who creates a giveaway affected by this recent change.
sgtools generally helps people automate checking SteamGifts policies or additional policies of their choosing for giveaways, but this is a serious divergence from SteamGifts policy (i.e. SteamGifts has no problem with private or friend-only profiles). and it must be an explicit choice by the giveaway creator.
I will do my part to discourage use of sgtools until/if this changes, at least by people who respect the privacy of others.
EDIT: I started a poll/discussion here: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/Js88O/
