I can see Wolfenstein: New Order in my giveaway list. When I open the giveaway it says "Previously Won" on the enter button. Shouldn't the giveaway be hidden then?

And yes, the button to hide games I already own is checked.

But you don't own the game and you've never won it. Or is it for a different game?

Have you synced your account to steam? It knows you've WON the game, but sounds like they don't know you also activated it. You still have to sync your account to make recently won games hide themselves, as far as I've noticed.

I won it 7 month ago, so that's definitely not the problem. So far it seems to be the only game.

If you have the option here set to hide games you already own, it should remove the game from the giveaway list so that you don't see it.

If you disable that option and click on a game that you already own, the enter button should say "Exists in account" and not let you enter.

With the new change here, giveaways should say "Previously won" and not let you enter of you have previously won the game.

Since you are seeing "Previously won" and not "Exists in account", I believe that means that the site sees that you won the game, but it does not see that you own it on Steam. Looking at your list of games on Steam I see "Wolfenstein: The New Order German Edition". Maybe the German edition has a different Steam ID from the standard version which is causing SG to not see it as existing on your account and showing you the wrong notification on the giveaway enter button.

I guess you're right. I thought of it as well, but didn't thought of another phrase as "Exists in account".

@CG/Mod: Is this a known thing for "Wolfenstein: The New Order"?

I don't know the details of how cg implemented this, but that's most likely the reason. The filtering of owned games in the giveaway list is based on the game ID, and I'm guessing cg changed the feature preventing users to enter previously won games to look for the giveaway title rather than the ID because of this : https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/wNFGG/bug-cannot-enter-giveaways-due-to-developer-beta-giveaway

The Masterpiece Edition is a pack. Steam API has problems detecting that (just like DLCs).
