Hijacking first post to let you know: it is randomly chosen. Gifter doesn't select sh*t, except feel happy at reading all the thanks. Some people like to use their giveaway description to ask something, like "Hey can someone tell me if this game is any good?" in the description. It is not needed to answer such a question, though highly recommended. Some private giveaways DO require you to answer a question/ solve a puzzle if so, and if you win the game but haven't done what the gifter has asked you too, then he re rolls the giveaway, so that someone will win( re roll is done with the approval of a Moderator). Hope this helps.

Since the giveaway creator has to buy the game he or she is giving away, those who enter the giveaway often thank the creator for his or her generosity.

Faq says that everyone has equal chances of winning, but for example in this giveaway: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/cxSxP/dino-d-day
Guy asks something about your pet. So does that mean if I don't say anything about the pet in comment section, he would not choose me? Isn't the winner selected randomly by the system?

"win a free game!!! in the comments!!!
tell me about your pet whats his/her name ?
how much dose he/she mean to you ?
ill pick a winner at the end!! Legendary is the game u will win!! :3 good luck!!"
On that giveaway the creator is also giving away the game "Legendary" to someone else who talks about their pets as an extra, he/she would just pick the comment he/she liked more, but the Dino D-day is totally random.

Creators MUST check all the entrants profiles and decide to give it to the most appealing, but not from friendlist, cause can be banned.
Has to omit all those thanks messages, cause they only want to seem nicer and get a bigger chance to win the game.
Wait... WUT?

Hello. Is the winner selected randomly, automatically or is it being chosen by the giveaway creator?
