So yesterday I attempted to run my first whitelist giveaway and I somehow messed it up and made it public! I've taken a look at the 5 winners, and most are level 0 and I only whitelist people who have given away a decent number of games. I have whitelisted one of the winners but I really want to do this properly so I have contacted support and asked if I can delete the giveaway and re-run it.

I'm really sorry for wasting all your time and getting up the hopes of those who entered who were not on my whitelist - which is over 1000 of you!

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the giveaway is public and not whitelist. You probably forgot to thick the whitelist box in the whitelist/groups part
I made that mistake too once and made some giveaways that I wanted to be whitelist and group, only group exclusive.

I don't know if you'll have enough giveaway slots to delete these 5 giveaways though, as when you delete them slots for them are lost and if you don't have anymore slots you're locked out from creating more giveaways.
How many giveaways did it said you could create at tue start on the giveaway page?

Thanks for the heads up on this sale. I occasionally bought games with "puzzle" in this names just so I could claim to create "puzzle" giveaways. This looks like a good addition to my inventory. Plus it looks from reviews like a good game, so if it ever shows up on Android I hope to remember it.

Well this is embarrassing.... I screwed up the GA and somehow made it public instead of whitelist only! I have contacted support to ask if I can delete it and re-publish it as I really wanted it to be whitelist only! I'll post a new thread if I am able to do so! Sorry about that folks!

You will need the approval of all five winners to delete it, so that might be hard

Eeek that's not good! If need be I will take a ban as I'm not going to send them to people not on my whitelist :-( Well, we'll see what happens!

We'll be holding our fingers crossed for you.
I have no idea what the support will do about it, I've never heard of it happening before.
If you're that determined about not sending the gifts you can always just not send them and lose those slots.
That would leave a permanent scar on your profile (everyone will be able to see that you haven't delivered the games), but as for the slots, don't worry, you'll get them back over time as you create more giveaways and deliver more gifts.

They have said that I can delete it if I get agreement from all 5 winners. I have 4 out of 5 so far. I'm just struggling to get in touch with the final 1.

Why u even bother yourself with these lists

Because I prefer to give games to those who also give things away and who are nice in general. I don't want to give away my stuff to leechers.
