My GAs:
- one public - I regret...
- one comment private - it was ok
- puzzle number 1 - wow, amazing! :D
- puzzle number 2 - I make it too easy... but wow! amazing! :D
I'm not a leech, even if I participate in public and make privates.
Why?
Because people who make public GAs want to spread it.
I want to make big chances GAs, where people can feel that gambling emotion right away! :D

I'd like to be added. Not sure if I got skipped over before or denied :(

Wow I also have the same definition of leech according to you.. The person who shares in a small group or private giveaway with just few people entering. Adding you to my whitelist!
Comment has been collapsed.
Interesting! Your thought on what a leech is is exactly mine as well.
I do have 1 current Invite only giveaway, which is for a puzzle. But besides that, all my giveaways will not be focused on a Steam group or a Invite only (unless it is a puzzle giveaway). I do have a giveaway that didn't work properly, which is why I have 1 Not Received and 1 not marked. But then again, it was my first time. Hope you have fun with your giveaways.

Well, regarding your "entered GA" sentence, I've entered more than 1500 I think. And I've won a decent share. I think you're just unlucky.

As long as Couillon Inc rulez the world we are all okey!

I'm not sure whether or not you'd consider me a leech. I giveaway more games than I win, but less expensive games than I win.
Also, I only create private giveaways for the forum.
I'll leave the rest up to you I guess. :P

Out of the 59 GAs you've made, I would only have been able to join the very first you ever made.
Comment has been collapsed.
And what about giveaways for open or semi-open groups? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Semi-open - you can join if you are russian/blonde/have X game on steam - that kind of thing.
Im asking not that Im desperate to get to whitelist, but because 90% (probably) of my giveaways are for such groups - as a manner of promoting steam group or website.

Feel free to judge whether I may be whitelisted as well.

My tag for you says: "184 / 216 - % Private"
And now you're on "184 - 229"

I suppose what you're trying to say is that I've made too few public giveaways recently?
Or is the ratio imbalance too skewed?
Comment has been collapsed.
According to your definition, I probably fall in the leech category then.

I haven't made any whitelist only giveaways yet but I'll be sure to return the favor & add you to my whitelist for when I do.

Only thing in your list I haven't done so far is have lengthy giveways because I like to send the keys as soon as possible! Something to consider changing in the future I guess...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, it's kinda (let's call it a "leech move") with the real short GAs, I think 24 hrs is the absolute minimum and 48 is the sweet spot.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wouldn't call it that but hey your list your rules! One advantage of sort GAs though is that they give higher chances for those that do enter (less entries and all that). At least for the open-to-all ones I've done so far.
That's my take on it anyway, don't know how the rest of the community feels about it... Been on this site for over a year and I've just started reading the forums! :P

You did notice that you've got whitelisted, right?
And let me quote a crazy person I know pretty well..
(one world does not equal one time zone, please keep this in mind when creating giveaways.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually I hadn't noticed lol! Thanks!
Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with that quote, I just haven't really given it much thought until now and wanted to share my reasoning! I think I might start doing a mix of both short-ish and long GAs from now on.

From an effort point of view, it's quicker for you to create a 24 hrs GA than a 12 or shorter GA... (less button pressing) ;)
And you'll make a lot more people happy, so there's that..

I've been called a leech before, but I don't think I am. Feel free to evaluate me along you own arbitrary criteria. Whitelist me if you want, and I'll return the favor. I don't mind if you don't, though.

have a look at my numbers and decide for yourself.
the invite only GAs were part of my birthday train, but everyone who read the forum post was able to enter these.

I'm not sure i fit your 1/30 ratio... am I a leech to you?
Comment has been collapsed.
That's just an example, hence the (i.e. % of Gifts Send / Won).

I already have 255 people on my whitelist and I hope to add many more...
You know you're not a leech and want to be whitelisted?
Just ask and I'll see what we can do about it. ;)
Whenever I join a GA I look at the creators stats and if they seem good, I add them to my whitelist.
An are you already on the list? Test
Current whitelist count 709
2 Blacklisted
What is a leech?
To ME it's someone who..
• Makes (zero / only one) giveaway and then leeches without ever giving back.
• For the most only creates "invite only / private GAs" and yet still partakes in public GAs
(i.e they can win from all but no one (from public) can win from them.)
• Creates GAs out of the free games from sites like Indiegala / Facebook etc..
• Has been on the site since day one (3 years?) and only managed to create a one, if not zero GAs
but have won 100 times and have a Steam library of 500+ games.. You know the type, right?
What I look at when deciding to whitelist:
• "% Invite" (% of Invite Only)
• "% Private" (i.e. Small Closed Groups)
• "% Created / Won" (i.e. Win Ratio in %)
• "% Region" (i.e. % of Region Restrictions)
• "Time since last GA was created"
Something I wish I could see:
• Length of time on completed giveaways (one world does not equal one time zone, please keep this in mind when creating giveaways.)
• When "Invite only" are for forum trains and thus open for all.
Whitelist 101
I reserve the right to boot you from the whitelist if:
• Your GA create to win ratio goes into the negative.
• Your "Invite Only / Private Group / Region Restricted" GAs exceeds 33% of your total GAs.
• Its been 30 days since your last GA but only a day since your last win, which now places you in the negative.
The former is only for approximate guidance, the last is an instant boot reason.
• You create "fake" region restricted GAs.
• You create GAs from free keys. (IndieGala etc.)

Some useless info: Entered 1195 GAs before winning for the first time.
