Fortunately never had the need for a reroll so far but this sounds like a great change.

Despite all the drama of the past few weeks, it seems substantial improvements are in the works. I'm confident this is the way forward for steamgifts. At the same time, the community has stepped up, and we've been weeding out traders and regifters. It's getting better by the day.

cg, this all is great man. I feel the community's overall quality has declined a bit, and drawn in some very unwanted types.. However, right about since the new "Report User" and "Delete Giveaway" features were added, I've been feeling more and more that things are coming back better than before :)
Thanks once again for the hard work dude. It's not much seeing those few words on a screen perhaps, but I really mean it, surely along with a bunch of other contented users of the site :)

nice update.
I have a suggetion for this function. first, remove the existing winner from entries and then reselect the new winner.
I created private giveaway but the winner doesn't meet requirement so I use this function.
the winner reselected but new winner had problem too. he did giveaways beta keys over 10 copies for his contributor value.
I requested to reselect the winner again. but system selected original winner who doesn't meet requirement.
thanks for read

It's no surprise we're behind on tickets, but we're quickly catching up with the help of some new moderators and tools at their disposal. This one is no exception. First off, if you have a ticket in support for a reroll request, it's been automatically closed, with a link to this thread. We're moving all requests for a new winner into an updated system with a handful of improvements to speed things up.
How do I request a new winner?
Head over to the View Created page, and open up the winner for one of your giveaways. You'll see a button next to their name saying Request New Winner. Clicking this button will forward you over to a form, where you can select a reason, and provide additional notes.
Available reasons
What happens next?
Once you submit a request, a support ticket is automatically created with the appropriate information for moderators to review. Any additional notes you provided are added as the first comment. If at any time you want to cancel the request, you can close the support ticket, or cancel from the View Created page.
Moderators have the ability to deny or approve requests with the push of a button. An automated message will appear on your ticket based on the moderator's selection. If it's denied, and you feel you left out important information, you can always submit a request again.
Security
Requests for a new winner must go through this process. Winners are locked, and cannot be rerolled by a moderator until a request is submitted. As we grow our team of moderators in the future, this ensures everything is logged, and giveaways cannot be rerolled without the permission of the creator.
Moderators cannot reroll their own giveaways, they need to be approved by another moderator going through the above process. Similiar to the previous point, this will allow us to safely expand our moderator team.
