I don't think you're forbidden to, but the owner of the giveaway usually specifies, such as not being able to enter if you have more than 2, more than half, etc.

Let's put it this way: You are not forbidden to enter it (unless it's a "GOTY" bundle, and you already have the base game and want to enter for the DLC).
This way you can't go wrong: ask the giveaway creator if it's okay to enter.

okay, it's a "per case" decision, nothing that can be answered generally ;)

It depends on the giveaway maker, most times he puts in the descrition how many games you can have to enter. When he doesn't say anything in the description then ask him if you are allowed to enter, it's never nice (and the giveawayer can request a reroll) when you own many games from the bundle.

If the giveaway is public the creator can't make ANY kind of rules.

(Example) If I have Portal I can't enter giveaways for Valve Complete Pack? Is that right?

But Valve Complete Pack includes Portal. SO? Is it against the rules or not?

Generally yes, it is against the rules when the giveaway creator don't want that someone who owns a game from the bundle. When the giveaway creator is fine with it you don't have any problems but if he isn't fine with it he has the full right to reroll the giveaway (even on public giveaways).

I wonder if this will be in the rules (the new mythical ones).

As I told you, it's already in the rules!
Just because there are also games you don't have in the giveaway, you're still entering for a game you already have (Portal). It really isn't that hard to understand.
But in your Valve Complete Pack example, I do believe most times the giveaway creator will be fine with you entering. But it is the creator's decision.

It's up to the giveaway creator, if you can enter the giveaway or not. That has been stated by support several times. You should ask in the comments of the giveaway, if it's okay to enter.

Well, If I was missing a few of the games, and I really wanted them, then I might enter.

If there is one giveaway which contains multiple different games and I already own one or even several games from it, but I am interested for the rest, can I enter it or I am forbidden to do so?
Thanks for the answer. I hope it's understandable.
