So who here uses GalaGiveaways as well as SteamGifts?

lol

less ppl,crappy giveaways,ppl with tons of points enter in everything for trade/regifting,to get points you HAVE TO giveaway stuff(max ponts you can get for free is 10k which is nothing) so not really worth it to gift stuff there.

I wouldn't recommend Gala Giveaways.

Ok so not that great, got it. I do still think their trading feature is decent. Easier to get noticed lol but otherwise yeah it sounds like they need to rework their giveaway system.

I think your question about their points system would be better answered by the GalaGiveaways site FAQ

As far as my opinions on it, pretty positive. I love having a site where I can win Desura codes. Hate the overabundance of poker, >10k point, and 10+ feedback giveaways. Of course I am looking forward to having the ability to make GAs for those without wins. That'll be great! On Steam Gifts it's a touch harder to do that.

I've yet to have any issues with the site itself. Heard bad things about some of its members, but that's a given.

I used it for a little while, until i realized how ridiculous their whole point system is and plus the game selection is pretty sub par.
gameminer.ru is pretty good tho, that's my second favorite after steamgifts.

I've occasionally entered for Desura games and have won nothing. Eh.

i stopped checking.

only won multiwinia from a 50-copy giveaway there, which rounded off my set of introversion games nicely. personally dislike everything from the layout to the newly introduced poker system (wut) and the shoutbox is filled with people i'd love to facepunch on a good day.

I just burn my points once in while. The general design concept and usabilty are plain retarded. The code is not optimized and the site often lags like hell. All in all not very appealing to me.

GalaGiveaways is an awful site. I used them earlier in the year and the points system is a joke. Not going to bid on a bundle game for 100K points. Steam Gifts is much better, a good balance and fair for everyone to win. It is why I will be here for a long time and happy to give away games to support the site.

What's the trading section you're speaking about?

never heard of that gala thing.
just took a look at it and i think its weird.
not good looking and definitely less good than steamgifts.

Stopped checking after the replies stopped on the refill thread here. Won once after a few months and never got the game.

Ignore the chat and comments. Farm points to enter the occasional high-cost giveaway of a good game. Feel no moral qualms about winning the same thing five times. No need to activate your wins, just don't regift them on Gala Giveaways and you're golden.

Galagiveaway is better IMO. You get points on the site for how many steam games you already own and can use those points to enter drawings for steam keys, often big ticket AAA games. There is a drawing every couple minutes and like 100s a day. A lot of the drawings do not have many entries so you can get pretty good odds. Also you can put up keys in order to gain more points, but you start off with a lot of points so you don't really need to do that. It is very game like.

Steamgifts is so much better. I occasionally go to galagiveaways and enter refill giveaways, currently have 561,870 points

gala giveaways is not that great; actually they are trying too many things at a time and failing in everything except trade section which is the only thing I like there .

Yes I have experience with galagiveaways, not really good site. But better than Playblink where you spend your life playing their stupid games and win nothing, just spend time. And better than gameminer too I think.

Galagiveaways team are misers, they always gave 10.000 points if you enter refill, but once they started to give 100 or 1000, first I thought it was an error, because who the hell will make a refill just for 100 points, but they did. Now they give only 5000 in refill, and their points recovery system sometimes is very fast and other times is extremely slow.

sg > other sites

I won a game from Galagiveaways. I have had no problems with it.

I just logged in for the first time over at GalaGiveaways. I have almost 900,000 points? How does that work?

yep..won 7 games there

I think I threw up from that layout
