I made a GA and the winner don't responce to my friend invite (or didn't check his notifications) despite been online and playing Rocket League and other games.
The price of the game is going to change (Summer Sales ends in approx_ 6 hours) The GA is a Steam gift game so i need to buy it, and the guy don't responce. I submitted a ticket 10 hrs ago to request a reroll.

HELP!

Wait
I don't care

I'd say buy the game now and wait for him to get around to it, if he doesn't you can always do a reroll to give the key to someone else.

no.. can't until 7days has passed.. its been 10hrs.

nothing you can do in this situation really. it's why gifting steam gifts is not recommended with such a short sale time.

sorry. i totally understand your conundrum. steams new gifting policy really screwed us here on steamgifts.com. =(
tbh, just take the "not received" mark and move on with lesson learned. =( there won't be a punishment for not delivering beyond that red mark on your profile.

You can't store newly-purchased gifts in your inventory any more.

The only exception being multi-packs, since the extra copies still work like the old gifts.

the steam gifting policy was changed so that you must be friends with the recipient prior to purchasing the game & you can no longer gift to email or store in inventory. so until the winner accepts the steam invite, it can't be purchased, and the sale for it ends in a few hours.

I'd send him an email and post on his profile telling him that you need to send him the game before the sale ends.
Otherwise, you are fucked.

It states "Anonymous" until the winner marks it as received.

The game has been in bundles, you could try and trade for a key. Not sure if it's an option for you, but it's also available at Tremorgames for ~300 coins, which is not that much.

Actually there is nothing much you have to worry about at the moment for this particular giveaway. It's currently 90% off until 19th of July, so you got an extra 2 weeks to get in touch with the winner (that said, you are granted a re-roll if you are unable to contact them after 7 days).
