Wait, what? How is this possible?

So a few weeks back I've won my first game on here and I haven't checked my Profile since then. Well today I took a look and my win suddenly disappeared from here. I still have the game in my Steam library and everything works perfect, just on here it says I never won a game. So, how is this possible?

Was the game that you won something that was free and/or has been exploited? Sometimes the staff will retroactively delete giveaways that appear to have been abusing free promos for contributor value.

Other than that, I'm not really sure.

Uh not that I know off ... Well it doesn't matter much, because I have the game I was just curious. Ah well, this means I get to celebrate my first win all over again

Well, I guess, being a little bit more concrete, and tell at least the name of the game you won, would help a lot in finding the answer to your question.

What game was it?

As others have said, it was probably an exploited key and, if so, while it will show as a deleted giveaway on the creator's profile, it won't appear on yours as a win.

Now you can make a thread about zero wins.

Aside from exploited keys like others mentioned, giveaways are deleted when someone is caught re-gifting. Most likely the case if the game you won wasn't something that was available for free.
