I was wondering if there is somekind of calculation regarding how many entries are required on average to win an item around here?

There are people who won something the same day they registered and people who didn't win anything with 1000+ entries here. It's random.

  • If you enter 1 giveayway with 1 total entry, your chance to win is 100%.
  • If you enter 1 giveayway with 100 total entries, your chance to win is 1%.
  • If you enter 3 giveaways with 10 total entries, your chance to win all three is: 1/10 1/10 1/10 >> 1:1000 or 0.1%
  • If you enter 3 giveaways with 10 total entries, your chance to win at least one is: 1 - (9/10 9/10 9/10) >> 271:1000 or 27.1%

etc...

These type of answers are as useless as your question.

If you want to know how to augment your chance to win, then the answer is quite simple:
Enter giveaways with as little participants as possible. e.g.

  • join a steam group with a limited number of members that does regular group giveaways
  • use the forums to enter private giveaways that are either publicly posted or hidden in a puzzle
  • create giveaways to earn contributor status
  • enter giveaways that are only open for a short time (e.g. 1 hour giveaways)
