Re-gifting won giveaways, is it right?

Where does this "40% can be assumed to be re-gifted articles" come from?

Ethical or not, re-gifting isn't allowed. If you don't want a game, don't enter the giveaway.

Read the FAQ

It's neither ethical, nor is it allowed.

You have to activate the won game on your own account (as stated in the site's rules) - if you don't you face a suspension and maybe a ban if you keep violating rules.

Not ethical, not permitted and should always be reported if true.

How did you come up with that 40%?

*The submitter and winner(s) of the giveaway have seven (7) days to complete the gifting process. This includes the activation of the gift on the Steam account of the winner.

Just report them, i saw how moderators delete re-gifting giveaways and sometimes they ban ppl who do this.

It is in the FAQ dude.

There's also huge giveaways of 25.000/5.000 copies of devs or other people.
Not to count any giveaways with more than one copy, but oh well.

Hmm, given you don't seem to know the rules, lacking one of your wins on your profile isn't that surprising.

40%?

no gary no

" one could say that they did not want their won gifts and entered the giveaway by chance" they should not be entering the giveaway then

it is a GIFT, not a contribute value upgrade

Use your ban time to learn some statistics.

I highly doubt it's 40% for regifted games. Honestly, trading off games/not activating them is more common then regifting.

If I had to guess stats, it'd be 5% regifted, and 10% unactivated.

And no it isn't ethical. If you don't want a game you shouldn't enter for it just to sell/trade/regift it. That's fine to do on sites like playblink but this site is to give gifts for people to actually play.

40%?

Does this statistic come from the same place as:

97.8% of the men in your family tree selected their cousins or sisters as "life partners"?

Had this happen to one of my giveaways. They not only relisted it here, they won another giveaway for exactly the same game the following day which they then added to their library, so they not only got the game they got a free giveaway and CV out of it. not cool.

Re-gifting is punished. 40% is a rude number, I don`t think the real one is above 10%.

ps: activate your nuclear dawn copy - to avoid being banned.

I regift things all the time. I gift someone one game, and they gift me another! Then I gift it out on steamgifts! Every gift I give on steamgifts is a regift!

Edit: gift gift gift gift gift gift gift gift gift gift gift gift gift gift (I didn't say it enough times)

I guess that's why 40% of users are banned.
