Multiple giveaways for the same game -> Suggestion

Closed

I have a small and simple suggestion.

If a person enters multiple giveaways and wins one of them he should be automatically removed from all other giveaways of that game he entered. This should prevent members accidentally winning two copy's of the same game.

This also gave me the idea (while writing this) that the games members have should be checked and made impossible for them to enter giveaways for games they already own.

I hope this hasn't been suggested before.

Good ideas but I'm sure they've all been suggested a few times before.

Yeah, I thought that was probable but since I wasn't sure I decided to post it my self.

The problem with this is the opening and finishing times for giveways which users set to their subs. I think would be a chaos to handle it on the database.

I posted a similar thread a few days ago, if a person wins multiple giveaways for the same game, there will just be a reroll and another winner would be selected.

Some Steam profiles are private, meaning this site can't track what games they own.
