"I stop giving away games if people are ungrateful"

Saw that somewhere but I don't really care. I'm giving away games simply because I want to.

If someone marks it as not received, I don't mind. I might feel sad for a moment but it doesn't really affect anything.

It's the problems of making public giveaways with no level restriction, I guess if you watch every winner, you will find more things like ppl who marked as received but regifted. or sold game, or never activated.

You could open a support ticket with proof that you delivered the game.

As sviat said, those are the risks of public level 0 giveaways, there are a lot of leechers, regifters, script kiddies entering those GA.

Anyway:

• Registered: 2 months ago
• Gifts Sent: 967 ($9,919.83)

Report them, they will get banned and you will get recieved

One word - scumbag

And some of them hope for getting second copy of the game cus the first one "didnt worked, key already used"

I send them a friend request. I wait till they accept. I verify they don't have the game. I send them the gift from my inventory or the code. I screengrab that conversation to prove that the gift was sent in case they try to mark it as not received. This usually works out.
Twice though they never accepted my friend request. I contacted support showing them screenshots of me trying to contact them. After 7 days, my reroll requests get approved and I give it to the next winner.

And as sviat said above, I don't think I've had a problem with higher level giveaways. Not saying its not possible there either but the chances are less than with "open to all" giveaways.

Two people out of 1000 being a problem is a pretty good ratio in the long run though. I was at two after my first 2 giveaways on this website. Support will help you out on this I'm sure.

You can never be too paranoid when people are bunch of bastards. Screenshot every e-mail, every steam gift you send... record with a screen recording app (like Camtasia for an example) and always backup your evidence to encrypted dropbox/mega account.

It's not so you can prove them wrong, it's so you can keep your reputation when having a bad luck of giving a gift to someone ungrateful.

Also, support justice is not always swift, but they are more righteous than Dredd, so no worries.

This is the reason i dont do giveaways without restriction and i always add winners and contact them personally...but i guess so much trouble, when you do so much giveaways like you...really awesome :)

Maybe psychological problem ?!

Most people that mark as not received without contacting you are usually people that regift/trade the keys you provide. What I do is always follow up with my winners.
A week or so ago I run some public lvl 2+ GAs and in one of them there was a winner that was online a lot yet hadn't marked his key as received. So I went through his history and found that he had created a GA for the same game some hours after I sent the key, and in addition to that, there were a few other wins he marked as received yet never activated. I proceeded to send a ticket to support suspecting he's gonna regift the key I provided and they were quite fast in their response. One of the support personel left him a comment on his GA asking if he's regifting that apparently scared him and marked it as received finally. Then another support member went through his history, found the "wrongdoings" and suspended him(he's still got 1 week before he comes back :P )
But generally if you provided a key and made efforts to come in contact with the winner that marked the GA incorrectly but had no luck you can always send a ticket to support to change the feedback. To me it's not that much a matter of perfect account history as it is a matter of principle.

Sorry to hear this :(
Maybe they changed the checkbox by mistake (I want to have faith in this), you try to contact them
Besides contacting them via steam or mail, you can send a comment in one of their old GA for them to see on the web SG, one of them is now logged in SG and the other just 7 hours ago.

Gfunk, where rhythm is life, and life is rhythm.

REGULATORRRRRS!

everyday i'm spotting more and more users breaking the rules with regifting,not activating their won games,giving away free stuff etc but they usually are 0,1 or 2 level.
its really bad one of those 2 is actually level 3

Hey, nevermind them because..

We shall find them, and kill them. Or at least destroy their properties violently... OR ! sneak into their houses regularly, and spray "Not received" on the walls in red, so that they'll freak out.
I'm not weird...

Well the same shit happened to me, also it was my first giveaway xD i send the key, guy marked as recived, than couple of weeks later i was checking if everyone activated their gifts, that guy didin't, the key was used, also saw him regift other games he won, but this one wasn't cheaper so i think he just sold it... i blacklisted the guy, file a ticket to support a couple of days later he changed it from recived to "not recived" o_O

WHAT PRICKS! We don't need people like that in Steamgifts.

You're awesome :3

Still when that happens it can be quite annoying, people can be assholes.

@gFunk you did mark in those tickets that it was misuse of giveaway feedback right? Last I checked they focus more on specific type of tickets and if you just put regular report you won't expect and support anytime soon and post how you made so many giveaways so far so they know to check and see you are a major giveaway creator.

You don't appear to level restrict your GA's. You may have better feedback from recipients if they are higher level, and thus hopefully more used to site procedures.
