A month ago some new users made x3 GA.
One public and 2 group only.

The group only GA are over and marked as NOT Receveid. I assume it was fake, and the one left is fake too.
I suggest you to find the public one and save some points from this evil bait.
Dont forget to leave the scam group too DO NOT "JOIN STEAM GROUP FOR MORE GIVEAWAY" ^^

game concerned are Fallout 4 and GTA V (as far as i know)
Take care :)

Thanks for the warning but this is the case in roughly 99,978% of all "AAA (3)" games giveaways. So I'm not surprised.

what if winner was a group member before this giveaway ended and was kicked from this group after this giveaway ended. U can't make a reroll for reason "No Longer a Group Member" and ga-creator don't want give him a game (•‿•)

then the gifter should request a re-roll, support does approve rerolls in that scenario.

If someone creates 3 giveaways for 60 point AAA games in order to promote their steam group with no intention of ever sending those games they need to be permanently banned or else it is just going to encourage more people to do the same. They are just taking advantage of people here in order to inflate the numbers in their steam group and if there is no repercussion, they can tell all the members in their group to come here and do the same.

Edit: I have over 100 giveaways slots, I don't mind loosing some. Can I start making fake 60 or 100 point giveaways to take away other peoples points and give myself better odds to win games? Is that against the rules? If not, It needs to be.

Edit 2: Looking back through the archives, it looks like many people that have created fake giveaways for these games have been permanently suspended, so maybe they will be banned and support is just waiting for all their giveaways to end and be marked as not received (or they could just be busy).

By making new GA you also generate points for all users, no matter will they join your fake GA or not, so its kinda useless

I believe you only received 5% in points from created giveaways. So for a 60 point giveaway that is created, people will only receive 3 points, but all the people that enter will lose 60.

Yes, % of points generated by GAs is low, but not everyone will enter even if you set giveaway for AAA game. some ppl already have it, some will just ignore high populated GAs with low chance of win. And if you set it for 4 weeks or so to get many entries you will have higher chances to get noticed and reported

I edited my post. I thought they weren't doing anything about the fake giveaways, but I went back through the archives and they are permanently suspending people. As long as people are punished, there is no problem.

if he made 3 GAs when he joined and didn't deliver, then he has no more slots.
