I think it would be a fun update and allow for some strategy in entering for games if SG would allow us to use our points to enter for a game more than 1 time.

For exmample: A game is listed for 30 points. I have 105 points. I'm able to dump 90 points into the listing, therefore entering me 3 times. I'm left with 15 points.

A simple drop down would be provided next to the "Enter to Win!" button letting you select 1 to 10, with 10 being the max allowable entries you can make. If you have the points, upon clicking the "Enter to Win!", you will be entered for the game.

Just a fun idea. Would let us dump our points for a greater chance to win at our discretion.

I totally agree, but then I also think that they should add an option of disabling it when you are creating the giveaway.

Yeah. A option when you're creating a new giveaway, something like; "Allow to multiple entries:" No / Yes

No. This site is meant to be fair, everybody gets the same chance when entering. Also, this have been suggested over 991392439 times now..

Explain the unfairness, lol? Everyone gets 300 points max. If you dump it into 1 game, then your points are gone. Same as anyone that entered over many giveaways.

If everyone can enter, let's say 5 times, then what's the point?

people who really want to win a particular game can enter with all their points, whilst others who really aren't too fussed about whatever game it is or would rather invest their points in another title.

i really don't see everyone spending all their points on one single raffle, unless rockstar finally announced GTAV for PC and it was up on steam, or something. oh, and half life 3.

Something doesn't sound right in this. I have counted only 991392437 times it was suggested. Or you have counted twice two of these suggestions, or I have missed them. Can you check again your calculations?

well as far as the fairness of it...that remains intact. This isn't galagifts, we all draw from the same pool of points. if player a spent his 300 on one giveaway while b entered several giveaways once with the exact same 300 its still 300 points worth of chances, b likely has a better chance of winning anyway

Yeah as long as there was an option to disable that when creating a giveaway I think it would be a good idea.

How about an idea for an upgrade add-on where SG will generate infinite points and also give you AIDS.

Well, there IS a winner, same as usual, just less points to use in the end for the same amount of GAs.

galagifts is broken at its core regardless

(they turned gifting into a transaction, but then it takes an order of magnitude more points to win than you get from a giveaway anyway. so the poitns for gifts thing drives gifters away and the unprofitibility and inability to break even drive off those who approach it with a "trader" mentality)

No, give away sites each have their own rules. Nothing is broke here, everything works fine and it's fair. I like this site the way it is right now.

NOPE

now, i'm going to read your post...
oh, something like gala-giveaways...

STILL NOPE

btw, this have been suggested several times...
the idea of this site is 1 entry per giveaway, that is fair, completely objective and pure fairness

I'm already seeing those AAA, 3 weeks long giveaways with all the 300 points everyday. Now, those have around 5000-10000 entries. See when they have 100000 or 500000 entries.

Sorry, but it's a useless suggestion. That would only amount to giveaways with a million entries being made by the same thousand-plus group of contestants. So the odds would pretty much remain the same.

Nope, what differentiates SG from all other sites of the type is EQUAL CHANCE TO ALL. Long live comrade cg!

NO: 1 entry per member, that is as fair as it gets. The more points you have just means that there either wasn't enough games on offer for your choice of entry or you weren't a contributor or you didn't have enough to enter at the time. Allowing more then one entry into the giveaway for the game you want, does yes increase the chance you have of winning it, but then that completely goes against the fact that this is a fair system. One per member is as fair as it gets. So No, big no-no. I agree with every No on this thread. It's not broke, you don't need to fix it. If you aren't happy with the system, then get over it. You have a fair chance of winning already just like everyone else does. Your system is based on having an unfair advantage.
