No winner?

Closed

Does something in particular happens if a giveaway ends without a winner?
Like, no one enters and the time finishes?
Can the person that created the giveaway just repeat it again?

There are no winners, I think you lose a giveaway slot.

You can reuse the key (obviously) but you manually need to set up a new giveaway if you want to give it another go.

He gets the slot back. He looses it if he deletes the GA before its over. If it ends then he gets it back.

Thanks for the clarification, I really wasn't tracking my slots enough

you get a new slot for every 3 good GAs done. This case is just a wash. No changes.

If no one entered then you get the GA slot back. The key is unused and you can redo it if you wish or create a different group or lower GA so you do get entries. I've had a couple like that.

I see you're quite new here and you're doing your first giveaway. Congratulations !
Don't worry, if there's no winner, there's no winner and that's all. But as your GA has no restrictions, my guess is that you'll get some entries from bots people.
Edit : The time, I found how too strike a word, you already have 20 entries !

you won't really need to worry about no entrants unless you are running something that is super common(payday 2 for example) with a higher lvl requirement or GA's in small groups.

unrestricted lvl 0 GA's will always get people? entering.

You do need 5 entries for CV to count (but if you do public giveaways you shouldn't be encountering that unless for some vague DLC).

Some DLC GAs can't be entered because SG can't detect the required base game. In that case, I assume nothing happens. No CV, and no extra GA slots, but you do get the original slot back, even if a public GA.

You will get CV with even 1 entry in public GA. Limit is for private, group, whitelist and region-locked GAs

If a giveaway is invite only, region restricted, or limited to a whitelist or Steam group, it will only add contributor value if it receives 5 or more entries.

Yeah, you can just run the GA again. I'm in a reasonably small group that has a monthly giveaway requirement, and sometimes my GAs have received no entries. When that happens, I just copy and paste the key into a new GA that's public, and it gets hundreds of entries, or more.
