Thats the site where you only get points to enter if you give.... :-D

I made an account and I had 344,545 points to start with. That's like 350ish entries before I would have to give anything. Between the shitty site design and general sluggishness of using it, I think I'll keep giving things away here instead.

True (and that is also an idiotic way of doing things) but everything I saw was 1k or less in general. Also, it allows you to enter into giveaways for games you already have, which is shitty.

I did actually, it gives you a bit of points once you drop to 0 but not nearly enough to enter most giveaways from what I gather :-P.

Basically, it's just Indie Gala being Indie Gala and doing everything in a shitty halfass ripoff type of way.

There are other differences. For example, I can't see past the first 16 giveaways and the filter box on the home page doesn't seem to work. Oh, and the first two or three giveaways listed tonight tend to say "Ends in 0 secs". You've got to admit that is a different way of doing things compared to SteamGifts.

In an alternate universe...
Steamgifts a.k.a. "Shitty galagiveaways.com"

UI is continually being improved, I see changes on it daily. Everything still works, even though it may not look polished.
Set bidding is almost like contributor giveaways, so the odds are lower for those who are willing to risk more and also give away more.

Its a decent idea, but appears to be somewhat shoddily executed. The whole site seems a bit shoddily executed. I think the Gala folks thought they could just toss out a basic framework and it would work, without the need to flesh it out or spend much effort maintaining it.

I won Don't Starve, ergo not shitty!
Non-regenerating points and user-set entry fee means they have way better odds than the average public SG giveaways.
They really need to work on the layout and interface, though.

The FAQ is so vague.
We can't enter games we own already. But it doesn't say anything else. So what if we win it and give it away? We can reenter another right? Since we don't own it.
The FAQ really needs more detail...
Also the point system is pants on head retarded.

Shitty it may be, but how I can resist more giveaways? (Not that I enter many here, but still, it's the idea.)
They don't want me. :( They say I don't have enough Steam games. Probably got wind that I didn't buy any games on this Steam sale. But I bought so many on the summer sale. Please forgive me. I'll be good.

I can't say I like their layout or numbers system, but maybe Steam Gifts has me spoiled with free P.

Overload the system with Metro 2033 lololol.
O_O.

It irks me how it gives the impression that they're responsible for the 'fantastic' and 'generous' giveaways, rather than it being the awesomeness of the users responsible for kindly donating, like the superb steamgifts community.

Why shitty? Maybe webpage is not as beautifull but the idea is quite good still unpolished. Their system is way better than contribution I must say. If you want to win there, you must give something. Other way than this you do not generate points (well you do up to 2500 max) and if you don't you almost cant join better game giveaways. The only thing that makes it fail is total freedom of how much points are need to enter (sick point prices made by givers). For example I can give The binding of Isaac and make it cost 500 000 points. If they make reasonable limits of max points for each game it would be almost perfect

Seriously, they didn't even change the basic structure.
