You miss most giveaways on potato day.
On potato day god created Steamgifts and in honor of that on potato day over 9000 AAA giveaways spawn.

For giveaways, I think it was Tuesdays, as there were Humble gaming bundles in the past. But I am not sure this is true anymore.

I opened the thread specifically to vote for Potato Day.
Potato Day is the best day for everything on SG. GAs, trains, threads, freebies, potatoes. Eve. ry. thing.

Personally I think it’s pretty quick to just check once a day, I think no matter what if you only log on once a week, you’re likely to miss out.

Hahaha, my strategy is I usually pop in for a quick minute a few times a day to check my WL GAs and the newest discussion topics, maybe avoiding the main GA page will help? :)

I have no life, so I like to check the site each hour of every day while I am awake. There is a new page in the stats here that shows how many users are on the site. There is a chart for days of the week and also hours of the day. You can select and drag to highlight a part of the chart to zoom in on that area. I believe it is shown in UTC time. It looks like the site as the most users active on Monday or Tuesday and then slowly drops throughout the week with the least number of users on Saturday. Users are most active from 14 to 21 UTC time and least active from 1 to 8 UTC time.
It will take some time to load all the stats, but then you should be able to click through all the different stats pages on the left side and it should load them quick.
Edit: This is just telling you how many active users are on the site. This does not mean that the users who contribute the most to giveaways or the discussions are active at that time.

That stats page also shows how many users connected on the previous day from each country. It looks like Russia has the most users, followed by USA, Brazil, Poland, Ukraine, Germany, Spain, Taiwan...

SteamGifts is my browser homepage :)
Also, you said that this is the only site you use to get gaming news. I feel like most of the threads here are going to be about bundles, community events, or just random stuff created by the community. I don't think there is lot of gaming news posted here. So if you really want to keep up on the latest gaming news, you are probably going to miss out the majority of it if you only check this site. I don't keep up on gaming news, so I'm not sure what a good site would be.

The best day to use steamgifts is the day that ends in "y"!

Pretty sure first Tuesday is Humble Monthly drop day. I'd go with that.

If your concern is missing news, I'd suggest bluesnews.com. You can quickly scan if there is anything of interest to you.
If you want news about bundles, check ITAD or gg.deals.

Monday, of course. It's the beginning of the working week, so logging in and seeing opportunities to win (or even some wins!) should brighten up the mood at least a little bit.

Christmas eve is statistically the best day to be on SG. Lots and lots and lots of GAs.
Oh sorry. You meant best day in the week. Nvm ;)
Saturday seems to be unpopular for some reason.

Being really successful on SG requires to sacrifice the blood of a chicken to Baron Samedi. So I'd go for Friday night.

Once a month, when Humble Bundle launches, Tuesday is the best day. Then it's the weekend after the HB launch (or after another good bundle is launched). Otherwise it's either Saturday or Sunday. IMO most important though are not days but hours - most of the flash GAs with very high odds seem to happen between midnight and 3 AM GMT. And certainly December is the best month.

You started working here on a Friday. 🍟 Happy Cakeday!
