Is Steamgifts rigged?

Open
rapturas

I've been a member now for 8 years. I haven't won any giveaways in 4 years even though I have entered into 32,526 give aways.

In the past 4 years I have won nothing, zero, zip!

This leads me to believe that something is wrong with SteamGifts. Maybe because I haven't given away any games in a long while? The number of entries per give away hasnt really changed over the past 6 years, and it's supposed to be random draws.

Anyone else experienced this? I see some accounts with ridiculously high win rates without giving anything away. Something smells fishy!!

That sure is pretty bad stats you have. You can see if you are unlucky or lucky in the stats section. Depending on which giveaways you entered it is either bad or just plain super bad. Sorry about that.

Look at it like this: sometimes it's better not to win than to win

I once entered a Baldur's Gate 3 giveaway with 9000+ entries - and won. Only to discover it was fake :|

I remember that. There seemed to be a bunch of new SG accounts that made awesome GAs for the SG anniversary just to be fake. I posted a thread about all of them in the SG support discussion boards cause I was worried that was going to happen. Unfortunately there really isn't anything that can be done as there's no way to tell if they will turn out to be false. It does suck it happened to you and others though :(

"Overall, you've been unlucky, and won 3 fewer gifts than estimated since you first joined", says the algorithm. Guess that's alright according to the law of averages.

But I mostly joined to gift spare keys anyway.
