Description

Key from Humble bundle.
The Humble does not mention regional lock. If the winner encounters a regional restriction when redeem, according to the steamgives.com rules, they must unconditionally give up.

If winner cannot be activated in your region, you must unconditionally agree to forfeit it.
Please do NOT enter if you DO NOT agree.

that is not what the rules say:

What happens if I create a giveaway and the winner is unable to activate the gift in their region?

If you setup the giveaway with the appropriate region restrictions, and the winner was outside of those regions due to inaccurate information they provided, then you can request a new winner for the giveaway. If the giveaway did not have the correct region restrictions assigned to it, then one of three options are available.

  1. You can acquire a replacement gift or key for the same game, which the winner is able to activate in their region.
  2. You can accept the giveaway as being "Not Received" by the winner.
  3. You can submit a ticket to have the giveaway deleted. In order for us to delete the giveaway, the winner will need to post a comment on the giveaway saying they agree to have it removed.

You are only entitled to an unconditional reroll if the winner marked their own region incorrectly.

What would you recommend for handling this type of situation? The HUMBLE doesn't mention any regional restrictions, and the winner is asking about activation issues. I cannot afford to purchase another key for this issue.

You may put a polite request in the description that if there is a problem with the key please allow you to delete the giveaway.
The winner can then choose to acquiesce to this request, or simply mark it as not recieved.

Operations described it well. The winner can mark it as not received and that's all, everyone moves on. Asking for deletions is common, but I'm personally strongly against the practice. People just do it for vanity, the GA creator loses the GA slot anyway, no matter if it was "not received" or deleted.

I don't think marking it as "not received" is the right approach. The winner has indeed "received" the key code; the problem isn't "not received," but rather that they can't active the game and are causing trouble for the creator. That's why I wrote "Unconditionally agree to give up" in the description field.

don't matter what you think actually... "Not received" or delete GA - that's it,.. there's no "give up", "just die already", "ultimate despair" etc. options for you to choose as the creator

I'll swap it with a friend abroad if it doesn't work for me; thanks for the opportunity.

Doesn't work like that.
All keys you win are for your personal use and to be activated on the account you entered with.

Okay, so give me a solution; if it doesn't work in my region, what do I do?

You let the giveaway creator it was region locked for you.
Then you agree to the giveaway being deleted as requested in the description, or mark it as not recieved.
