Thanks for creating this and the other 18+ GAs.

Maybe think about a min. level requirement for your public GAs, it would be sad to feed the autojoiners with your games.

One of my members and i catched in the last weeks 44 autojoiners.
The catched ones are/were 31x level 0-1 (16 perma suspended), 3x level 2, 3x level 3 (3 perma suspended), 3x level 4 (2 perma suspended), 2x level 5 (2 perma suspended) and 2x level 7 (2 perma suspended).

200 autojoiner tickets are still open.

Besides that got 15 multiaccounters and regifters catched from my tickets of the last few weeks.

You can check accounts/your winners with:

If someone have red marks there request a reroll and put the link(s) into the support ticket.

Yes, a few low level accounts are normal users, without a doubt, and it is sad that they get hit too when someone set a min. level for his public GAs but it isn't possible to avoid it when the extreme majority of the level 0 and 1 accounts are autojoiners, multiaccounters and accounts with unactivated wins.

Have a great week

Ps.: I forgot if i had sended you a message like this one before. If so, sorry.

Objectively you are correct that I should use a level requirement for my GAs, if I cared about what happens to my games.
But I don't.

I don't care who gets these games or how, or if they're ever going to play them or even redeem them.
Right now my "fun" from using Steamgifts is watching my Contributor Level grow. So I put in money and watch it grow. Everything else is minutiae.
As an amateur programmer proficient enough to write my own bots, I find SG's rejection of automation a bit asinine, but that's an entirely separate discussion.

I am glad you mentioned legitimate low level accounts. This is also a big consideration for me.
And having my GAs accessible to them is more important to me than keeping the "bad" accounts out.

Still, thank you for bringing this concrete data to my attention. The scale of abuse going on is bigger than I have imagined.
I might occasionally use the sgtools website.
