I had stopped commenting some time back due to reasons, but I just have so many question....
Just how many GA have you created? Why so many? Why do they all end at the same time? Where are all these GAs coming from? And, just why?
I am having a hard time keeping up with them, and managing my points to enter the ones I want. It's quite awesome. Thanks a lot..!

Hey. I think it's about 250-300 giveaways. Reason why I made them all at once is honestly they just keep adding up and I could never find a day where I could make them. I know I could make like 2 or 3 every day or something like that, but to me that feels like adding something to my calendar and it turns into stress. I meant to do this originally during xmas or new year but I've been a little busy or procrastinating probably.

As for why they all end at the same time, I usually end my giveaways at the same time so that when people look at them they can maybe pick a few they really like and their chances are higher, basically as you're doing right now, I hope making them in one large group all ending at the same time helps with them ending up with people who have some interest in them, be it for the cards or whatever else.

I think most of these keys are actually from fanaticals mystery bundles, or other bundles.

I don't sell or trade keys, so I figured any extra I get I'd rather have someone nice from this community have it. Hopefully not a bot even tho I make level 0 giveaways, but I want to keep it in my mind that when I was young I couldn't buy games, even more so to give them away, so I would've never been a level 1, so I want level 0's to have a chance as well. Hope that answers some questions.

You're welcome and good luck! ^_^

Wow! That's a lot.
I understand your reason. I have a few games on humbles I haven't bothered creating GAs for. I will one day, but not today.

I am just guessing here but I am not very sure if it prevents people from entering GAs they are not interested in. I always enter only the ones I am interested in so it doesn't effect me, but I am pretty sure those who enter only for +1 don't really care regardless. In fact it probably makes it easier for them to win as there a little less entries per GA, I think.

I recently read a thread by someone here, and that made me realize how easy it is for people to cheat with level 0 GAs. I too had only created Level 0 GAs till now, but I am thinking of changing that. it's unfortunate, since genuine people might miss out on GAs but after reading that thread I noticed some of the winners from my GAs never activated their games, and one of them has even been banned from SG. All of these defaulters were either Level 0 or 1.
It's a tough choice, for the same reasons you stated. I too never had much games when I was a child. I often borrowed from friends and family. And there are still people like that, and they quite surely will be level 0. I wish I could add custom rules to a public GA, but sadly that's not possible.

I didn't win 😅, but thanks for your wishes. It's just nice to see someone give to others.
Have a nice day!

I know you're right about there being some scammers here and there, I've ran into a few myself, but as you mention as well, I'm just trying to target people who don't have the opportunity I have right now, as I once didn't have those opportunities either. If someone is going to take advantage of that to screw someone who already has nothing out of their prize and still feel nothing, I really can't help them you know, they might as well have it. xD

I have made some giveaways at level 1-6 depending on a game being something I don't run across often or a game I enjoyed a lot in my childhood. Rarely some region restrictions too if I'm not almost certain the key will work everywhere, but I haven't had many problems till now.

I guess you are right. It's like a tradeoff, that you learn to live with, I guess. Scammer will always find a way to scam. Restricting based on level might not be the best solution. Probably the best we can do is to report such accounts whenever we come across one.
Anyway, I appreciate what you are doing. Good luck.
