Game disappeared from won list?

Open
phoenix192

So I won a game earlier this week - Teddy Floppy Ear - Kayaking. Like any won giveaway, I activated it as soon as possible and marked it as received so the creator could get his magic SG level points as soon as possible.

BUT THEN IT DISAPPEARED.

The giveaway completely disappeared. It doesn't show up on my won list anymore, it doesn't show up on my profile under games won.....what the heck is happening, guys? Should I be scared?

You can even see that I have the game in my library here

Shhhhhh just let it happen
You're going nuts. I can see the game in your won list.
You probably never won that game, and you're just April Foolsing us (seriously though this isn't true)
Thanks hope to win it wthog ^_^

Could it be that the user regifted the game and the mod deleted it?

I have no idea - I can't even check because the giveaway is gone so I can't see who it was, lol. That's a good thought though

SteamGifts is obviously a fake site. All the giveaways here are fake and even if you managed to sucessfully activate a key, it's still fake. You didn't know?

FAQ:

I think I spotted a fake giveaway, what should I do?

We typically allow all giveaways to run their course without judgement, and allow the giveaway creator a fair chance to prove themselves and to come through with the gift in the end. An exception is when the giveaway creator enters a description that clearly states the giveaway is fake, or if the description illustrates a lack of understanding of how the giveaway system works. Please refrain from posting any comments accusing the giveaway creator of posting a fake giveaway, and only create a support ticket if the giveaway is fake beyond a reasonable doubt.

Not sure if Khalaq is taking this joke to the next level or just clueless.

When have you ever known me to be clueless? I've got so many clues, I hand them out to others for free. D

Seriously, though, enjoy your game. You are not the current target of the Banhammer.

Apart from giveaway being deleted (which is the case here), it's also possible that creator asked for reroll (and it was granted). That can happen even if you mark game as received, but still has to be accepted by staff.

Not to make you jealous, but I'm $60 less of a leecher due to a giveaway getting removed. That's like winning a jackpot without the government knowing about it so that you don't have to pay any tax.
