i tried to create it but it's asking me to chose between key or gift type before creating. :c i don't want to seem dishonest,what do i do? is it alright to pick either? because i already stated in the optional description what it is..

pick gift - it doiesn't mean it has to be steam guift, just that you doesn't put key to the site - you can then email winner gift link or give it via steam chat. Just remember - game must still be steam redeemable. Giving link to DRM free, itch.io, gog etc is not allowed.

it won't work for anything beside steam key and humble gift links - it will just tell you "invalid key format" - so gift links for IndieGala, Groupees, IGS etc will not be allowed in key section.

Won't it? I'm pretty sure I've put a link in before and it worked... :/ EDIT: Nvm it was a humble gift link... :P Best option is to pick Steam gift then. :P

you should take key cause then you can put the link in the key field

bad idea, as it's more risky. If you give unredeemed gift link to the winner he cannot then claim that key was a duplicate :>

first of all - some gift links - for example IG ones will tell you who it was redeemed to. 2nd - it let you clearly indicate that it was not the case of you using the key by mistake but the user trying to scam you. And at the end - screencap sent link, screencap it being unused right before sending and screencap the fcker claiming it was "already claimed" and you get him permabanned :D:

yup - if you have humble bundle gift link you can put it in key field ;) If you have other gift link (for example from IndieGala) you can still give the game away, but in this case you will have to select gift option and send the link via email or steam chat. :>
