count me in, I thought from 282 entries, I'd get atleast 1 win >_<

Well, I'm used to it by now anyway. I can go for some time without seeing that darned cat. Working on 6 1/2 weeks now.

fingers crossed for some super thin chance to get something by re-roll, but atleast it was fun entering super awesome giveaways, showed that this site ain't near death :D

Yay for 10 years of space cat! Thanks to everyone who gave and congrats to all the winners!

Happy 10 years SteamGifts and its great community!
Unfortunately, I got 0 out of 161 entries right now. Maybe in 20th anniversary who knows :)

Entered 20 giveaways, won nothing. Stats page tells me that my probability for a win was 1.19% so I'm not exactly surprised. :D
One more congratulations to space cat day, cheers!
Comment has been collapsed.
I was at 27.47% chance to win yet I did not win any of the 10-year giveaways. Fine by me, but honestly surprising.
Comment has been collapsed.
Space Cat dropped by earlier in the day for me, so I guess at its event it was busy with other people.
But, hey, I got to see space cat in the day, so I am happy!
Cheers!
Edit: it was kind of eventful to see my GA with "ended 2 minutes ago" but no winners. Space Cat was busy roaming the world looking for dice!
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't see any SpaceCats today... Which is fair considering I entered only like 15 giveaways I was interested in :P.
Hope that people had their days filled with space cats, and Thank you to everyone who hosted a giveaway!
Here's to 10 more years!

Crazy that the charts said I had a 30%+ chance but not even a small game :(
Comment has been collapsed.
30% chance in the event? What GA did you enter? lol
Most of the ones I saw had entries in the thousands, even for recent bundled games.
Comment has been collapsed.
The event and others that day, I was just reading from my stats page that shows the graph. I was in almost all the event ones though but I know those are only a fraction of a percent, but but in so many adds up.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah ok that makes more sense. There weren't that many GAs in the event that gave those odds, that's why I was wondering.
Yeah I have won on days with ridiculous odds and completely missed on "sure wins" days. Stats remain just probabilities, right?
You've already won public GAs with incredible odds so i wouldn't worry too much
I'm sure your luck will flip soon :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I don't really care about the winning, that's why I spam the El Cheap-O giveaways but I haven't even been getting anything from those. The last thing I won was a hentai game that I mis-clicked and didn't feel like removing my entry, and it ends up it was giving away 500 copies and there were about 500 entrants lol.

just out of curiosity..
was there some kind of special anniversary space cat winning gif for event gas or just normal/patreon-custom ones?
Comment has been collapsed.
Found this place about 6 ½ years ago, just came here to offload some keys.
Never left.
This place is awesome. You are all awesome.

Evento fraudento demais, participei de mais de 100 sorteios, e nenhum foi selecionado...

Fraud? Only you participated and still have you lost? Can't the others win if you participate?
Amazing xD

Eu chamo isso de porcentagem amigo, da uma olhadinha em "probabilidade e estatísticas"

I love the 42 win to 0 (!!) sends ratio here and still have the audacity to complain about an event.

Se você morasse no Brasil, revisaria antes de falar isso, pois aqui o imposto é o dobro que vocês pagam nos jogos...
Comment has been collapsed.
1) You don't need to legimitate your leeching. Others from brasil also find ways to give back to the community.
2) I personally find it bad manners to post in an international forum not in english.
3) This site as so many awesome people that spend their time and money for giveaways and events and everyone that is not grateful for such a special community should just leave instead of just taking free games and ontop of it complain about it.
Maybe reflect on yourself a bit and try to be part of the community.

Não vou perder o meu tempo traduzindo para língua nenhuma, se quiser entender o que eu digito, estude ou use programas... E em relação a brasileiros postando keys neste site, são keys de outros sites que dão de graça (ou você conhece algum brasileiro que doa keys?! Se conhecer, prove...). E sanguessuga provavelmente deve ser você e seu país, já que vocês tem costume de roubar recursos do meu país :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope. There are people from Brazil on this site making giveaways with keys they ddin't get for free. If it was freebies, they would be a level 0 like all the leeches.
Comment has been collapsed.
Novamente volto a dizer que sanguessugas é você e seu país que rouba nossos recursos, e depois vem pagar de politicamente correto na internet, sendo que os impostos no Brasil são altos devido ao tanto de roubos de vocês, e para manter um país como mais rico da América do Sul, tem que cobrar impostos absurdos...
Comment has been collapsed.
lol of course someone like you would throw words like "politicamente correto" into a completely unrelated conversation.
Makes perfect sense. Did you vote for Bolsonaro too or you wouldn't push the cliché that far?
Never mind, I'm not interested. Have a nice life.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, ainda bem que você conhece os presidentes do Brasil, espero que deva também saber que nenhum presta, e que todos cobram um valor absurdo das coisas, por exemplo, gasolina que é retirada do próprio país, porém, com um preço absurdamente alto.

Well, tamo aqui amigo :o
Um Brasileiro que doa keys.
Anyway, have a nice day!

Ainda não muda o fato dos jogos serm caros e serem raros alguém querer disponibilizar uma key para um desconhecido...
Anyway, tenha um bom dia também!
Comment has been collapsed.
Isso é uma comunidade po, quanto mais vc doa, mais vc ganha, é uma troca. Honestamente, minha experiencia tem sido otima, e tenho dado e ganhado varios jogos de altissima qualidade. E inclusive joguei varios jogos q talvez nunca jogaria porque ganhei aqui. A ideia é outra, e o fato de estarmos em um país relativamente pobre nao muda as mecanicas.

Rude people never post in English when they are bitching or being rude. They're hoping nobody will notice.
But he expects you to use translators to understand him. Just like he expects you to make giveaways for him to win, but with good odds, dammit! ;)

Also the cherry on top with the racism. Classic case of report, move on, ignore and hope you will never encounter the person again I guess.

Em momento nenhum fui racista, só demostrei minha indignação e veio um monte de gente "tomar as dores"... Com uma rápida pesquisa pela internet, iram saber que de fato, os jogos no Brasil são cobrados quase que o dobro do valor que vocês pagam, e isso é basicamente estou passando um conhecimento para vocês, onde "saber" nunca é de menos...

lol dude. I speak 3 languages. English, French and Spanish. And I'm learning Portuguese because my gf is Portuguese, which is why I have been able to read your trash talk without the help of any translator. Why don't you follow your own advice and show your English up?

Since you worry so much about winning, try giving away some games, it will bring you joy in life
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah no space cat for me neither :(. "and won 5 fewer gifts than estimated since you first joined." but sg is the best :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm at 22 fewer than estimated. There is hope for you yet! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm at 49 fewer than estimated. But this means that Space Cat is preparing something special for me! Right?
Space Cat Birthday giveaways had a lot of entries, so not winning was a likely option :)

How appropriate a sg anniversary event ends with "fraud" claims and complaints about not winning. This is the real sg experience.
Comment has been collapsed.
That attitude significantly reduces at the level 1+ giveaways and seems to disappear entirely at the level 2+ giveaways
Comment has been collapsed.
Right? And let's not forget all the users with zero giveaways who dropped by to create giveaways for massive AAA games... because they didn't take 5 seconds to understand how the site worked and thought they were actually asking for games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Awesome event, unfortunately also pretty soulcrushing for me.
Managed to win a 1 in 9000 chance giveaway for Baldur's Gate 3, which was made by an account with 0 comments, 0 gifts sent or received, a private profile and that at least for the moment hasn't showed up in any capacity. My hopes aren't exactly high. :(
I knew when I entered that it was sketchy, but knowing that I'll probably never get this lucky again and it was all for nothing is...still extremely heartbreaking.
Comment has been collapsed.
I understand you perfectly. I am in a similar situation ... I have won Dark Souls 3 with more than 6000 participants (I have very good luck!) But ... Apparently the user is his first Gift in 6 years, he has a rather zero participation and has not entered the page since the creation of the giveaway. It gives me little hope, but hey, we'll wait a week to see ... (good luck turned to bad luck!)
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunately there seems to have been quite a lot of similar giveaways during the event - probably bots or people that didn't understand how steamgifts actually works. I really hope yours turns out to be legitimate! Only thing we can do for now is wait
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, there was also a Horizon Zero Dawn GA with someone that freshly registrated here. I saw a big influx of new accounts over the event (just looking at the participents). I always hope this is due to mouth advertisment and not some shady multiaccount thingy, but I can't shake the off the bad feeling after a few incidents.
Comment has been collapsed.
There were at least 10 of them. From users with 0 giveaways who had registered accounts years ago.
All for massive AAA games.
I actually entered all of them before seeing one who had "Thank you!" in the GA description and wising up. I looked at all the other 50P GAs I had entered and a pattern emerged.
None of these keys have been sent yet. Shockingly.
Comment has been collapsed.
I did it all wrong for all this years. Never knew you could just order gifts. ;D
I wonder if it would be useful to make a multiple choice test before you could use the site to make sure the person understand how the site works.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I noticed that as well... RDR2, BG3, Cyberpunk, Days Gone, and other AAA games mostly created by old, otherwise inactive accounts. It's a shame that some folks have nothing better to do than troll people at a birthday party...
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't believe they were willingly trolling. They saw "wishlist" and they actually believed they were asking for games, not offering them.
That says a lot about their state of mind, really.
Comment has been collapsed.
There were a few giveaways that set off my "do not enter" alarm. That particular one was one of the handful that did so. I really do hope you do end up getting your key, as that game looks amazing (the first two Baldur's Gate games, as well as Throne of Bhaal, were excellent).
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I really love the series as well which makes this even worse - as I mentioned above it seems there was a pretty big wave of fake giveaways, probably caused by an influx of new people because of the event that didn't know much about the site.
At this point I'm pretty sure it's a bogus GA, but I guess hope is always the last to die - thank you for the kind words :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry to hear that, man. I also joined it, even though it seemed insanely unprobable to win. I really hope you'll still get the key.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you! Yeah I was over the moon when I first got the notification, literally couldn't believe it as I'm generally not particularly lucky
But that changed pretty quickly unfortunately - turns out I really shouldn't have believed it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was wondering who won those. Sorry for you. With just over 1000 GAs entered, and thousands of entries on that fake GA, you beat incredible odds. Too bad it was for nothing.
Comment has been collapsed.
It had to be someone, right? lol
Gotta try to stay positive - at least I did win a 1 in 9000 chance giveaway, that was pretty cool even if it was pointless

Congratulations CG!
Came here via a Google search over 8 years ago, just to dump some excess keys. Yup, over 8 years ago, and I'm still here.
The site and the people just sucked me in and still see no reason to leave - people here are so friendly!
Thanks all for making this site what it is!

Hi everyone,
We did it! One decade of SteamGifts. It's a bit scary to realize 10 years has passed since the site first launched in June 2011, but at the same time it's exciting that we've been able to reach this milestone.
We're going to have a little event for the occasion that will run for the month of June. I spoke with our beloved Space Cat, and he sent me his wishlist of Steam games that he would like to see for his 10th cake day.
https://www.steamgifts.com/space-cat/wishlist
If you'd like to create a giveaway for Space Cat's 10th cake day, start by selecting a game from his wishlist. You can customize it with all of the typical restrictions, however, the giveaways will all end at the same time on July 1st. The giveaways will be marked on the site with a special cake icon to help identify them, and you can browse all of the giveaways you're able to enter for the event using the link below.
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?type=space-cat
On a more personal note, I want to thank everyone for being a part of the community and the journey so far. I certainly didn't anticipated the site would turn into such a large part of my life or that it would grow into what it has become today. I'm always impressed with the people here - the creativity users express in puzzles, trains and events, the hard work invested into the third-party tools and add-ons expanding the functionality of the site, the wealth of information and resources people have taken the time to organize and share, the life stories, accomplishments, and struggles people have opened up with over the years, and the friendships that have been formed. These are things that I never expected when starting the site, and they're the things that make me the most proud of the community.
When it comes to giveaways, nearly 8 million games have been received by users of SteamGifts throughout the past decade. It's an incredible number and I believe it's a testament to the generosity and kindness of the people here.
Before ending this post, I also want to give a special thanks to the support team that has volunteered their time to help manage the community. The site would simply not exist without their help. Thank you!
