Introduction


Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires commitment and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.

Group rules


  • You need to set and keep your Steam privacy settings for My profile and Game details public (example);
  • You will play all giveaways you win via this group within one month;
  • When creating a giveaway it is recommended to include a small group rule reminder in your giveaway, something like: "This is a Playing Appreciated giveaway, by joining you commit to playing this game within a month when won.".

More information and detailed rules please see the FAQ.

How to join


  1. Make sure you are not violating any SteamGifts rules;
  2. Comment one of the two options to enter the group in this discussion:
    • Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game before you start playing it and comment again when you finished playing it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well. The game needs to be played in online mode on your own Steam account.
    • Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group exclusive giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played by other group members within a month as soon as your membership request was approved. The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
  3. Press "Request To Join" on our group page;
  4. Wait for us to approve your request, we'll always reply on the comment you have made in this topic.

Helloo! I'm very interested in joining this group! Could I join by playing Psychonauts? I actually inteded to play it, but now that I know about this group I'm glad I didn't XD I could have wasted my opportunity to join. Also, is there a time limit to beat the game? ☺️

Hi Klamit, you are welcome to join by playing Psychonauts. Let me know once you beat it and enjoy!

And no, there is no time limit per se, but I normally come back and ask people who haven't finished their applications after ~6 months if they are still interested to join or not.

Hi winfryd, you are welcome to join, but please pick one of the 2 options and let me know which one (can't be Black Future 88 as that one already has playtime).
