Review Time
Level 5 account permanently banned because my husband and I share a computer and apparently just one of us controls both accounts on the site. He literally goes "alright entered mine, your turn", passed computer over. Guilty before innocent, told us if we keep complaining we'll just be marked as spam and we can try again in 4 years to attempt to join the site again but no guarantees. We never created any trouble on the website, just liked sharing games. I guess our friends will benefit more now than giving back to the community. I defended this site for 10 years and now I feel like everyone talking about how toxic it feels are correct. Bots and spammers don't get banned but REAL people do who just visited the site as a hobby as a married couple. The moderators are heartless and I wouldn't want to go back now.
I have been using this site for 10 years and over 100k giveaway entries. It has small issues here and there. There are not many changes, thankfully. It makes many userscripts to work - those scripts allow easier navigation or faster entry over Giveaway.Some rules are not good - and it's most community-driven site, so it's also dependent on who interacts with you and if you get any beef.
I've been using Steamgifts daily for over 5 years. I entered over 64,000 giveaways, won 219 Steam games, and gave away 368 games... This site is clearly not a scam (I say that in reaction to some negative comments I saw on Truspilot).You can click on any Steamgifts user's avatar to see their Steamgifts stats so it's easy to see that most users are actually winning games over time. And if some people win games very often, it's probably because they are also trying to win ultra crappy games that no one wants (to increase their number of games on Steam). Personally, I've never tried to win crappy games, and lately I've even become more selective in my choices than before.Winning Steam games is probably the most eye-catching feature on this site, but forum discussions are also a great asset of Steamgifts. First, the conversation system is very well done in my opinion (much more practical and readable than on many other forums elsewhere on the net). Also, on Steamgifts you can usually find discussions informing you about massive giveaways from other sites (Steam, GOG, Epic, etc.), or about the ongoing bundles (on Humble Bundle, Fanatical, etc.), and other various discussions mainly related to video games. You can read all these without even being a member of the site (everything is public).If you decide to register on Steamgifts:- Read the 2 documents in the Help sections (FAQ & Guidelines) to understand how this website works, and what you should and should not do as a user (= know and follow the rules).- Be respectful and calm in forum discussions (if you participate), those who behave badly often end up having a suspension or ban.- Avoid systematically saying “thank you” every time you enter a giveaway (unless you have something interesting to say in addition). Otherwise it pollutes the donors' message box for no good reason. On the other hand, remember to say thank you if you win a game (this, of course, after activating the game on your Steam account).
Worst moderators ever and if you delete your account you need to wait literaly 10 years for be allow to create a new one. You will be banned because you get a fake key and didn't acted. If you will be banned if you get a +18 game and put it in private on steam for not your friends see it. And so much more...
Mods are just some power-users and some are clearly abusing that power.Getting banned now for just having an opinion, not even being mean. Just banter and oh it's too much, banned.Then getting banned for "implied trading". I'm sorry what? Implying trading, how? I said there was a bundle I wanted 2 games but not the other 4. Hence I am trying to get a trade going?Abuse of power!
I was a member of steamgifts for almost 10 years, when round-about a year ago I decided to delete my account. Many reasons for that, not all worth mentioning here. But the main reason is that I now honestly consider this site a cesspit. Why ? Because amongst the bots, it's just full of ungratefulness, game hoarding profiles which consider games as just a number and not an experience. And honestly joining GA's is just a waste of time, it's much easier to trade or buy what you really want to play.. but oh right, majority of people there don't care about playing games. The discussion also shows what a bunch of cheapskates most users there are. It is mind-boggling to read. Seing the community for what it is just grossed me out, you constantly see people talk like games are worth nothing, they want each game for the price of a cup of coffee, otherwise it's not "worth it" to them. So don't join this site expecting to spread the joy of gaming. I've seen year-long members do that, and ofc most burned out and left when they realized what kind of environment they are in. To end this review, of course you can join the site if you don't care about the above mentioned, not everyone has to have the same view as me. Some might say "it's not that deep". Anyway these are my two cents and the opinion I will share with anyone asking me about the site. I won't tell anyone to not create an account there, but I will say that it is a cesspit, which sounds harsh, but it's the best way to describe it, imo.
I've been a part of the community for almost a decade with 1300+ games (listed value of $16,000 USD) given away over that time. Today I got a 2 week suspension with a threat of a ban because, according to their database, I hadn't activated two games that were won between January and March. No contact, no indication of an issue from my end, not even a notification in my email telling me anything. I just log in to discover a ranking moderator caught up and threw it all at once and then logged off a couple hours later for me to discover it that evening.All this said, I love the site. I had been gathering more Steam keys from repeat bundles than I had friends to give them to for years, so this was a great way for me to give them to MOSTLY legitimate players. I've won a large number of games as well, thanks to smaller groups I've been active with. Even met a few friends from all over the world thanks to the site.But as other reviewers have mentioned: bots and scammers get away with too much, some vile speech gets left unmoderated, and moderators (who are volunteer so I do give them SOME slack) do nothing but press buttons rather than actual due diligence and rarely answer anything at all when there's problems. One exclusion being they are pretty on top of deleting broken giveaways due to the all too commonplace problem of keys that get revoked or go "bad" for reasons I've never had satisfactorily explained to me.When my nonsense suspension is over, I'll be going back. But I have lost a lot of trust with its community and staff because this is far from the first time I've had to deal with issues that weren't anything on my end. Especially considering apparently I'm up for a ban the next time a moderator is in a bad mood. So if they are this unprofessional with their larger gifters, you can imagine they have no interest in helping the average user at all.
