    You can set up a whitelist with only the members you want in it. It's not as simple as what you've suggested and it requires you to constantly maintain it.

    Rerolling giveaways until you get one of the specific members you want to give it to is about the only way afaik

    I don't think the admins/mods will let you do that, they'd just deny the reroll request.

    Yeah they'd probably get fed up with the constant reroll requests and ban you.

    Ah didn't know you could whitelist, or that rerolls weren't done automatically

    I doubt they'd ban you, they'd just deny the first request because it's not a valid reason for it. Although they can be a bit ban happy over there at times.

    Ah never knew about the whitelist. Id be blocking some members here who have won A LOT and given away nothing or very little comparison.

    You could always just use the Giveways/trades thread instead?

    Blocking people that've won and not given things/given much just doesn't sit right with me.
    You don't know their circumstances. You want to do that kind of thing, fair enough, set a level for your giveaway.
    Blacklisting people is just judgemental and a bit arsey.

    If you're going to do that kind of thing, let people know, so they can omit you from their giveaways too, see how the shoe feels on the other foot.

    As far as I know Steamgifts isn't just randomly awarding people who enter, those who are higher level or have more points on their account take priority, so those who give more; win more. Probably the reason why I've won everything I've actually entered here, as I've given out way more than I've entered.

    I might be missing the joke, but that's not exactly true.

    I may be completely wrong, sorry. But the points you earn from giving away games are spent when you enter a giveaway.

    You individually don't earn points from submitting a giveaway every one does.
    How do I receive or earn more points (P)?

    All users on the site are given an equal number of points, and you cannot do anything outside of waiting patiently to increase your number of points. The number of points being distributed to users is based on the number of giveaways being posted to the site, and you'll frequently see your points automatically rise throughout the day.

    I'm way off base then, I thought it worked completely differently.

    you're kind of right

    when giveaways in general are posted on the site the faster points are generated for everyone afaik

    Just pick level 1 or 2.

    But that sort of defeats the purpose, I share the games with boardsies (im level 5).

    I was just looking back through my giveaways and feedback and I saw that one of them is marked not received by user camplify from a month back as the code was wrong. The site never notified me, anyway the code is updated if you want to get it and mark it received, not sure who they are on boards.

    All keys sent through SteamGifts, if the winners could mark as received that would be great.

    Quick question since its been a while since I created a giveaway. Do the keys get sent to the winners automatically now, since I entered the key when creating the giveaway, or does that still have to be done manually by the creator?

    You still have to go to SteamGifts and click the sent button.
