I wonder if that might change in the near future, given the development of Steams 'Trading'-feature.


Wow. That's very nice! Creating an account here and helping people out, thumbs up!
As you mention questions, I'd have one, or actually two ;)
Have you contacted Steam yet and tried to get an official statement?
Did you consider the new 'Trading' feature Steam provides (and maybe a following API) for safety benefits?

Thanks for the invite mate, been trying to get in for a while.

What does the (#P) mean next to each game?

You need to have points to enter a giveaway. Points are shown near your avatar on right-top of the screen.

I don't know how to earn points in other way than create and giveaway.

We get points if we create giveaways?

I'm gonna stay away from this.

We don't? So i don't know how to earn points then...

I think the login info is through Steam, not through Steamgifts. Try it, I'm fairly certain steamcommunity.com is a Valve owned site.

Thank you so much! And thank you for having enough faith in us to do something like this :) I've been hosting game giveaways on GOG lately and noticed that it's a lot of fun! This is so awesome.

How exactly does this site work and why does it require the login of our Steam accounts, instead of a separate account? Just being cautious.

About the points from the FAQ:

What's with these points?

The point system is designed to prevent users from entering for every single giveaway. This lowers the overall number of entries, and provides everyone with better odds of winning games they're interested in playing. New users start out with 25P. Every time anyone submits a game, every member of the site gets 10 percent of that gifts value (in USD) in points. For example, if a $50 gift is created, every user on the site receives 5 points. And, if a $20 gift is created, everyone would receive 2 points. These points can then be spent on entering giveaways, or creating invites for your friends.

50P - Generate an invite for a friend. This can only be activated once. Click here to visit the invites page. Please note, selling invites, or trading them for games is against the rules, and may result in your account being suspended.

1P = $1 - When entering a giveaway, 1P is equal to $1. If you're entering for a chance to win a game valued at $20, you'll spend 20 points. If at anytime you decide to remove your entry while the giveaway is open, those points will be returned.

The maximum number of points that can be banked is 300. This is to prevent users from stocking up on points while being away for long periods of time

I just created a giveaway, enter if you'd like to win this game:

Red Orchestra

It will begin in about a half'n hour, I'm not sure you can enter before that (or even see it).

thank you so much!!!

same here thanks for the invite
