LOL. I think I've spent less than a half of that on steam games :P

Some of you people are so lucky lol. XD

Sooooo can I get banned on steam or not while using this service?

There's probably always a risk, specially with cdkeys. However, generally you just get the games removed if there's an issue.

It's been around for a long time and Valve's definitely aware of it.

Cursory glance on the 1st or 2nd page of their forums pulls up a thread where someone from the site has a chat log with one of the valve employees about reporting some scammers on Steamgifts (they try to impersonate game winners and trick the game gifter into gifting them the game) and the employee nods and says they'll look into the couple accounts the person reported.. whether that happens or not (and whether policy changes in the future to shut down sites like this - they're not the only giveaway site) is one thing but it's not an activity going on behind Steam's back, that's for sure.

Maybe later...

...Considering the site never sees any identifying information, um, no.

They don't really need identifying information if they have the user name and password. The identifying information can be found in your account.

You log in through an official Steam site, which also tells you that steamgifts doesn't see your account name/password.

They might have your username, but they never see your password. Log in is through Steam, and it works somewhat like Facebook Connect.

You're new to phishing scams then? I'm not saying it's definitely a scam. But at the very least it's a highly undesirable threat to account security.
Oh man, that has to be the worst example ever. Hell, I think I'd rather just hand my bank details directly to identity thieves than Facebook.

I'm not new to them, but the site we log in through is legit. Plus, steamgifts has a good rating on WOT (web of trust) too, which is also a plus for their reputation.

Well, I was referring to the sign in system. You log in on FB, and you can sign into other places without giving away your password (your data is another thing, but that's related to provider's ToS. Sign in through Google is another example. It's an OpenID service, provided by Steam, in this case.

I still think it's a risk. Not necessarily because of who is running it or their intentions, but because of the site's own security. Steam might be robust, but I'm not about to trust this third party with my account details, even if they don't directly handle them.
