After entering about 200 and never winning I pretty much gave up on this site

[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;33266156]After entering about 200 and never winning I pretty much gave up on this site[/QUOTE] Well technically you need to apply to 500-1000 to win one. [QUOTE=Artyom;33266172]Yet for some reason I still try.[/QUOTE] Proof. Dunno why you guys dumb me. If you have 500-1000 participants per giveaway then you have a 500-1000 chance to win. Thus, when you have applied to 500-1000 giveaways you should TECHNICALLY have won one giveaway.
[QUOTE=Artyom;33266172]Yet for some reason I still try.[/QUOTE] what did you win?
What's the catch?
[QUOTE=Fhenexx;33266657]What's the catch?[/QUOTE] You wont win
how does one get points on this thing? oh its an over time thing. every time someone posts a gift worth 20 dollars you get 1 point i think.
Its like the lottery.
[quote]Registered: 4 months ago Giveaways Entered: 485 Gifts Won: 3[/quote] Guess I'm lucky.
I won Sanctum the other day. That was a nice surprise.
[QUOTE=Lurklet;33266476]what did you win?[/QUOTE] A 5 dollar game called the Graveyard, you take 3 minutes to walk down a path just to sit down and hear music.
I entered a Sanctum raffle a few months back when this was in beta, forgot about it, checked my email and noticed I had a gift. I didnt trust the gift since I didnt know the person. I just let it sit. I happened to think about steam gifts a few days ago and decided to log back in. Noticed I had a gift. Then I'm all like "yes." Great story, huh?

[quote]Error: We require all registered users to have at least $50.00 worth of games associated with their Steam account. This is to prevent users from creating multiple Steam accounts for use on this site, which might result in cheating. Currently your account is valued at $19.98.[/quote] I already hate this site. The lack of games is why I wanted to try this.
[QUOTE=The freeman;33266711]You wont win[/QUOTE] Not like you have anything to lose. (Unless you put up gifts :v: )
I won a Far Cry copy shortly after registering. No luck since then, but I keep trying
How fast you generate those points?
[QUOTE=Careld;33268515]How fast you generate those points?[/QUOTE] As fast as people create giveaways.

I've won both Killing floor and Amnesia on this site.
Oh well,why should me enter,because i have VALVE COMPLETE PACK! And low disk space. MW3 is trash due to putting crap on computer,and then being too short.

Huh, somehow I always thought this site is a scam. Guess I should give it a try...
[QUOTE=rosthouse;33270390]Huh, somehow I always thought this site is a scam. Guess I should give it a try...[/QUOTE] The only scams are if the wrong person gets the gift or never get it in the first place, and that rarely happens.
I won on my first entry there.
