The Giveaways Club Rules

                             The Giveaways Club Rules

 

  1. We are a friendly group for people who enjoy playing, gifting, and discovering new games together. Our main goal is fun, supported by common sense, decency, fairness, and honesty. There’s no strict gift-to-win ratio or CV requirement—just be kind, genuine, and share games others will enjoy. We value thoughtful, friendly members more than those chasing stats. This group is for people from all over the world, with all sorts of budgets. Lovely small games can be just as valuable as AAA titles. The admin team may warn or remove members who make the group less welcoming or act against common interest. The intention with which the group was created and the main one that remains valid is that you can be sure that your game, the one that has cost you so much effort and that you are giving away in a giveaway, reaches the best possible hands. ------

     

     

     

     

     

  2. RULES

    Giveaways shared with other groups or whitelists have no restrictions and won’t affect your standing in the group. However, giveaways that are exclusive to this group are subject to the following rules:
    1. Exclusive giveaways must be Full CV, not significantly region-locked, and must last at least 48 hours. Any keys that are tagged “ROW” (Rest of World) or similar for region restrictions are allowed. If you’d like to make a giveaway that is either region restricted or reduced CV, you may within the ⁠invite-only-giveaways channel in Discord.
    1. Be mindful of the balance between what you’ve won and what you’ve given back to the group.
    1. Members who are found to be taking advantage of others' generosity will receive a warning and must, within one week, create an exclusive full CV giveaway. During this time, they are not allowed to enter any giveaways and must withdraw from any they’ve already joined until their giveaway has been marked as received.
    ------ If there is something that you do not agree on, you can let us know ------

     

  3. FAQ

    How much do I have to give? This is assessed individually. You don't need a 1:1 in-group ratio, but 1:10 would be excessive; we recommend 1:2 combined with a healthy play rate to avoid problems. It's up to you to keep track and contribute accordingly. Remember, your value to the group isn’t just about giveaways. Being active, polite, and supportive also matters. What is considered good behaviour? Basic courtesy, if you have won a good game, you can do more than just a thank you, the donor will always appreciate that attitude. Do I have to join discord? Yes. Joining is mandatory to be able to keep up to date with all of the announcements and events. Participating in chat is welcome but not mandatory. What if I blacklist some group member? It is advisable not to, but if there is a good reason we would like to know. Entry Requirements Members must maintain at least a 0.35 Real CV Ratio (Real CV sent/Real CV won), SteamGifts level 3, and with all wins activated. These are the bare minimum requirements and do not guarantee entry as many other factors come into play to see if you’re a good fit for the group. ------

     

  4. Playing your giveaway wins This is not a group where playing the games that you win is required however giveaway hosts may mandate this. If a giveaway host would like to see you play their wins, they can tag the game as “PLAY REQUIRED” within the giveaway description. By default, the time limit is 2 months after the giveaway has been won and the giveaway winner must give the game an honest try before that point. The host is allowed to change the time limit (shorter or longer) along with additional requests such as beating a boss, getting a certain achievement, etc. Members must leave (or request a reroll) and may not join any additional “PLAY REQUIRED” giveaways if they have 2 play required games with the play requirements unsatisfied. ------ Regardless of if “PLAY REQUIRED” is indicated within the description, we like having members that enjoy their giveaway wins to the fullest extent. There is an “I play, bro” program for all giveaways within the group. To participate, meet one of the following requirements based on the game:
    • <15 hrs on HLTB: complete the main story.
    • 15+ hrs: play at least 15 hrs.
    • Multiplayer game will be deemed on a case-by-case basis.
    • No achievements? Screenshots are mandatory.
    Since there are so many different games with different mechanics, the final judgement on whether you “played, bro”, lies with Gus. Screenshots are always welcome. You can post your progress or completion on the Steam group here or within the discord channel ⁠i-play-bro . There is no deadline to participate, but it will only have greater benefits if you do it within the first two months. Playing eliminates the negative value of a win, or in other words, adds positive value to your internal group profile. We're working on a table where you can see that progress. ------

     

  5. Subjective Judgement Our judgment is based on many factors—play rate, giveaway history, group interaction, and more. We know not everyone can give expensive games, but everyone can be kind, play their wins, and participate. Your overall behavior matters more than any single moment. Don’t stress too much about entering GAs—we’ll let you know if anything needs adjusting.
