Hello all,
I've been watching giveaways for a while and I've seen several issues with them. I wanted a way to do truly random giveaways that were relatively safe from bots.
I've started development on a web based app called Web Giveaway. I hope to have it complete in a few weeks.
I'm still working through design but I'm getting along quite nicely.
Development can be followed here https://github.com/dean1012/webgiveawayvagrant
Details can be found here https://github.com/dean1012/webgiveaway
I hope when it is released someone uses it. But if not it was fun doing it anyways.
Any questions or comments let me know!
Edit: feel free to contact me on Steam with any comments / ideas you may have

I've been working on getting the Puppet configuration to be just right to support this application. I've just about got there and fixing to start coding the web app. The interface with Steam has already been completed so I don't expect the rest to be too complicated.
I'm glad to hear you will be using it. I hope you'll consider giving away games instead of just participating ;0 (after all, if everyone only participates, there won't be anything to win!)

I have about a dozen games to give away, but its not on steam gifts, just codes from bundlestars etc.
I buy a LOT of bundles and stuff so I end up with a lot of duplicates, so I'd be a giver, not a taker ;)

Alert me when someone's giving away Mac games.

This web application will be limited to Steam at first but is not limited by platform.
If people start using it (a big IF), I hope they will offer up Mac and Linux games in addition to Windows games. It's unlikely anyone will use it though unless I can get the word out once it launches. Everyone on the other site will not allow me to post about it. I wasn't sure if it would be allowed here.

Well I upvoted if that helps. Good luck.

The site is horrible on mobile. Literally unusable.
