Says you need to have 50$ worth of games on your steam account, else you can't take part. To prevent people from making accounts willy nilly and taking everything. o.o

Invite only. Oh well. At least it gave me an estimate of the value of my games. $970! Woohoo!

Sure, but that does not weaver the fact that you still have to have 50$ steam account. What is stopping me from creating 10x 50$ accounts and getting an invite for each? No sure way to stop fake and clone accounts, that's easy cop-up using fake account excuse by enforcing invite...

...seems you are actually already part of that site and are here to advertise it ;)
 
Is this site even legitimate? Won't logging via Steam mean you're giving away your username/password credentials? I am very suspicious of this site.

That's great, but I've read on GoG they have issues with fraudulent gifts, afaik steam's TOS can lock you account if you accept or try to load anything from such a source. Further more you might have same issue if accepting something that is not deemed for your region.

This is true, I've won stuff without issues from it's former site Steam Sales before their subsidiary site Steam Gifts launched, However when you enter the comps it does say that you enter the competitions at you own risk :P, and of recent it's been more open to different sponsors from different countries so yeah, do it at your own risk.
 
I wonder if gifts also count towards the minimum 50$ account value? Anyways nowadays I stay clear of sites like these. Any site that is not the original site is dodgy in my opinion. I do not like logging in from another website even if it is legitimate.

Especially proxies, every second learner in my school is using a proxy to access Facebook but I will rather be safe than sorry. "whistling:

I'm pretty sure receiving a Steam Gift of a game that isn't available in your region is OK in Steam. I think that's how some gamers get around the country regional checks for certain games.

not really, if I live in Australia and get myself some game that's not been rated there and it's a title that you are not suppose to have there, receiving it through gifting is not in-line with TOS and you could get account issues or game itself just wont work.
 
Some of it is silly. We can't get Civ City Rome in our region but can get other 2K published games? WTF is up with that.
