Complete guide to the SteamDrops ecosystem.
Registration Requirements
To keep the SteamDrops community safe and fair, all new accounts must meet specific requirements during registration. We verify these automatically using your Steam profile.
Profile Privacy
Your Steam profile must be completely Public. If your profile or Game Details are set to "Private" or "Friends Only", our system cannot verify your eligibility to join.
Minimum Account Value
To deter bot accounts and abuse, your Steam Library must meet a minimum required value (determined privately based on internal metrics and safeguards).
- Eligible Games: Only base games that exist and are active on Steam count towards this value.
- Excluded Items: DLCs (Downloadable Content), free-to-play games, and games that have been unlisted from the Steam store do not count towards your library value.
- Calculation: The value is calculated using the standard Store Price. If a game has ever been discounted by 70% or more (historical low is less than 30% of Store Price), then the reduced game value will be counted, otherwise full game value will be counted for the game.
Points System
Our economy runs on points, which you earn passively and use to enter giveaways.
You do not need to be online constantly. Points accumulate while you are away. When you return to the site, all the points you missed (up to your cap) are awarded instantly.
Max Points Cap
There is a limit to how many points you can hold at once. This encourages active participation.
Creating Giveaways
Share the fun by creating giveaways! Creating a giveaway costs points equal to the Store Price of the game.
- Cost: Full Store Price × Number of Copies.
- Contribution: The value of the game counts towards your Sent Value, which increases your Level.
- Regions: You can restrict giveaways to specific regions if your keys are region-locked.
Game Value Calculation
To prevent abuse with cheap bundle games, we use a "Reduced Value" system:
Example:
- Game A: Store Price $20. Historical Low $10 (50% off). Counts as $20.
- Game B: Store Price $20. Historical Low $4 (80% off). Counts as $4.
Entering & Winning
Found a game you want? Enter the giveaway using your points.
- Entry Cost: Equal to the game's Store Price divided by the number of copies.
- Selection: Winners are chosen randomly by the system when the timer ends.
- Minimum Entries: If a giveaway ends with fewer than 5 entries, it is automatically cancelled and all entrants receive a full refund.
- Keys & Feedback: Won keys appear on your My Gifts page. You have 7 days to reveal them — unrevealed keys are rerolled to another entrant. Once revealed, you must mark the key as Working or Broken before using any other site feature.
Levels & Slots
Your Level represents your reputation as a gifter. It is based on the total dollar value of games you have given away (Sent Value).

Giveaway Slots
Slots determine how many giveaways you can run simultaneously. You start with 5 Base Slots.
You can earn more slots by being a good gifter:
- Bonus: +1 Slot for every 5 successful giveaways (marked "Received" by winners).
- Penalty: -1 Slot for each "Problematic" giveaway (marked "Not Received").
- Formula:
Slots = 5 + (Successful / 5) - Problematic
