Win free games with your tickets

Giveaway rules

These apply to every giveaway on Gocdkeys. If a specific giveaway has something extra, such as a ticket cap, you'll find it on its own page.

US, Europe and UK only. For now, giveaways are only open to people living in the US, Europe or the UK: in other countries the prize versions and regions may not be compatible. If the winner is not from these areas, the prize will not be delivered.

No multiple accounts. Each person may only have one account. If we find someone using several, all linked accounts will be closed.

1. Entering is free. You can only enter with red tickets, and tickets are never sold: you earn them by using the site.
2. One entry per person per giveaway, but you can raise your stake: add more tickets any time while it's open. They leave your balance the moment you put them in.
3. Every ticket is one entry: the more tickets you put in, the better your chances. 10 tickets give you 10 times the chances of 1, and 100 give you a hundred times.
4. Per-person cap. A giveaway can set a maximum number of tickets per user. If it has one, it's shown on its page and it applies to your running total, not to each top-up.
5. Your odds drop as more people join. Your chance is your tickets divided by all the tickets in the giveaway, so every ticket someone else adds shaves a little off. Add more yourself and it goes up.
6. Minimum participants and tiers. Every giveaway needs a minimum number of participants to go ahead, and gives away more copies as more people join: each giveaway sets its own and shows them on its page, for example 40 participants (minimum) → 1 copy · 600 → 2 copies · 1.200 → 3 copies.
7. If the minimum isn't reached, you lose nothing. The giveaway is called off and every ticket you put in goes back to your balance.
8. Withdrawing costs 100 tickets. While a giveaway is open you can take your tickets out: we keep 100 as a withdrawal fee and return the rest straight away. If you have 100 or fewer in that giveaway, there's nothing to get back.
9. One prize per person. When several copies are up for grabs, nobody can win two.
10. Winners are public. Their username appears on the giveaway page and in the latest winners list, and we announce it on all our social channels. We never publish email addresses.
11. How prizes are delivered. The winner must get in touch through our contact page within 72 hours of the giveaway closing. From then on, we deliver the prize within 48 hours.
12. If the winner doesn't get in touch in time, we draw again. After 72 hours with no word from them, they lose the prize and we draw it again among the other participants, using the same system.
13. Ticket verification. Before handing over a prize, we check the actions the winner used to earn their tickets (social media, reviews, purchases, referrals and other missions). Tickets from actions that weren’t genuinely completed, were undone shortly afterwards (for example, unfollowing us) or were done with fake or automated accounts are cancelled. If the participant wouldn’t have won without those tickets, Gocdkeys may withhold the prize. If you win, we’ll ask for your usernames on the networks where you followed us to earn tickets (X, Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, Discord, etc.) and check that you really do follow us. If you don’t give them to us or you’re not following us, those tickets are cancelled and, if you needed them to win, the prize may be withheld.
14. No fake visits or sign-ups. Share tickets only count for real people. Visits or sign-ups that are automated, bought or made by you cancel any tickets earned that way.

You choose where they go. Each ticket is one entry in the giveaway you put it in: stacking them on one prize raises your odds there, while spreading them keeps you in the running for several.

Auction terms and conditions

These conditions apply to every Gocdkeys ticket auction. By bidding you confirm that you have read and accept them.

1. What they are. Auctions are a way of using Gocdkeys tickets to try to win a prize (for example, a gift card or a game). Each auction has a single prize, which goes to the user holding the highest bid when time runs out, once Gocdkeys has reviewed and confirmed it.
2. Who can take part. Registered users with a valid email address and a single account per person. The same residency conditions (USA, Europe and the UK) and the same ban on multiple accounts as in giveaways apply. Some auctions require a minimum level, shown on the auction itself. The first time a user bids in an auction they must tick the box "I have read and accept the auction rules"; without that acceptance the bid is not placed. Gocdkeys records the date and time of the acceptance.
3. Tickets. Bids are placed with tickets only. Tickets are not sold, have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for money. No purchase is required to take part.
4. Hold and return. While a user holds the highest bid, the tickets of that bid are reserved and cannot be used. If another user outbids them, the tickets of the bid return to their balance automatically; the bid fee is not refunded. Only the tickets of the winning bid are spent, and only once Gocdkeys confirms it.
5. Bid fee. Each bid costs a fixed fee of 10 tickets on top of the tickets you bid. The fee is charged when you bid and is not refunded: not if another user outbids you, not if you win, and not if your bid is voided for breaking these conditions. Raising your own bid counts as a new bid and costs another fee. To bid you need the amount you bid plus the fee in your balance. Fees are refunded only if Gocdkeys cancels the auction (see “Cancellation”).
6. End of the auction. Each auction shows when it ends. If someone bids in the final minutes, the end is moved later so that others can respond, up to the maximum shown on the auction itself.
7. One win every 7 days. So that prizes are shared, each person can win at most one auction every 7 days. While a user is leading an auction they cannot bid in another one, and a user who has won an auction cannot bid again until 7 days have passed.
8. Review and fraud. Before confirming the winner, Gocdkeys reviews the auction. If it detects multiple accounts, blocked accounts, automation or any other form of cheating, it may void that user's bid and return the reserved tickets (bid fees are not refunded). In that case the auction is not cancelled: it reopens for another 24 hours, with nobody in the lead, so that it can still have a winner. Gocdkeys notifies the users who had already bid, and the minimum bid becomes the highest valid bid from the other users plus the increment (or the starting bid if there is none). The same applies if the leading user had already won another auction in the last 7 days. An auction can be reopened at most 3 times; after that it is cancelled with no winner. Gocdkeys may also choose to cancel the auction directly. The accounts involved may be excluded from auctions and giveaways.
9. Ticket verification. Before handing over the prize, Gocdkeys checks the actions the winner used to earn the tickets they bid (social media, reviews, purchases, referrals and other missions). Tickets from actions that weren’t completed, were undone shortly afterwards (for example, unfollowing us on a social network) or were done with fake or automated accounts are cancelled. If the user couldn’t have placed the winning bid without those tickets, Gocdkeys may void their bid and withhold the prize. To do this, Gocdkeys will ask the winner for their usernames on the social networks where they followed Gocdkeys to earn tickets (X, Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, Discord, etc.) to confirm that they genuinely follow it. If the winner doesn’t provide them or isn’t following Gocdkeys on those networks, those tickets are cancelled and, if they were needed for the winning bid, Gocdkeys may cancel the bid and withhold the prize.
10. Contacting the winner, 48-hour deadline and prize delivery. When Gocdkeys confirms the winner, it sends them a notice ("you won") at their account email address and shows it on the auction page. Gocdkeys then writes to the winner at that same address to deliver the prize. The winner has 48 hours, counted from the "you won" notice, to reply to that message; the deadline (date and time) is shown in the notice and on the auction page, and Gocdkeys sends a reminder 24 hours before it expires. The winner can also write to us using the “Contact us to get my prize” button on the auction page. Users are responsible for keeping a valid email address on their account and for checking their mail, including the spam folder. If the winner does not reply within those 48 hours, they lose the right to claim the prize: the tickets of the winning bid are not returned, the auction is closed without delivery, and that auction still counts as won for the limit of one win every 7 days. Gocdkeys may offer that prize again in a new auction. Once the winner replies, Gocdkeys delivers the prize manually. The prize cannot be exchanged for money or for another product.
11. Cancellation. Gocdkeys may cancel an auction before confirming the winner because of an error in the prize or its set-up, a technical fault or signs of fraud. In that case all reserved tickets are returned, together with every bid fee charged in that auction, so nobody loses tickets.
12. Notices. Gocdkeys may email users about the auctions they take part in (outbid, about to end, reopened, won, 24 hours left to reply and receive the prize, cancelled). The "outbid", "few minutes left" and "auction reopened" notices can be turned off on the auction page or through the link included in each email.
