Anyone asking for invites here should know that it requires you to have a Steam account with at least $30 worth of games in it. :)
I've got that already.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I was just making people aware, in case they didn't know. I realize lots of us do have that much in games in Steam. :)

I would appreciate an invite, I do have over 30 dollars invested into my account and I want to give this site a whack.

I'd like an invite. The Steam Calculator is telling me my account is worth very slightly over $1200.

I just got invited by one of the mods of the website. Soon as I get some invites of my own, I'll drop a few. It's a strange website, though, I'm not entirely sure how it works.
If you go to the community page of your Steam browser and search steamgifts.com, you'll find the group and you can probably get an invite there, if you don't feel like waiting. That's what I did.

EDIT: I've read up on how the website works. It's really quite cool.

So, I finally got an explanation of what the site is/does from one of the admins. Since it isn't really posted anywhere around, I'll paste it here.

Don't enter for games you have
don't enter for anyone other than yourself
Don't use the site as a way around regional pricing
be active in the forum/chat
do NOT sell/trade invites
always thank submitters
make sure people YOU invite and people THEY invite etc follow these,
or you could all be banned
and submit games yourself (You will buy games to give away)

So, no free lunches. There's a public steam group you can join for information, the admin was courteous. If you want an invite, you can talk to them yourself instead of waiting around for one here.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Alright fellas, I took the inititive to email the guys responsible for the site, and they were kind enough to grant us a 100 use invite code, I'll reprint the entirety of the email.

Thanks for the e-mail! I actually noticed the Bay12 site in the traffic
logs the other day, and I've been following that post. It looks like an
amazing community over there. I talked with one of the moderators from
SteamGifts, who has been contacted by a few Bay12 users asking for
invites, and he had nothing but great things to say as well.

I'm not signed up on Bay12, but maybe you can do me a favor. I created an
invite code for the community, that's good for 100 activations. If you can
pass it along and post it in that thread, that would be awesome.

Invite code: bay12games

Cheers,
CG

Have at it, boys (and girls).

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

Well that's amazing. Today I just got an invite from one of the mods so I won't be using that code, but this is great news!

Nice folks, I see how this works now (Steam actually handles your password so they can't like, rob you if they weren't such nice dudes as they seem)

I'm curious how the points system works. I see you spend points to join raffles, but how do you get them? I see you get a point for every 10 dollar's worth you buy, but are there other ways?

Basically anytime anyone puts up a giveaway, everyone on the site gets 10% of that giveaway's value in points. So if I were to put up a $50 game, then you'd get 5 points.

And therefore, you can enter %10 of the giveaways on the site, forcing you to be selective in what you enter.
