The name alone makes my NOPE meter go off the scale. Likely a scam site or at best a grey market seller. Definitely nothing legit. AVOID.

The site you mention is a known grey market, unlicensed shady key shop. Also AVOID like the plague.

If you're run by that other site, you're just another shady UNLICENSED grey market key shop selling keys from God knows where. AVOID.

Do you, or do you not, have an official license to sell the keys?

edit: Checked out your profile and the first thing I noticed was some kind of shady "Steam lottery" thing. Yeah, I think I've seen all I need to know.

What are you talking about ? You didn't even take a look a SteamDealz ...
SteamDealz is a SteamGame Lottery and I'm one of the staff members.

We are simply selling Steam License Keys which is 100% legal in the EU.

For your info : https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120703/11345519566/eu-court-says-yes-you-can-resell-your-software-even-if-software-company-says-you-cant.shtml

We are buying all our games from licensed resellers or directly from Steam !!!

Edit: Nice private profil ... seems legit.

"Lottery site" ... yeah, seems "legit" as you say. Only a fool would fall for this.

Oh wait, here are some posts from some people who already have tried it.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/2nrqeb/did_anybody_use_steamdealzcom_yet/

By the way, my profile is set to friends only, and I have over 400 pages of Steam Forum posts over years of use, so nice ad hominem. I'm not the one trying to sell something, and advertising on the forums to boot.

Now let's get down to actual facts again shall we?

1) Are you or are you not affiliated with ### (the known grey market website mentioned earlier in the thread)?

2) Do you, or do you not, possess a LICENSE to sell the keys you are "auctioning"?

I'm not advertising here. I'm simply trying to educate the public =)

1) We are not affiliated with them. We are only using their payment system , as they offer a excelent anti frau system , which is essential in our industry.

2) We don't need a licenese to sell these keys. As I told you the laws in the EU allow us to simply sell these keys without any license.

Ok, so you're saying the dude above who claims your site is "run by ***" is wrong then? Answer to question #1 is "sort of" then since you are associated with them if you're using their systems.

Answer to #2, obviously is NO, you do not possess a license to resell, and you claim you do not "need one" because of EU rulings blah blah...

However... the site is hosted in the USA, which makes your claim of "EU rulings" null. Your site is also only about 6 months old, the server domain expires in September 2015, and the owner of the site takes pains to hide his/her identity. Almost as if this "lottery site" was deliberately set up as a take the money and run scam. Not exactly the way a "legit" business behaves, is it?

So it's ok for you to use a service to mask your identity while supposedly doing business, yet you attack my use of a friends-only profile when I question your website's legitimacy. Hmmm.

Bottom line here, though, is the fact that you're running a "lottery" site - this isn't even a legit way of selling. Obviously shady. You very likely purchase indie bundles for next to nothing, or get free codes from other sources (shady or giveaways,etc.) and then use them as "lottery wins" to make it look like you're actually selling something of value. People are even reporting that this is the case, you only get a bunch of cheap games and duplicates you could get elsewhere for pennies.

Yep, pretty obvious what's going on at your site.

"Shinjiru is the leading dedicated servers and web hosting provider in Malaysia since 1998. "

Website is Malaysian origin, hosted in California, and you're trying to claim EU protection from selling unlicensed keys.

I think we're done here.

We are not run by G2A. We are simply using their playment solution {LINK REMOVED}.

Please put some more time in your research , because obviously you don't even know what you are talking about.

It's called a WHOIS Protection and it's working as intended.

Your post makes it quite obvious that you don't have much knowledge about hosting. But we are not hosted in the USA. We are using CloudFlare to protect our site , that's why it looks like we are from the US.
But in reality , you are from the US and CloudFlare has choosen the clossest data center to your physical location , to deliver the site in the fastes possible way.

It's nice how you completely ingnore all positive feedback from hundreds of different sources.

We are a steam lottery , so of course not every game can be a AAA game , just like you don't win 1 million at your local lottery every time you play.

Show me one site where you can get GTA V for 2$. There is none except for us.

And you are seriously comparing protecting realy private information with hiding a online game community profile ?

I don't know your agenda , but I somehow get the impression that you simply don't like our site , but I would ask you to please come up with some real evidenece to back up your claims. Otherwise you look quite silly.

This is what really stands out to me. How, pray tell, did you get your hands on a copy of GTA V for less than $2? Seems to me something isn't all quiet on the Western front.

Because we are a lottery. Every key you buy get's you a random steam game.

It could be GTA V , CS:GO , Cities Skyline , Arma 3 or some other cheaper not so well know game.
