IF you decide to do it, you should never receive it as a gift.
You should only get it as a trade!
If you don't know the difference you should find out. Ask.
This because if it's a trade they can't chargeback the money and leave with no game and no refund.
The gift they try to sell you might not be tradable, that means it is risky since it was bought recently. (or maybe with an unverified payment method?)
Edit: If you receive it in the trade window, it's much more likely to be fine -- you won't get banned for trades done within the trade window.
Let's say that i buy a game from Kinguin, i get buyer protection, i pay, then they send me an email with a link and when i click it someone adds me as a friend and gifts me a game.
Will i get bannend?
This is the way gifts are supposed to be traded.
Keep in mind if it is csgo then you can't put it in your inventory.
Don't use that site at all, read why here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/2yhlw4/key_resellers_and_what_they_mean_for_you/
There is a reason that name is censored here.
I am not the seller, i am the buyer.
furthermore, Steam trades like that usually are a SCAM. Don't fall for it.
But will you get bannend if you do fall for it?
Wrong. Please don't give incorrect information.
VAC bans for known cheat signatures active on the account when connecting to VAC secured servers.
You cannot get a VAC ban for gifting.

I am not planning on gifting anything to anybody, i am not a dirty socialist.
I want to know if i can get banned from buying a steam gift from sites like K!ngu!n and G2@, and if so then what are the odds?
