Let me get this straight... You want, maybe as you put it, $1 as donations so people could enter this raffle? You want $1 from everyone who wants to "win" this bundle you received for free? You want to $1 from people to make a "giveaway"?

Btw, usually giveaways are for free, and stuff... And since you "got" this for free, and you will still have your copy, why did you even mentione the $1 donation?

Everyone could pay, if they wanted, $1 for the Humble Bundle when is was "on". And even those who paid for it pirated the bundle...

So you want to make profit off a game that was "sold" for charity? Sounds like a dick move to me.

If you're going to be charging for your giveaway then it needs to go in the Trading Forum.

Isn't selling digital goods against the rules?

Very good point! Forgot all about that. So basically OP, if you're going to be charging money for this as a "raffle" idea then it'll have to be done outside of the 'temp.

Drawing contest? Donations are voluntary. If you "charge" donations for entry into a raffle it's against the rules. Like what TD said.

Art contest
Writing contest
Music Contest maybe

but youd need to give us a theme, and also which games you picked if you already redeemed it.

You can use the word "donation", but if you're being forced to pay, it sure isn't a donation.

Also, try making the "worst pun" contest. See who can make you facepalm the most!

It has not been redeemed yet you will receive a link that you go to and enter your email address and some other info and then you receive your very own full game link that only you will know
