If you have spent any time online, you know the internet is full of fake "free game key" scams. So it is fair to ask: are giveaways like LootNova actually legit? Short answer — the good ones are, and here is how to tell them apart.

Red flags of a fake giveaway

Be cautious if a site asks for payment "to unlock" a free key, requires your account password, or promises AAA games with zero effort. Legit giveaways never need your password and never charge you.

How LootNova keeps it real

We use a secure verification step at verify.lootnova.com that links your Twitch, Discord and Steam via official OAuth — we never see or store your passwords. Every key comes from a legitimately purchased pool, funded by us and our developer partners.

Why verification matters

Requiring verification stops bots and duplicate accounts from draining the prize pool, which means real players actually win. It also lets us contact you if you win a prize that is delivered off-stream.
