Auctions

Auctions are another funny way to play with your steam keys. And creating one you can even “monetize” ( by getting virtual silver coins ) ;-) Those coins can then be spent entering indiegala Giveaways section or on other various activities on IndieGala portal.

When you enter an auction, you are in competition with all the other users who entered. The highest bid wins!

Can I create an auction? How?

Of course! However, there is one important difference with IndieGala Giveaways section. You can only create an auction with games bought on IndieGala. In fact, in our auctions you will only find guaranteed games., that are worth 5 GalaSilver or more. This is to offer our users games worth “fighting” for!

By completing the auction creation form, the game’s value will be determined. If the game is valued 5 GalaSilver ( ic ) or more, the “Create Auction” button becomes clickable, and you will be able to create an auction!

What do I get for creating an auction?

On top of experience points (which are also attainable by making a giveaway), you will also gain a percentage of the final GalaSilver coins used to make the winning bid!

What do i need to enter an auction?

The same requisites to enter IndieGala Giveaways section ( no Steam account needed ). Plus, having sufficient coins to make a bid.

I’ve been outbid, have I lost my silver coins?

NO! Every time you make a bid, the value of that bid will be subtracted from the total amount of silver coins you own. Should you be outbid, the value of the bid you made will be returned to you immediately, and you will be able to keep fighting for the prize!
