i did a good deal of searching....there are MANY claims of them being legit and actualy delivering....however....

You must give them your steam username and password...... big no no in my book
Steam can BAN YOUR ACCOUNT if they find that you used this place as they are no authorized by steam to sell / give away product keys

There have been claims of the steams registered email suddenly getting an influx of spam mail after handing it over.....which means they most likely sold the users registered email address.
From what i am seeing as well, you need to pay them for a chance at winning. this would be how they make money. give away a $50 game they buy themselves from the $300 in bids they got kinda thing.

my advice would just be to stay away. like me for example, i have a TON of games i actually paid for in my steam account....i would seriously cry if it got banned....they payout just doesnt seem worth the risk to me.

Error: We require all registered users to have at least $100.00 worth of games associated with their Steam account. This is to prevent users from creating multiple Steam accounts for use on this site, which might result in cheating. Currently your account is valued at $10.00.

Oh well i cant give it a go. It seems legit but i agree with EPOC's statement

legit or not, its against valves terms of service. not worth getting possible banned over. i would seriously cry. and then rage out running down the street lighting all the other houses on fire and running over any small children and old people i come across with my truck....not really....ok really....or not.... i think i would relate the experience to probably being as fun as being a major drug addict and going through withdrawals.

It's legit.
