Hi there I got a game in the St. Patricks day hat mystery box and i already have it. i have not downloaded it yet, can i gift it to a friend? thanks

You can contact support and ask them to convert it into a gift code.

When they give you the gift code, you could contact zeogold and donate the key so that someone who wants the game can have it :)

A quick scan of the sales thread shows this has been suggested a few times:

Hope this helps

Do you have the first copy on GOG or elsewhere?

If on GOG (so you now have a GOG copy in your Library and a gift code):
Per the sale rules, this should not happen. If you have every title currently in the hat pool, you should get a warning you'll be buying a gift. If you don't have every title currently in the hat pool (keep in mind that some games are present in the hat pool in limited quantities and might or might not be restocked as the sale continues), you should get a random game you don't have. You can contact support for a refund (consider getting store credit) -- this will void the code, or give the code to a friend without involving support (give them the alphanumerical sequence and tell to input it at this link).

If elsewhere (so you now have a copy elsewhere and a copy in your GOG Library):
Contact support and request for it to be converted to a gift code. Keep in mind this is technically ohexploitable, so you shouldn't count on them continuing to offer conversions if you buy in bulk or something.

It is a game of the year edition of a game i already have. they areboth on GOG. can I turn this into a gift?

You should still be able to. Well staff will have to do it for you. The support ticket route is how you need to do it.

Just make sure you state that you already have the game. I won;t mention if it's a different edition.

Hope this helps
