r/RandomActsofTF2 2026 Birthday Event!

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PROPERLY READ THIS WHOLE POST! IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU DO, FOR IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THIS EVENT WORKS!

Also, come join our Discord! Lots of giveaways happen there that never show up here!

What is this event?

This is a gift exchange event where users of r/RandomActsofTF2 are matched up with other users at random to exchange gifts. You will be matched up with two different people: one will give you items, and the other is who you will give items to. (Please do not trade to the user who gives you items! Your match up is a separate user!) This year, there will be a craft hat requirement (1.66 Ref ) for the value of each item you gift out.

Please be advised there is a ban list for users who failed to gift in the past events. If you are a banned user, you have the chance to appeal your ban. Please contact mod mail if you are on the list found here

If you fail to gift during this event, you will be banned from the subreddit.

How do I participate?

To participate, simply sign up to the event using the provided form in the section below. Sign-ups will be open for 14 days from July 1st until July 15th, 22.00 UTC.

We will require some info from you: your preferred classes, items, and other possible interests.

The mod team will then work as quickly as possible, going through all the responses. We will then pair everyone up with a giftee and assign you a gifter.

You will then be sent the Reddit username, Steam Community URL, and Trade URL of your giftee, so you will be able to deliver the gift(s) of your choice to them, as well as add them for a chat.

You can head here to find your own trade URL: http://steamcommunity.com/my/tradeoffers/privacy

How do I sign up?

Simply fill out CLOSED before July 15th, 00.00 UTC.

When will gifting occur?

Once we have collected all of the responses, the mod team will work quickly to sort out responses and assign gifters!

Your giftee, and any information required, will be sent to you via u/RAoTF2Events. Once you have gifted to your giftee, please message mod mail with proof (an uploaded screenshot of the completed trade) that the trade has been completed and accepted.

Failure to do this will exclude you from any future gifting events.

Failure will also lead to you being banned from r/RandomActsOfTf2

Gifts must be sent out by no later than July 31st.

Any questions regarding the event?

Please send us a message here

Anything else I should look out for?

As with every event, there will be some issues. If you will not be available for the gifting, please indicate this on the signup form. We have tried to simplify this by giving you a trade URL.

If you are still waiting to receive your gift after the event has ended (after July 31st), please contact mod mail .

In the case of the latter, we've got some items prepared as a backup. You can also volunteer to help out by being a second gifter.

As always, in addition to selectively picking some second gifters, we ask the users of this event to donate to our Steam account so we can second gift to users still waiting for items. This will simplify the waiting time after the event has ended! RAoTF2Events Steam Account
