EnglishHow Often Is Free To Keep Updated and How Reliable Is Its Giveaway Tracking?
Updated
Free To Keep (freetokeep.gg) states that its listings are updated every 10 minutes, and the page backs that claim with running counters — 22 live offers, 1,438 offers tracked all time, and 161,113 claims all time. That combination makes it a reasonable first stop for checking which free-to-keep games are currently live, but the site is a tracker, not the source of truth: the offer itself always lives on Steam, Epic, GOG, Prime Gaming, or another store, and that store's page is what determines whether a claim actually works.
What the update claim actually covers
The "updated every 10 minutes" line describes the site's own refresh cycle for pulling offer data. In practice this means:
- New giveaways should appear in the list within roughly ten minutes of being picked up.
- End times and "Ending soon" ordering should stay close to current.
- Claim counters (like "88 of 100 claimed" on a limited key drop) move as other users claim.
It does not mean every store page is re-verified every ten minutes, and it does not guarantee a listing is still claimable at the moment you click. Limited-key offers in particular can sell out between refreshes.
Signals you can use to judge reliability
The page gives you several built-in ways to check an offer before trusting it:
| Signal | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Store label (Steam, Epic, GOG, Prime Gaming, Stove, Ubisoft) | Where the claim actually happens — go there to confirm |
| "Recently added" sort | How fresh the listing is |
| "Ending soon" sort | Which offers are closest to expiring |
| "Most claims" / "Most votes" | Which offers other users actually redeemed |
| Claim counters (e.g. "88 of 100 claimed") | Whether a limited drop still has keys left |
| "Coming Soon" section | Confirmed future giveaways with dates (e.g. Epic, Oct 1) |
| All-time totals (1,438 offers, 161,113 claims) | Track record of the site over time |
A listing with a store label, a recent add date, and movement in its claim counter is a stronger signal than one sitting at "0 claims" with no engagement.
How to verify an offer before you rely on it
- Find the game in the live list and note its store label.
- Check the sort — if it appears under "Ending soon," treat it as time-sensitive.
- Click through to the store page and confirm the "free to keep" or "100% off" status there.
- Claim on the store, not on the tracker. The tracker only points you to the offer.
- If it's a limited-key drop, check the claimed counter first — a nearly-full counter means act immediately or expect it to be gone.
Where the tracker is strong and where it isn't
Strong: aggregating across Steam, Epic, GOG, and Prime Gaming in one place, so you don't have to check four storefronts separately; flagging end dates and upcoming confirmed giveaways; showing community claim volume as a rough popularity signal.
Weaker: it cannot guarantee a specific offer is still live at the second you look, especially limited-key drops; prices and discounts shown in the "Historical Lows" and "Below $1" sections are separate from the free-to-keep list and change on their own schedule; and any offer's real terms (region limits, subscription requirements like Prime, account rules) are set by the store, not the tracker.
Bottom line
Treat Free To Keep as a fast, frequently refreshed index of free-to-keep offers, not as the authority on whether a claim will succeed. Use its store labels, sort options, and claim counters to prioritize, then confirm and claim on the actual store page. For time-sensitive or limited-key offers, check the counter and act quickly rather than assuming the listing will still be valid later.
