Cloud Dosage July Giveaways Banner - Collage of Backbone Pro and Steam Deck OLED

We at Cloud Dosage love gaming on the go. Without a doubt, one of the best ways to game on the go is with the Steam Deck.

Not only does it allow you to play a massive collection of PC games wherever you are, it is also a great device for playing games from cloud gaming services like GeForce NOW (now via an official Steam Deck app!), Xbox Cloud Gaming and Boosteroid.

It’s a device we love here at Cloud Dosage. So, we are going to raffle a 512GB OLED Steam Deck away!

Plus!! To help advertise this giveaway, we’re running another contest on Gleam.io in which we are raffling away another one of our favorite devices – a Backbone Pro mobile controller! Click the Gleam.io link above for instructions on how to enter that contest – it takes just a minute of your time.

How To Enter the Steam Deck Giveaway

To enter our Steam Deck giveaway, simply rate, playlist and/or mark games as completed on the Cloud Dosage Cloud Games Catalog during the month of July. All you need to do is add a score from 1-10. Good or bad ratings – it doesn’t matter – we just want honest reviews.

To enter, you do need to have a clouddosage.com account and have your game and ratings data set to “public” – see below:
