In any case - cryptogiveaways.org is a small joint project between myself and batesresearch. I am working for nothing.

you may also notice that the site will be 100% ad-free.

Those were all the warning signs. I was unable to understand the business model behind this project. That's what raised my suspicions.
Do all this work, maintain all this work, pay for server space, all for "nothing". No ads, no way or being compensated.
So it appeared to be the only way for this to be profitable, was a skimming scam.
No evil intended. It's just a project. 
So was ltcgear
Good luck with your project. In future, to be less suspicious though, do put up ads or some other cross promotion so it makes more sense for someone trying to understand your motives.
By the way, calling a project sounds like a "temporary venture". What happens with all the remaining coins when you decide to shut down the project?
Warning signs - lol. We are both in full-time employment, myself operating 5 separate UK Ltd businesses nothing related to crypto, crypto-currencies are a hobby but over the next few years I will aim to start crypto-based companies to get crypto more into the public domain.
One of the businesses I own (not UK Ltd) Is a web-hosting company and fully paid hardware and leases for the next 5 years so no need to pay for server space. I even offer crypto charities free hosting space how do I get compensated for that - I don't I do it for the good of the charities to help them.
If we ever for unforeseen reasons decide to shut-down the 'venture' all remaining coins will be donated back to the respective communities.
