Edit: This information is no longer correct, we have lowered the generation to five percent.

EDIT: Point System Now Live

If you check the top right, there's a number in brackets next to Logout, which represents your current points. At the moment, I sent everyone 100, and new users will start with 25. Now, how it works.

When a giveaway is created on the site, every single member gets 10% of that value in points. So, if I started a giveaway at this moment, for a $50 Steam game, everyone would now have an extra 5 points. When you enter a giveaway, you spend these points. If you enter for a game worth $20, you spend 20 points, and you'll see the number next to Logout drop by 20. If you decide to remove your entry while the giveaway is still open, those 20 points are returned. And of course, if you don't have the required number of points, you're unable to enter that giveaway.

At most, you can save up to 300 points. This way, people can't be inactive for months, and then return to thousands of points, entering everything.

Numbers are rounded up, so if someone creates a giveaway for a $1 game, 1/10 = 0.1 points, but that's rounded to 1, so it helps to contribute to everyone.

What do you guys think? Suggestions? I thought we'd try it out for a few days, and see how things are going. In short, this will allow people to choose which 10% of giveaways they would like to enter, giving them better odds for games they're interested in playing.

I think the people who give away a game should be awarded by
the amount of points the game is worth times their Percent of Games They successfully gave away.
So people could be encouraged to put up valid giveaways^^

Hi all.

I am new here and love the premise of the site but surely those giving away gifts should be recognised in some way with maybe "contributor" only give aways once every while?

Sounds more like something people should do with a private steam group or something, and use this site for the giveaways. People shouldn't be coming to this site expecting to get something for c reating giveaways (besides a thank you, and maybe a hug + basket of muffins), there's already enough self-entitlement floating around here.... plus giving-to-get is just aggravating!

Not that this is a bad idea though, I just think it shouldn't be down to the site to do because it might warp peoples attitudes.
