I gave away a game but I didn't get to level 1!

two days ago, I created a giveaway lasting 1 day... it ended yesterday at about 22:20. The game in question is Dracula's library (Now deleted from steam) and its value is $ 9.99 ... despite the giveaway had more than 600 entries, the winner confirmed that he had received the award and all... why didn't I get to level 1?

It was a free game once (marked by two asterisks). Free games do not give CV, so you can't level up with them

only paid games give level.
just buy a cheap game and you will get your level 1.
Yeah, we all being there, giving for profits.
And after a while, you start to give because you enjoy it, and than, you are level 10 :o

because they stop at level 1.
I stopped at lvl 1 for a while, and than i found a nice group, and than i was giving a lot.
And than i wanted more levels, and than i realized i was giving way more and receiveing, but you know what, its good.
It feels good :)
When people thank you for your giveaway, when people play your gifts.
I actually dont like to give shit games anymore, because i want to see people playing what i give.
I recommend you joining a group Prosac, its called Akatsuki.
You can only give nice games, and you need to play them within a month, if you dont play at least 20% of the game, you need to pay a game.
The group have no ratio, as long as you playing everything you receive, its good.

i write a suggestion once in a while to people who do only unrestricted giveaways and most gifters are really thankful for my advice, but you can't imagine how many low levels are offended by it, in my opinion greedy and stingy people who think they are entitled to recieve games without giving, had one recently, who registered 10 years ago and never gave one game, but yet had the cheek to question and blacklist me

thanks for your suggestion, but i already have a huge backlog, not much time on hand and mental health issues, where i'm not able to play games for most of the time

That guy that blacklisted you won nothing from it because you could anyway not enter his GAd because he don't done some and on the same time he kicked himself from your GAs with the blacklisting because he can't enter them anymore :-D

Double win for you in this case :-D

on the bright side, his blacklist of you did him more harm, as he doesn't make giveaways :D

When you type the name of game for creating the giveaway, if it has 2 asterisk beside the name, then it doesn't give any contribution.
Games like dracula's library are freely given away in huge amounts, so there is no reason to get points for free games like that.

Best thing to do is buy a Fanatical bundle for a game you like, and give away the rest.
Costs just a few $ and usually have some fun games you've not heard of, but have great value.
