What are levels, and how can I increase my level?

Levels range from 0-10, with level 0 being the default after registration, and level 10 being the highest level attainable. Levels represent a user's contributions to the community. At their core, they are calculated based on a user's contributor value. When a user creates a giveaway that's received by the winner, their contributor value and level increases. This allows the user to access additional giveaways that are restricted to higher levels. If you mouseover your level in the navigation bar, or the level on your user profile, you'll see a tooltip with the level rounded to 2 decimal places. This will give you a better idea of small increments in level, and when you're about to level up.

Levels increase in difficulty almost exponentially. Below is a summary of levels and their corresponding contributor values.
    Level 0: $0.00
    Level 1: $0.01 - $25
    Level 2: $25 - $50
    Level 3: $50 - $100
    Level 4: $100 - $250
    Level 5: $250 - $500
    Level 6: $500 - $1,000
    Level 7: $1,000 - $2,000
    Level 8: $2,000 - $3,000
    Level 9: $3,000 - $5,000
    Level 10: $5,000+

FAQ

What are "No Value", "Reduced Value", and "Full Value" giveaways? How do they affect my overall contributor value?

When creating a giveaway and selecting a game, you'll notice "No Value" games are marked with a double asterisk (**), and "Reduced Value" games with a single asterisk (*). If you hover over those icons, you'll see the effective date for the value adjustments. For example, if a game is marked with a single asterisk (*), and hovering the icon shows "Reduced value since January 4, 2018", this would mean giveaways created for that game on January 4, 2018 or later will receive reduced contributor value. Games typically receive no value or reduced value when they're featured in bundles, heavily discounted, or available for free in online promotions. Their values are adjusted this way to better represent their true value. Keep in mind, the asterisk icons are just for reference, and the value of a game can be backdated if we need to make retroactive changes.
Games fall into one of the below three categories.

    No Value:
    No contributor value when given away after the effective date.

    Reduced Value
    15% contributor value when given away after the effective date.

    Full Value
    100% contributor value when given away.

If you visit your profile, you can see a breakdown of your previous giveaways. If you hover over the "Gifts Sent" number on your profile, you'll see the number of gifts you have given away in each category.

For example, you give away three games. Game A is $10.00 and it has no value. Game B is $20.00, and it has reduced value. Game C is $50.00 on Steam, and it has full value. Once your giveaways have ended and the gifts have been received by their winners, you will see the updated values on your profile. In this case, you would see "Gifts Sent: 3 ($80.00)". This would show that you have successfully given away 3 gifts, and their current list price on Steam is $80.00 in total. If you hover over the number of gifts, you would see you have one "No Value" gift, one "Reduced Value", and one "Full Value". If you hover over the dollar value, you would see you have a contributor value of $53. It would be calculated as 0% of the gift with no value (0 x $10.00 = $0.00) + 15% of the gift with reduced value (0.15 x $20.00 = $3.00) + 100% of the gift with full value ($50.00).

Your 5k is not corrected for bundles or free games. Hover over that value with your mouse and it should show $658.62, which is the "real contribution value" that is used for levels.

Also, if you're not using ESGST, I strongly suggest stepping up to that. It'll make navigating SG a lot easier, and you can surface a bunch of this information easily. Whenever you look at your own profile (or anyone else's), you'll see contribution and ratios based upon all of the various stats. :)

Not to mention it makes doing things like creating GA trains, etc., a LOT easier.

Yes, bundled GAs have reduced value. Hover over your gifts sent value and you'll see real value ($658).

Games fall into one of the below three categories.
No Value:
No contributor value when given away after the effective date.
Reduced Value
15% contributor value when given away after the effective date.
*Full Value
100% contributor value when given away.

Games are given a value, giveaways of those games give you a record of that value.
The more value in games you giveaway, the higher level you get.

Some games get no value, due to being given away as promotions, and to block people from scamming the site.

To make it more precise:

Gift games that you not gotten for free or are absolute clear it's not CV farming.*

do the daily indiegala giveaway crap and gift them in the delete if doesn't work groups cause like half the keys from there are bad. they're very low cv but it adds up and people still want them as giveaways. other than that just wait for a bunlde that has something you want and giveaway the stuff you don't want

That's a bad advice. All indiegala giveaway crap ends in no-cv list so you will end up with nothing in the end (and probably in a bunch of blacklists on top of that).

^^^^ Yep, this.

Free stuff doesn't give you any CV. I mean, it may temporarily, but when the lists are updated, any CV granted for those GAs for free items given on or after the date they became free will be removed.
