Level 6 celebration giveaway

Why require level 8 when you have just reached 6 yourself, I couldn't figure that out. I don't pass the real_sent_cv * 0.2 rule by a little bit unfortunately.

Actually anyone level 2 and up can potentially pass, it's just that level 8 and up get to skip the ratio check.
(I just lowered the real sent cv amount, so you may be able to enter now)

Nope, still not making it through, but thank you :) If I understand correctly, the last rule means that the number of non-bundled games sent has to as big as 15% of the total unbundled CV? Or am i getting it wrong - my unbundled CV is 82$ out of 620+, so less than 15%, but it's only from a few GAs out of ~500 I've created so far.

Yep, it means that 15% of your total real CV has to have come from unbundled games. I try and improve the rules each time I do an sgtools giveaway to make it more fair for generous users, haven't quite perfected it yet though. My last version of the rules I think was actually somewhat better, but people kept saying it was too complex and they couldn't understand why they passed or not. :p

btw, Congrats on reaching 500 giveaways!

For some people that is the only way of gifting something, and still better then gifting nothing at all.

Well I can understand if they can only do region-restricted giveaways, that's why I didn't use any region based rules. But I don't understand how they could buy bundles but not unbundled games?

Bundles are usually alot cheaper and gives you several games (thus more to giveaway, and for most probably selfish yes, more cv.
There are people also that depend fully on sites like Tremorgames (like me) i am broke but lucky enough that site been good to me that i could atleast keep gifting some stuff and get myself something too, but it really depends on the country you live in to get good offers or not.
Having alot of games, having gifted stuff does not always equal having money, and that's something sometimes people forget.

I used to give more non bundled stuff too (even though small) by selling cards, till that got ruined by the whole authentication thing (that i only used on xmas sale and then celebrated when i could remove that annoying thing again).
Now with the new gifting restriction Valve made would even make things more complicated.

Not to mention that so many that don't even gift 1 thing (in my view better gift something. no matter what, is better then nothing at all), i wouldn't pass your requirements and i don't mind but just my 2 cents to it.
