Steam Gifts Profile Value

Open
RGameFire

Well I need some help, I do not know if this is a problem or a bug or something else but my steam gifts account value is 30$ when it suppose to be 60$ since I created 2 giveaways long time ago, each one of them cost 30$. So my question is why my account is not value at 60$?:)
And yes the lucky winners both received their cd keys and they confirmed.
The games where Mafia II and Sid Meier's Civilization V. Yes they was free long time ago but I saw many ppl giveaway free games

Were the games part of a bundle?

so if I create 100 separate giveaways with games that are from bundle or they was give it away for free someplace else it will not count at my account value?

It will. You will get 30$ + 20% of value of non-bundled games you have given.

They are bundled games. You can get only up to 30$ cv from bundle games. You need to create non bundle game giveaways after that.

same question I mentioned above. so I must create non-bundle games giveaways in order my account value to grow

Not completely true? I believe after the 30 dollars you only receive 10% of the value of the game. So if its a game that retails for 4.99 you would only get 49 cents credit. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE correct me if I am wrong.

No. 20% (not 10) will only add to your cv if you will giveaway non bundle games. So if you make like 6 bundle games after you got 30$ cv from only bundled games your cv will still be 30$

First of all, you're talking about your steamgifts account, secondly they were both available for free for a short time, hence they are considered as bundled, and third you should seriously read the FAQ

You should re-read the section called "I created and completed a giveaway and the winner has marked it as received, but my contributor value isn't rising. Is there something wrong?". It's one of the last paragraphs.

Make sure you also reached http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/Ihcl4 while reading, that has the real formula.
In short: you can get full CV for any amount of bundled games, given that you give away 4x as much value in non-bundled games.

Read the rules. Both games were give for free, so the count as bundle games. You get $30 CV for bundle games or a 20% if the total value of those games is more than that.

pretty interesting because i gave a few hitman sniper challenges away. they removed it from my account. so i do not have any codes (because I gave them away) and I did not get any credits. reason why i do not create any giveaways anymore.

Wasn't Hitman Sniper Challenge region locked?

well. I used a code (germany) and some friends from the UK and USA used them too. never heared that these codes had a region lock. since I did not hear anything from the winners I guess it must have worked for them too.

I've read once about some region restrictions, which would only allow to play this with a japanese IP, but you can safely ignore my post; A Google search just showed me a SG tread where you will find the answer to the question why your GA were deleted.

Go to Support and ask for more giveaway slots. Then in future, don't use exploited keys or betas.

they just gave them away (official page)...yesterday you saw probably 100 giveaways for "the ship" because you got it for free and some extra copies. sometimes they do one thing, then another.

Iirc it gets critical once you try to give away more than one copy of a free game...

no. he said he gave Mafia 2 and Civ. V away. They were both FREE on gmg a while ago. they were not bundled. you were able to choose 1 game per account. 2 accounts and you got both games. He even said that they were free.

Widely available free games are added to the bundle list. You should be happy, you clearly exploited it as you have both, despite a single account only getting you one. By all rights, Support could have deleted them and you would have no value.
