Point regeneration

Open

Hi. What is the point regeneration rate? Sometimes it seems to take much longer than others. Also, do your points fully refill when you receive feedback from a giveaway? Thanks in advance.

When a giveaway is created the community gets a small percentage of the points that giveaway is worth, if I remember right.
So more giveaways = more points to spend. When new bundles air you usually get lots of new points to spend because everyone creates new giveaways.

Your points are not affected by your own giveaways.

I've read it's 5% of the point value of the giveaway, rounded up (ceiling function, I believe).

Does anyone know how often the points are tabulated/activated? Is it regular, like every 20 minutes?

What Landyra said, so you will get lots of points the first friday of each month (Humble Monthly) and on most tuesdays (Humble Bundle), especially when the games are expensive.

While I´m at it, is there a set amount of money (in giveaways created) that you need to meet to increase your contributor level? If so, how much is it?

You can find a thread that lists the real CV for each level.
Or use sgt to check for yourself: http://www.sgtools.info/sent/jhr76/oldestfirst

Also, read the FAQ and guidelines, they have answers to many questions.
