Does Invite only giveaways increase your steamgifts level?

Open
Kurozzz

For instance if I hold an invite only giveaways then does those giveaways increase my steamgifts lvl or it will remain the same.

Also does the same applies to whitelist or being in a specific group?

As long as they have at least 5 entries when it's over, they do (of course, assuming their contributor value is not 0).

Got it, thank you for the details. I tried to search for the answer couple of times but could not find it anywhere, appreciate your help.

Actually, this info can be easily found in FAQ:

If a giveaway is invite only, region restricted, or limited to a whitelist or Steam group, it will only add contributor value if it receives 5 or more entries.

https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/t3RIy/the-perpetual-i-need-5-entries-for-a-giveaway-thread also exists for when you need at least 5 in order to increase your level, but most do so through a last resort for whitelist giveaway that have fewer than 5 entries

While discussion still open I want to clarify - if GА is group only and you don't get 5 entries - it still increases your Group Value Contibution . I know it's not exаctly whаt you аsked, but was worried about it recently аnd couldn't find information on it.

Аnother Question I'm not sure about myself - is if giving away 5 copies of the game and getting 5 entries would give you a full value for all 5 copies or only for 1(or 0?)🤔
Seems like it should require 5 entries per GA copy to prevent abuse, but it doesn't clarify

Oh yeah that is a tricky question, I am also curious about that, it might need a total of 25 entries maybe, need someone with experience to comment so we wait.

5 entries is the requirement regardless of the number of copies made in the giveaway.

Feels like there are ways for even a small group of 5 people to abuse it, but oh well, thank you for claryfying.

It can work both ways as a group giveaway of less than 5 entries will give you only group cv/ratio but zero cv in terms of your overall level so you can spend money on giveaways and get no increase in your overall level. For level 10 contributors, it makes no difference as they are already maxed out.
