Well, when you were registering you had to read this http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/91wob/faq-and-guidelines which explains everything in details

Read the FAQ for any information you need. But I'll summarize it for you.
Giveaways are actual games that people have bought on Steam as a gift and they then enter them here to be given away in a lottery style system. Every person who enters a giveaway has an equal chance of winning the game that was given. Once the giveaway is over, the gifter will email the activation key to the winner (the identity of the winner will be kept anonymous to everyone but the gifter until the gift is received). Once the winner receives the gift, they report that the gift was received.
As for points, the point cost of a game is the normal dollar cost of the game, up to 100 points max (so even if it's a $500 collection it will only be 100 points, at least that's what I've seen). When you enter, those points are lost to you unless you remove your entry in which case you get the points back. You get points every time a giveaway is created. Each time one is made, everybody gets 5% of the game's point cost as points. If someone makes a fake giveaway, and it is reported, then everyone in the giveaway will get their points back.
A few last things to keep in mind. First, don't be upset if it takes a while to get a win. Most people don't win their first game until after they enter about 300 giveaways. Second, always try to say thanks when you enter a giveaway, these people are giving away something that they paid for (usually) and are receiving nothing in return. Finally, always be considerate towards the mods of the site. They work their asses off keeping the site in order.
As I said before, read the FAQ for every detailed rule. And last but not least, welcome to the community.

Could someone explain in detail please?
What are giveaways?
What are entries?
If I go into sort of a game that costs $ 20, I will lose 20 points and win, in the end, 1. Is it?
How do I get more points?
Tks!
