You can get up to 30$ value when giving away bundled games. If you want to boost it further, you need to give away non-bundled games
I thought that there is a way to boost CV with bundled games after you boost it with some non-bundled games...but I'm not rly sure since last time I gave away bundled game after adding some non-bundled games my CV didn't got boosted

well my first 3-4 games were bundled, then i gave away close to 20 non-bundle and today i gave a bundled game at 50$ and i think i did not receive nothing.

It all depends on how many non-bundle games you've given away previously. Your total giveaway value is equal to your non-bundle games plus up to 20% of your nun-bundle games worth in bundled games. Example: If you've given away $100 in non-bundle games, you can only receive a total of $120 (100 + .2*100) in your giveaway value, regardless of how much you have in bundled games. Of course, if you've only given away say, $10, in bundled games, you only get $110.

At your current CV you would not see any immediate increase.
However, if you were to give away non bundled games in the future, you could unlock 20% of the value so for a $50 bundled game that's $10 that could be unlocked.
To unlock the $10, you'd have to give away another $50 worth of games, but non-bundled ones. This could be done with one game or with any number of non-bundle games.
Having given away many bundled games in the past, I'm basically at the point where every non-bundled game I give away I get a 20% "bonus" on my CV as I'm unlocking some with every non-bundled giveaway. It's not really a bonus but it's an easy way to think of it. Give away bundled games then give away non-bundled and you get that little bit extra CV over and above the price of the game on your non bundled GA's.

That's not at all how it works.
Let's say you've given away exactly $30 CV worth of bundled games. You have $30CV.
Now you give away a $50 CV bundled game. You have $30CV.
If you give away a $1 CV non-bundled game, you have $31.20 CV (30 + 1 + 20% of 1).
If, instead, you give away a $10 CV non-bundled game, you have $42 CV (30 + 10 + 20% of 10).
If, instead, you give away a $100 CV non-bundled game, you have $150 CV (30 + 100 + 20% of 100).
If, instead, you give away $200 CV worth of non-bundled games, you have $270 CV (30 + 200 + 20% of 200).
When you have given away $250 CV worth of non-bundled games, you have $320 CV, the total amount of games you've given away.
You don't get credited for 1/5 of a bundled game's cost.
Picture a checking account and a savings account. They both start at 0. The savings account is bundled CV, the checking account is non-bundled CV. The first $25 CV of bundled games goes into your checking account, no matter how much is in it already.
After that, all bundled CV is put into the savings account. Now, when you make a non-bundled deposit (give away a non-bundle game) that CV goes into your checking account. The bank (SteamGifts) then checks your deposit size and transfers additional CV from your savings account to your checking. It will transfer 1/5 of the deposit value, up to the amount in your savings. So, in short, you can get the full value from any bundled giveaway. You just have to giveaway 5x that amount in non-bundled games to get it. You still end up with all your CV.

Then Oops!
I didn't think you could unlock the full value of your bundle games. Still, I wasn't THAT far away in my own opinion, lol. That's the only bit I was wrong about and in practice I don't think many people actually will unlock it all. Some will although I'd imagine they're very much in the minority.
Aye, I was wrong though.

I suggest you read the formula posted previously in this very thread. Not only is it easy to "unlock the full value" of your bundled games, many people do so.

I understand it now but I still don't think many people would do that. Looking at your profile you might well be one of them though!
I'm sure that most people give away more bundle games, both in quantity and in terms of Steam Store price/value than they do non-bundled games. Afterall, The majority of games given away on the site seem to be bundle games. Giving away 5 times the value of non-bundled games vs. bundled games would, I think, be rare.

I get it now. Thanks guys for the help and good luck!!
