It's a lot easier with only bundle games than most people think. Level 6+ is where that 15% rule starts to get problematic. Otherwise, just exploiting the IndieGala happy hours is a relatively cheap way to level up.

But happy hour only works when you have bought the bundle before yoursel right? Which nearly never happens for me :p

Correct.
Just keep an eye out on the Deals thread, calculate the real CV, and if it is over 4.50 (and it is not a Monday bundle), then buy it in the first 24 hours, and wait. When the HH comes, you get 3+1 copies for each new purchase. So with two purchases you can get 5 copies of each game, which is the ideal number due to the CV value drop over 5 copies rule. With this method, a pack costs about 100-150 cents, which is insane CV/dollar value. And the reason why so many IndieGala games are always given away.

Why would you skip it if it is a Monday bundle? And to think I've been waiting until Happy Hour to buy my first set.
EDIT: Examining the current Monday bundle shows that there are no tiers. Is this a regular thing? Are there no Happy Hours on Monday bundles, as a result?
I was reading Indiegala's support article on this and it's not particularly clear. http://support.indiegala.com/customer/portal/articles/1761110-how-does-happy-hour-work-
When they referring to buying it during Happy Hour during (or after) the first week, are they assuming that you have already purchased a copy? Could one simply buy it twice during Happy Hour to get 1+1 copy from the first purchase and 3+1 copies from the second, for a total of 6 copies?

Monday bundles never have a happy hour, so those are best purchased if you actually want something from them.
And yes, happy hour bonuses are based on when you bought the first copy. If you bought the bundle for the first time during HH, you get two copies (the purchased one and a bonus).
If on the first week you bought one (when there are no happy hours), then if you buy it again during HH, you get three copies in the HH purchase (purchased and two bonuses).
And if you bought it on the first day, when the bundle was new, and buy another copy during HH, you get four bundles (the purchased one and three bonuses).

It's too expensive for me this time XD
Maybe next time but I really don't know when that will ever happen.

My ratio decided to kill itself during Christmas. This is what happens when people are too generous. Oh well, life goes on. In due time I will be able to raise it to proper glory once again. Can anyone remind me how I bump a topic? I've seem to have forgotten.

I hope this will serve as a detailed tutorial!

Hey guys, I'm just feeling like getting too much from SG recently especially when entering more private/group/high level public GA's. So what I am thinking is that my won CV might get ugly if I continue doing so without giving. I used to have over 10:1 sent/won CV but now it has dropped down to ~8.78 and probably still dropping!
The reason behind this I think, once again, might be I'm entering too many low-entry giveaways lately. Especially when reaching level 7, I get much more picky on the requirements to enter, for example lv 6/7 GA's, private group GA's or so, and simply spending almost all my points on entering these. Regardless of the wins are bundled or not, if one can win like 3 games in a day, it could really pile up their won CV real quick.
Time to make some changes! But needless to say, it's a long journey. Today I just decided why not spend a couple bucks to get codes for games that may have been sent here over and over by lots of people - I mean those things are probably set with low level public GA's which means that if you guys really want to win one it's gotta be freakin' hard! Since I've won a lot from GA's with higher winning chance, I give back with GA's with hopefully higher winning chance. It's just a start and hence there are only cheap games today. And I'm not entirely sure when I'm going to make the next move.
That's right. Luckily you got me who've just decided to make some of those with a much higher level so you'll get easier wins hopefully. Oh and I almost forgot, these are of course invite-only so they won't show up on SG homepage, hopefully reducing some entries if that helps anything.
So there you go, cheap bundled junks right here - If you are level 5 or above you can enter the first one, and level 7 or above to enter both.

One more thing I also need to mention - be cool and don't have non-activated wins or multiple wins on same game. I'm just too lazy to make sgtools this time, but I will check the winner! It will cause nothing but delays in sending gifts!
And last but not least - don't forget to bump for cheap bundled junks, it will really help everyone here a lot!
