Created giveaway, user received gift and I didn't receive CV

Closed

So basically, I had $30 CV before I hosted the Iesabel giveaway. I gave the steam gift to the user and he says he received the game, and checked the box that says game received. About an hour after this I check my profile and i'm still on the same CV. Why isn't it getting added to my CV? I really wanted that for a giveaway I wanted to enter. Can anyone help?

EDIT: I seem to understand now, you can't get more than $30 CV with 'Bundled games'

Read the FAQ. It's (I'm guessing) a bundle game.

Well it had an * next to it, but the gift I gave was a Steam gift not a bundle game

It doesn't matter if it was a gift or key, it still counts as a bundle game because SG doesn't have a way of tracking if it was a bundle key or gift.

You ignored the bit on the giveaway page that describes what the * means. Reading is helpful.

But doesn't it say something about 20% so shouldn't I get at least SOME CV?

Yes, but only if you give away non-bundle games.

Uh, NO. You didn't read it properly.

You get 20% of your non bundle value as your maximum from bundle games. The first $25 of bundle games are counted as non bundle value. 20% of that adds $5, meaning a cap of $30 from bundled titles.

If the game you select to give away has an * next to it, then you won't get CV for it after you reach $30.00.

Oh so I won't get anything after $30. That explains a lot. Thanks for your help, next time I'll keep Steam games I bought with my own money for my self instead of giving it to others....

Just check if there is * next to a game you wish to give away.

And imagine if all the people who make giveaways that you enter felt the same. Clearly they give for something other than self profit.

Actually you can but you have to give away enough non-bundled games as well.

You can't get more than $30 CV unless you do giveaways for non-bundled games as well. After the first $30 it works at a ratio of 5-to-1 (or 20%), meaning that in order to get full CV credit for a $10 bundle game you must give away $50 of non-bundled games. You can see the list of bundle games here. They also show up in the giveaway creation list with an asterisk (*) next to them.
