The point system is designed to prevent users from entering for every single giveaway. This lowers the overall number of entries, and provides everyone with better odds of winning games they're interested in playing. New users start out with 25P. Every time anyone submits a game, every member of the site, excluding the giveaway creator, receives 5 percent of that gifts value (in USD) in points. For example, if a $50 gift is created, every user on the site receives 2.5 points. And, if a $20 gift is created, everyone would receive 1 point. These points can then be spent on entering giveaways.
1P = $1 - When entering a giveaway, 1P is equal to $1. If you're entering for a chance to win a game valued at $20, you'll spend 20 points. If at anytime you decide to remove your entry while the giveaway is open, those points will be returned.
The maximum number of points that can be banked is 300. This is to prevent users from stocking up on points while being away for long periods of time.

Hey Loko, my proposal to rename the FAQ into "READ THIS OR KNIFE IN THROAT" is still open.

I realize that the FAQ says "if a $50 gift is created, every user on the site receives 2.5 points," but I think the line is far too subtle. I had to read this section two or three times (I blame it on skimming) before I realized that we would be getting fractional points. A more relevant question that is definitely not in the FAQ: Are the fractional points just banked up in the background until a whole unit is reached and then given to us?

Does that mean, that each gift with 20$ or less will generate one full point for all others? Or do they get [up to 20$]/20? in floating point values?
