i searched alot and read every where
to level up you need to giveaway 2x $ of previous giveaway

but what about level 0 to 1 ???
what is the minimum amount to reach level 1 ?

my first giveaway was worth 39$ and that took me straight to level 1.29
so i believe now i need around 79$ giveaway to reach level 2 ?

would it have been better if i created giveaway of lower cost ?

what if my first giveaway was 100$ any disadvantage ?

You can give away whatever you want. It doesn't have to be 1 expensive gift. You can give many smaller ones. Don't bother yourself with CV much, CV is always changing.

Any giveaway gives level 1. It's why I prefer to keep my own giveaways level 2+ at minimum

There are no disadvantages to giving away higher priced games. (though note that bundled games give reduced value)
If you give away more than necessary to get to the next level then the excess value will go towards the next level.

Your first giveaway was worth $40, but the system only recognizes 15% of it because it's been bundled, so you in fact got only $6 CV and you need $25 for level 2.

if someone got 1$ cv from his first giveaway will he reach level 1 ?
if yes then how much would he need to reach 2nd level

$25 for lvl2, but a non-bundled grand total of $25. you are currently sitting on $13.50.

Anything reaches level 1. And for level 2 you need $25 real CV like I mentioned and like it's written in the thread I linked.

the game you gifted was a bundled game so you only get 15% of the value of it (in this case $6 CV).. each level needs a certain amount of "real cv" to get thru, the list of all cv levels tells you the corresponding values. the sgtools (second link in meemesmo's post) tells you your true current CV.. bundlelist games can be found here

whatever you giveaway adds up to your value, each level requires certain value. You don't need to make exact value to make a level, extra value is not lost. If for example on level 0 you'd give 60$ worth non-bundle game you wouldn't just hit lvl1, you'd instantly rise from lvl0 to lvl3 - skipping lvl 1 and 2. If you give something that is unbundled (not on this list: https://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games) and is worth 39$ your Real Value will rise to 52.5$ and you will be level 3.

i figured it was invalid.. change your feedback to "not received" on that one imo.. it's making you look like a rule-breaker when you are not one (assuming your telling me the truth).. xD

that dev hasn't even been logged online to possibly fix or contest the feedback though, so imo, just change the feedback on it ;)

all wins must be activated on the account they were won on <- the rule that you currently look guilty of

Hey i just tried to activate it once again and it said "duplicate code , already used"
I realized now that i sent the code to a group after winning and forgot about it. After weeks when i logged back in i saw it , tried to activate and i didnt work .. didnt think much about it ..

I know that winning a key and putting it back in the website as giveaway is really bad
What i did was breaking a rule too ?
What should i do now ? What penalties will i get for not redeeming the gift in my steam ?

I'll leave the feedback received as it was probably legit and redeemed by one of my group mate

i see, yeah technically was then. the only thing you can do to legitly fix that is just buy a replacement when you can. as far as punishment, if/when someone reports you it will be a 5day suspension from site. after said suspension is dealt with you would of served the full punishment and no longer really get in trouble. however that mark will likely have gotten you on quite a few blacklists already, and as long as it remains unfixed, probably more to come. and the final bad result of not redeeming is sgtools protected private giveaways, having a not-received game will cause you to be kicked out of those giveaways.

when you have enough $ from cardsales or if it ever hits a bundle, i'd probably try to buy that to fix it though.
