because u gifted a game with a asterik . ex : 3 ship giveaways. The max u can gift a game with an asterik is 30$, so u gifted ship ($20 with ) and shadowgrounds ($10, no *).

Mabey the person who won hasn't ticked that they received it.

Every game you gave was on a indie bundle or was massively given away. You can only get 30$ max if that is all you give.

The value of bundle games is only added till it reached 20% of the value of the non-bundle games you have given away and the first 25$ are counted as non-bundle.

see here.

If the games you give away have you will not receive a higher contributor total value than $30.
So from now on, if you want more contributor value, you have to give away games that are not marked with .

Scandalous. There's no other word for it.

You have been robbed. Stand up for your human rights, and don't stop until justice has been done. Only $30 of credit, having spent not a cent less than $70 of your hard earned cash on The Ship?

...

It's an outrage... You should be credited for what you actually paid, not unfairly punished because Steamgifts uses a bunch of made-up numbers based on nothing more than CG's mood swings.

Contact these people. I have a feeling they would be very interested in your story.
