Steamgifts level

Some games are reduced value, and no value.
I checked your account, you sent 1 full value game and 2 reduced value games.
When create GA, if there is a *, it means reduced value. If **, it is no value.
Reduced value = 15% CV.

Hover over the $40.97. Then you see the real CV (Contributer Value). There you have around 14 bucks. Levels are always measured at real CV not the other value.

Like others have said, the value show on your profile is the full retail price in US dollars, but your real CV is calculated based on if the game is considered full value, reduced value, or no value if it has ever been given away for free. The real CV is shown if you keep your cursor over the value on your profile.

You may want to read the section called "Contributor Value And Levels" in the FAQ.

Thanks everyone for the replies! Now I know how lvl works.

Here you can see how much your giveaways contributed to your CV and level.

It's still quite confusing. Recently I got 0.03 points for 5P DLC and only 0.02 points for 15P base game. Both are "reduced value"...
