Not completely true, you get the value slowly equal to 20% of your non-bundle giveaways I think. Anyways, before using the site read the FAQ.
Edit: You can tell if a game is counted as bundled by looking for a * next to its name in the create a giveaway list.

Thanks for the laugh. :P
As others have said, you've only given away bundle games, so you can only get a maximum of $30 until you give away a non-bundle game.

I don't know, sounds awesome enough that I want to quote him to my family, who can only do the first two anyway.
Most of them will agree with you though.

Edit: I have no idea how to get the less than symbol working inside a code block
I was always interested in this as well, from a mathematical perspective, so I did some empirical testing,
Can someone review this, (ie find me a counter example) thanks!
Let X be the value of nonbundled games
Let Y be the value of bundled games
if(Y <= 30){
T = X + Y //If your bundle value is less than 30 you get all of it
}
else{
if(Y - 30 <= X*20%){
T = X + Y //After the first 30, if 20% of your nonbundle value exceeds your bundle-30, you get all of it.
}
else{
T = X + 30 + X*20% //Otherwise you get nonbundled + First 30 + 20% of your nonbundle value
}
}

Nope, that formula is wrong. It's actually the first $25 on bundled games that gets treated as non-bundle.
Proper code would be:
if (Y <= 25){
NB = X + Y;
B = 0;
}
else{
NB = X + 25;
B = Y - 25;
}
T = NB + min(B, NB * 0.2);

I think they must have changed it recently,
I have $60 in Bundle and $1.99 in nonbundle
My CV is $32.39, and not $27.39
$30 also makes sense to why I see so many $30.01 giveaways

It's always been that way.
$30 is the first $25 counted as non-bundled plus 20% of it, so $5. That's why giving away bundle games will always net you a maximum of $30.
In your case, the first $25 of your $60 plus $1.99 gives you $26.99 as non-bundled games. Add 20% of this ($5.40) and you have your $32.29

Could someone point me to the information on how the math works?
Thus far I've gifted three games on here, one of them having a value of over $30, yet my contributions come to a precise clean total of $30.
