Hello peeps. I recently made a GA for an unbundled game, however my CL remained the same. Why would this be?
Couldn’t see any ref for this in the FAQ or on discussions.

Thank you.

This gives better explanation of Contributor Level than SG

You Contributor Value should increase, but you need more to increase your Contributor Level

I dont understand if this is a joke or if you are really serious because:

  1. Member for 8 years
  2. Created over 300 GAs.
  3. The info is in the FAQ which you claimed you read and couldnt find anything about it.

Actually level 7 requires 1000 RCV, not 2000 (that's level 8).
They're 245 RCV away from level 7 atm.

Looks like you did get full CV for your most recent giveaway (assuming that's the one from a week ago and not a more recent one you haven't had feedback on yet), so maybe some other games value dropped or something (maybe some games got marked free or bundled late).

This link might help you sort it out.

In addition to what everyone else has said, you can see your contributor level "rise" after each non-free game giveaway.

Sorry my english bad + i problem surgery brain\body too:
if You is Level 6
and
if last game you give away is SteamWorld Dig 2
and
if price of SteamWorld Dig 2 on steam is $19,99
The interval between level 6 $500 and level 7 $1000 is =
499,99 (Count from 501 to 1000 or you can do opposite 1000-501)
You divide price of the game you give away for the interval
19,99/499,99 = 0,039
This will give you contributor value that add to your account
so you will get around 0.03 contributor value for give away SteamWorld Dig 2 when if the price of it is 19,99 and your level is 6
So if before you is level 6,48 after give away steam world dig 2 you go to 6,51
This is valid only if a game is not bundled (or don't include others rare conditions as 90% discounts on steam etc)
If the game is Reduce value it give less you can see it because when you create giveaway show asterisk
if the game is no value is give nothing
Official Faq is here https://www.steamgifts.com/about/faq

you can calculate how much it give to you in this way divide price of game \ with interval between levels
Example:
if price of a game on steam (usa) is $24,99
and your Level is 2
interval between level 2 and level 3 is = 24,99 (25,01 to 50) or ( 50-25,01) =24,99
So for calculate how much you will get you can do
price of game 24,99
divide finterval between level 24,99
so 24,99/24,99
Result = 1
so game will give you 1.00 contributor level point
BUT if you is at level 5:
level 5 to level 6 is $250.01-$500,
interval is $249.9 in Contributor Value
so 24.99/249.9
you will get around 0.10 Contributor Level point instead of 1
So level 2 you get 1 point,level 5 you get 0.10 etc.

FYI, you can also lose some CV if the steam price of the game you have given in the past go down

Thank you peeps. I've been blindly making GAs and figured I might see more than a 0.03 increase from a $20 title. That SGTools link will help me check in future too.
Mystery solved for me - thank you.
