Bundle games only count up to 20% of the total value. However the firs 25$ are whitelisted thus you can get up to 30$ by giving only bundle games, as your case is.

20% of your total NON-bundle value. The first 25$ of bundle games count as non-bundle.

You want your bundle value to increase? Give non-bundles.

This really, really needs to be in the FAQ, since, you know, it's one of the most frequently asked questions here.

The FAQ needs to be totally updated with all possible unique events that could come up with the system. The FAQ that's currently on this site offers very little help.

Yes, because everyone reads the FAQ and that would solve everything. Let me self promote my idea again.

really, it should be on the create a giveaway page. if you put an asterisk after something, people expect that to mean there's some fine print explaining what the asterisk means (or if it's a field caption they'll probably think it's a required field). if it was actually on the create a giveaway page, that would cut down on the questions about what the asterisk means, though the people who don't read that page and just notice their contributor value isn't going up anymore will still ask.

it really shouldn't be that difficult to find. i only know about it because i've been here long enough to see the discussion.

It's not obvious enough at the moment, as evidenced by these Groundhog Day threads.

Yeah, I hope the new FAQ will cover this.

As far as I know the value bundle games render is up to 20% of the total value. Meaning that if you have 100$ CV only 20$ of that can be made of bundled contributions. I might be wrong there.

Anyways the concept is that the OP has to give non bundled games in order to make his value rise.

They were in a bundle, and giveaway value is capped from those, to $30 if you haven't given away anything else.
