This is a good idea. Encourages people to gift. When I have some spare cash, I'll be sure to return the favor.

This system is definitely great!
I joined to day and i have no complains about the system.
However i think the system is bugged, since i joined more than 10 giveaways have been added and i only got 30 points (actually 5), where 25 of them were the ones that were already there when the account is created, and as stated above. From those 10 giveaways one of them was $50, which by how the system works it should give 5 points and the other extra points from the other games.
Am i missing something? Is is a bug or it's because i joined today? Thank you very much in advance.

Seems to be working better now. Thank you very much if you looked into this.

This is terribly bad.
3000+ entries in $40+ games.
Change it to 5% of the sum of the values of the 3 newest giveaways.
Confusing?
3 new giveaways are made.
Those are Magicka, Portal and HL1.
10 + 10 + 10
30 pts
5% of 30 pts = 1.5
rounds up to 2.
That makes the community able to know if they gift one dollar games just for points, the entire community will get fewer points.

Yes. People join giveaways just for a chance to win; not because they really want the game.
Half of the website's population is made out of Leechers, and this system only benefits them.

Edit: This information is no longer correct, we have lowered the generation to five percent.
EDIT: Point System Now Live
If you check the top right, there's a number in brackets next to Logout, which represents your current points. At the moment, I sent everyone 100, and new users will start with 25. Now, how it works.
When a giveaway is created on the site, every single member gets 10% of that value in points. So, if I started a giveaway at this moment, for a $50 Steam game, everyone would now have an extra 5 points. When you enter a giveaway, you spend these points. If you enter for a game worth $20, you spend 20 points, and you'll see the number next to Logout drop by 20. If you decide to remove your entry while the giveaway is still open, those 20 points are returned. And of course, if you don't have the required number of points, you're unable to enter that giveaway.
At most, you can save up to 300 points. This way, people can't be inactive for months, and then return to thousands of points, entering everything.
Numbers are rounded up, so if someone creates a giveaway for a $1 game, 1/10 = 0.1 points, but that's rounded to 1, so it helps to contribute to everyone.
What do you guys think? Suggestions? I thought we'd try it out for a few days, and see how things are going. In short, this will allow people to choose which 10% of giveaways they would like to enter, giving them better odds for games they're interested in playing.
