The last question has a "no" as an answer I think.

yeah scam site , anyways its because they got bundled

Yeah, that's right. This site is a scam (^w^)
Retroactive bundling made sure your giveaways only gained 15% of their real value, which is less than the 25 needed to reach level 2

they need to make new database about keeping the first original price befor they got bundle and people can save the old giveaway value

It's already working like that. The site just gets updated slowly.

All the games you gave away were from a bundle, so they count less for your level. I guess the site took some time to label them correctly.

so even if i owned them before they bundle them it doesn't matter to the site since they got bundled.
Even if i did waited for example until this bundle thing to end it would still count as much? even if i got it through its original price?

Yes, once a game gets added to the bundle list it will always give15% of the real cost in CV (level)
Quick edit: Here you can find the list of games that are considered bundled Bundle List

this plainly sucks. its not worth it to give half of the games i have. they would already be bundled by now.

If it's your only reason to give games then yeah, it's not worth it.

well obviously my reason for giving away games is because i don't need those especially but i also want to win something back from this. if i don't get some contributor levels my chances as a level : 0 would be close to none.

Then you could give away games of higher value and unbundled. You'd get the 'reward' you're expecting.

Oh and one more, a game is considered bundled if there is a price glitch or if anywhere in the world it has a discount of 95% or more compared to the US $ price

If a game gets bundled on say, the 10th, you start the giveaway on the 11th, and the site is updated on the 20th, you get Bundled.
If you start the giveaway on the 9th (before the bundle) and it ends on the 11th, then you get full value.
Your items were reduced because the giveaways started after the bundle.

if you create the giveaway before the games get bundled, then you get full value. If you create on or after the date of bundled, then 15% only

It would be really easy to get a higher value if you could just wait until the bundle ended, don't you think?
Every game has to be put on the bundle list manually by cg, and it works retroactively in the sense that every giveaway that started on or after the day of the bundling only gains 15% of the value.

You received about $9.75 CV for them because they're bundled games and only get 15% of their value as CV.

Look here:

This is the "real" value of the bundled games you gave away.
Read the faq again in case you misunderstood something.

They should make it to update as soon as you do the giveaway because i was told i would get the steam $ value. i can't follow all giveaway sites just to not post some games i may have on my hands.

There is one single user updating the list. Ignoring that they are only human, this isn't a paid job. They have to go do the kind of stuff that pays their bills, not just update SG all day.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah i understand that. its just a bit frustrating to have some games on my hand that i wanted to give away but from what i see from the list of bundled games they already got bundled. its a bit presumptuous to assume that every single user got his copy from a bundle site.
Although i do understand where this is coming from its just seems harsh to have paid for some games for 10$ for example and only get 1$ worth of points

you can check bundled games here http://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games
although new bundled games may not be updated within a short period of time

You could always check isthereanydeal.
You shouldn't care about CV too much. Just give what you are willing to and what you can afford and thats it.

Not really, unless you only giveaway games for "profit" to enter high lvls giveaways that may contain more expensive games with higher chance of winning. If you want to do that, i think its just better to save the money and buy games yourself.

Happens to loads of people. If you want to buy something for a giveaway, either give it away instantly, or live in fear.

i have a 4-pack for terraria i bought long ago from steam for me and some friends. 2 of them didn't want it in the end and i was left with 2 copies. i paid their full price back then. Do you get my gist? i would get close to 2$ value from them right now. Its ok this discussion is over. I understood the logic behind it and i fully respect it.

its ok guys my question was solved. as i said above it was a bit worrying about this reason :
"i have a 4-pack for terraria i bought long ago from steam for me and some friends. 2 of them didn't want it in the end and i was left with 2 copies. i paid their full price back then.

thanks for your answers. i didn't meant to offend the creator or anyone in here. Im here to give what i can and when i can.
Have a great day everyone and happy giving
Edit: Im new to this gifting site thing and i had some "drawbacks" from some previous scams i had encountered. Sorry again for the trouble.
