Seriously, go read the FAQ thread. Everything is in there, and there's no reason for us to repeat it for you here.

The point system is designed to prevent users from entering for every single giveaway. This lowers the overall number of entries, and provides everyone with better odds of winning games they're interested in playing. New users start out with 25P. Every time anyone submits a game, every member of the site, excluding the giveaway creator, receives 5 percent of that gifts value (in USD) in points. For example, if a $50 gift is created, every user on the site receives 2.5 points. And, if a $20 gift is created, everyone would receive 1 point. These points can then be spent on entering giveaways.

If you suddenly receive a large boost in points, either a lot of high-value giveaways were created quickly (this has happened a lot in the last couple of weeks) or a giveaway you entered was deemed fake and deleted by the moderators (whether it's open or closed, you will have your points returned).
