How long before my level is raised?

Open
memeticist

Hello,
I gave a game away and the winner marked it as received. I can see that the value of the game is reflected in the winners Gifts Won and my Gifts Sent section. However, that value has not applied to my level yet. How long does that usually take? Thanks

Quake 2 has zero contributor value since it was probably given away somewhere for free around May 2024. Thus you will not get any levels unfortunately.

When you make a giveaway, if it has 2 red stars next to the name of the giveaway like Quake 2, it will not contribute to you level. One star has reduced contribution value as its most likely a bundled game and zero stars give full value as SG considers it an unbundled title at the time of the giveaway when it was made.

to add to this, this was only a 500 copy giveaway from the known streamer that I codename CVhitsquad. Normally it requires 1k copies to hit the 0 category.

CVhitsquad, I like that. Seems he's on the way to become SG's public enemy number one.

It's instant, but as mentioned above, Quake 2 has no CV. Sometimes it's reduced after you list the game, but Quake 2 was listed as zero CV at the time you listed it.
