SG Pillars - Steamgifts contributor group

SGPillars is a group made for the most generous members of the Steamgifts community, and through their contributions keeping it active and running smoothly; This includes those who donate their time (moderators / support), money (Patreon), or who give far more then they receive.

To join and remain a member:

  1. Either be;
    A. Steamgifts Moderator (any type)
    B. Steamgifts Patron (on Patreon) with 1:1 real CV ratio or better.
    C. Have a 2:1 real CV ratio or better, and level 5+ with 50+ different games given away.
  2. Be an active Steamgifts contributor; Your latest giveaway must be less then a year old.
  3. Group giveaways aren't required, but to avoid abuse members group value difference may not go below -$200.
  4. Respect the gifters; Thank gifters if you win, and play wins if the gifter asks you to play/enjoy them in giveaway description.

Those who fail to adhere to these rules may be kicked without warning at any time!

If you wish to join please post in this thread. After checking that you meet the group requirements you will be sent a friend invite, and shortly after you accept it the group invite will be sent. The friend invite is needed because Steam no longer allows group invites from users unless they are on your friends list.

Note that Steam does not always show a notification when you receive an invite!

Hi! I noticed that I was kicked recently when I tried to create giveaways for this group. I still have a higher than 2:1 real CV ratio, and, despite tight finances, I still make giveaways from time to time. I'm not entering every giveaway and I always thank the gifters when I win something. The only rule I'm not sure of is -200$ value difference since I mostly do public or shared giveaways (but I don't remember winning something expensive with full CV lately). So, is there any way to check your group ratio after you've been kicked? And to know how much exactly I "owe" to the group?

Yea looks like you were kicked back in June, which I think was due to the -200$ value difference rule, but the exact value is only no longer visible. If I didn't message you about it before the kick though that means it was probably a very high value. If you'd like I can add you back, but will have to keep an eye on the value difference once it shows up in https://www.steamgifts.com/group/1TSzG/sgpillars/users/search?page=10

Nah, there is no need for that, thanks.

As AllTracTurbo explained, it only counts full price, not real CV. So, If I won a lot of cheap bundled games with reduced CV (and I mostly enter for bundled games giveaways), but gave back full-priced games with 6x times more real CV — I will still be in minus. And since there is no way to buy bundles anymore due to sanctions — I mostly give away gifts, paying for them way more than I would've paid for bundled games.

Another problem is that CV splits between the groups. And since I always made giveaways for Pillars and Elite One Giveaways (a significant percentage of whose members intersect), as well as for three of my groups (which many SG Pillars members have also joined) — I will get only 20-25% of the gift price from some of the winners.

Moreover, if I'm in a person's whitelist, and that person makes a giveaway for the whitelist and the group, and I win it — I will get 100% of the game price as "received" in the group.

There is no way I could keep up with such requirement, sadly. Thanks to all members for all the great giveaways though!

Also, I have a lot of group members in my whitelist and some of them have me in theirs. In case of shared GAs between this group and whitelists how this ratio calculates? The same question about groups: If the winner is a member of 2-5 groups that I am doing a giveaway for, how will the amount split between them? Just wondering for the future

Hi. Unfortunately you do not currently meet the 1:1 real cv ratio needed for Patreon members (you've sent $59.07 and won $65.95, or a ratio of 0.89:1).

You can check your real CV ratio by placing your mouse cursor over top the "Gifts sent" or "Gifts won" value in your Steamgifts profile (a popup window showing the real CV amount will appear).

Hi. Unfortunately you do not currently meet the 2:1 real cv ratio needed to join (you've sent $291.40 and won $154.00, or a ratio of 1.89:1).

You can check your real CV ratio by placing your mouse cursor over top the "Gifts sent" or "Gifts won" value in your Steamgifts profile (a popup window showing the real CV amount will appear).

Did you read the rules? You're no where close to meeting the 2:1 ratio requirement needed to join (you've sent $281.88 and won $602.95, or a ratio of 0.46:1).

You can check your real CV ratio by placing your mouse cursor over top the "Gifts sent" or "Gifts won" value in your Steamgifts profile (a popup window showing the real CV amount will appear).
