You pay 2/3 for the award to be displayed on the recipient's post/profile and 1/3 of the points they can keep for themselves.

okay thank you for the info it's greatly appreciated . lol still a sham in my opinion. I am just gonna let this go and never send points again . try to be a nice guy and have sent many points to a big variety of people and i just expect them to receive what i sent.

okay thank you for the info it's greatly appreciated. that makes 0 sense . (...)

It is not a "transfer my points to someone else" option. It is there just to give them an award, a sticker on their post/profile, and additionally some bonus points.

From the Points Shop about the Community Awards:
Use your points to emphasize reviews, profiles, discussion board posts, and User-Generated Content on Steam with an Award. The Award will appear for all to see and also give the contributor a tip of 100 Points or more.

!/3 of 4800 sent is 1600 . it has already been sent. not the issue anymore. it's steam stealing my points in the transition. where are the remaining points ? really it's okay i won't send anything to anybody anymore. if you fill up at the filling station and you pay 3.00 $ a gallon and only get !/3 of the fuel pumped . there is a issue .

It's partly to stop bad actors.

If you've been on Steam any time, you'll jknow of the many times people have scammed or exploited Steam in various ways - from the coal incident one Winter Sale which emptied the prize pool of free games early to wrecking other meta games.

Valve also want to depserately avoid things like money laundering because that's a legal headache they do not need.

So they instigate things like this to make it counter-productive to move points because if they exist, people will try to earn money from them.

Sadly, that's why.

And yes, other paltforms do similar.

Then steam needs to discontinue their points exchange useless function . i suspect they won't because they obviously gain from it . Thanks for the reply & Merry Christmas to you and your family. i am unsubscribing from this post .

No problem.

For what it's worth I agree though there MIGHT be a reason for it. I don't have all the info so I'll reserve judgemtn.

At least you know now and Merry Christmas too.
