Steamgifts help and understanding

[Alterego]

Hi i read the faq and i must be blind one eye and cant see out of the other, but i could not find the answers to my questions, and i was just wondering how exactly do they work, how do you obtain points, and how do you participate. i know alot of the times people dont win but i thought it would be cool to give this a try, any information would be greatly appreciated.

How do they work

someone makes a game offering, set's up a date restriction when to run the giveaway, can set also the minimum contribution value required to someone to join the giveaway and can also set it to be private to a specific steam group.

Once the giveaway date ends, the system chooses 1 random winner on all entrants of the game. The system then announces the winner to the giveaway creator and the giveaway creator must now contact the winner to send the game through his email (which the system gives you privately) or the winner directly to give the game in steam.

After the winner gets his gift, the winner must now mark the giveaway as received so the giveaway creator gets feedback. The giveaway creator has 7 days to deliver the steam game or the winner can and has the privilege to mark the giveaway as not received.

How to get points

x Points are given to all members of the steamgifts community when someone makes a giveaway, x will be equal to (~20%(?)) x (game requirement points).

Quick, example. I create a giveaway for skyrim, skyrim costs 30P to enter. All members of the steamgift community gets 6 points

Points are maxed at 300points where at that point you don't get any more points

P.S: Not sure about 20%, it's just a hypothetical percentage

How to participate

You must have a steam account accounting to at least 100$ worth of games. Create a steamgifts account and join/create giveaways. I think you start at 60P upon registering.
