Maybe the Kickstarter 15% commission? The Kickstarter plus is the larger audience though. Looking at the current HTML5 campaign, it's a long way off making its' goal right now so the larger audience may have been needed.
The campaign is about half way though as of today. At the current run rate, they'll fall around $238k short of the goal, need about $21k per day in donations to make it (they had around $1000 today), and another 751 donors at the current average donation of $418. Things can and do change very quickly, especially in the final few days of a campaign, but those numbers don't look good. As for the refund, it's not really any different than Kickstarter. They don't charge your credit card unless the campaign makes it's goal I think RunRev are taking the donations immediately and saying they can choose to return them if they don't meet their goal. Or not, which may be, as you say, what is frightening some people off.
