That's a feature, not a catch. The money at Kickstarter is donated by
individuals, and is guaranteed by Kickstarter not to be "lost" if the
project doesn't get fully funded. This frees people up to donate
money to projects without having to ask themselves whether it's likely
that the project will get funded or not.
