FAQ: Why is a certain contest or giveaway not open to my country or province?
While beta key giveaways involve no prizes with a monetary value, some of our contests and giveaways do, which makes them subject to and restricted by local and international laws governing sweepstakes and other such events with prizes. And the law in many countries, provinces, and states is overzealous when it comes to these types of contests. The Canadian province of Quebec, for example, expects contest-runners to register their events a month in advance and pay a fee to an oversight board. Some US states, like Rhode Island, likewise demand registration with the government of that state if the prizes exceed a certain value. So please understand that wading through the laws of dozens of principalities makes fully international contests too prohibitive for a little site like ours. It’s not that we don’t love our readers in Europe. Please, encourage your governments to change the way that sweepstakes law applies to the modern internet!
