    I usually just log out and then log back in again, and the contest shows up as being entered.

    I'll have to do this on my pc later. When mobile it doesn't seem to work on the sweepstakes page no matter how often I log in. It still tells me to login or register the moment I return to it (since logging in successfully kicks me to home page >.<)

    Or maybe it is because these are electronic devices and as such have heavy regulations shipping to many countries across the world. In fact, it was considered treason to send and XBOX (the original) to many countries when it came out due to it being a tiny computer.

    Plus, shipping is expensive when international.

    ROCCAT gave us this restriction. They are shipping the prizes and not us. We are actively seeking promotions (even with ROCCAT) that are only EU or globally based. When a sponsor offers us gifts to give to our community we don't want to turn it down regardless of restrictions...giving free goodies to our members is something we love to do.

    Sorry about that :blush: nonetheless we are thankful for your feedback and we should have some cool upcoming sweeps for all regions like GW2 exclusive items, Dead by Daylight keys and some other things we have brewing.   We plan on doing some internal hardware sweepstakes that will be open to all countries that Amazon can ship to (only for sweeps with a small amount of prizes of course, visitors running AdBlock on our site are killing our resources so we have to think small these days).

    PS - great choice on a phone, you could not pry my S8 out of my cold dead hands  ;)

    Thanks! No worries, I'm quite used to it by now lol. It's the shipping thing mentioned above, plus some countries have lame laws where they can demand the company pay them the cash value of the item, rather than the actual item if they win it. xD

    I've grown quite fond of the phone myself! And looking forward to those upcoming sweepstakes! :D

    I think it often also has to do with local laws, for example there are even some giveaways I can't enter from canada, I am in canada, due to sweepstake/gambling regulations which can vary from state to state or from province to province etc.

    For example there are many giveaways Quebec residents get excluded from due to stricter quebec regulations and I think in USA it's California which is often exempt.


    http://sarafhawkins.com/blog-law-is-your-giveaway-legal/

    What laws govern? In the United States, sweepstakes promotions are regulated by numerous federal and state laws as well as overseen by various federal agencies. Federal agencies with jurisdiction to regulate sweepstakes promotions include the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), the United States Postal Service (“USPS”), and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”). Sweepstakes promotions may also be regulated by state laws. And let’s not forget that sweepstakes promotions may be the subject of a private lawsuit brought directly by a consumer with a beef as to how the promotion was handled. If a sweepstakes promotion allows nationwide participation, the promotion must comply not only with federal regulations, but also the regulations of each state. For example, in California, the Business and Professions Code governs the promotion of the sweepstakes while the Penal Code (criminal law) sets forth the definition of a lottery. In New York, if the value of the prize offered is more than $5,000.00 the law requires that consumer sweepstakes be registered and bonded 30 days before the commencement of the sweepstakes. The state of Florida also has bonding requirements for sweepstakes.

    I know how you feel .. a lot of times we here in Canada get excluded from a lot of things in the US ... And I can see the US every Morning I go to work .. For example Cortana took 9 moths to be rolled out here after launch ... Who would have thought we Canadians speak funny eh?

    Well, honestly, the same could be said about you. I would like to see a long time member win one of these, or at least someone has contributed to this website. However, that wouldn't be sweepstakes, would it?
