World of Warcraft 15-Year Anniversary Collector’s Edition Giveaway

I remember many many years ago when Blizzard stopped their servers being accessed from Iran (?) due to the US embargo, although this isn’t in any way as serious, it is always the rules and regulations of the country in question that decide whether a promotion can be run, Blizzard have no say in the matter.

As posted earlier this is in the competition rules

  1. Eligibility. BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT SAS, A FRENCH COMPANY with its address at 145 rue Yves le Coz, 78000 Versailles, France (referred to herein as the “Sponsor”), IS THE SPONSOR OF THIS SWEEPSTAKES (the “Sweepstakes”).

Prob country laws, suck it up buttercup.
I’m for one surprised to see Denmark being on the list of countries able to enter, considering our generally strict laws with anything gaming lololo

24

Don’t be paranoid, if you are eligible to a promotion is because there is some law in your country that forbid Blizzard to do it, Blizzard does not gain anything by excluding you. Your country’s laws are not Blizzard responsibility, is your responsibility, Blizzard has not voted for the politics that had made those laws, your and every other citizen of your country did. You don’t like it? Change it with your vote.

25

can we stop teaching me what laws my countries has? :joy:

I know it better than anyone else here, and Im the only one not making weird assumptions. just… stop lmao. it hurts my brain seeing people trying to come off as smart or w/e you’re trying.

26

No, you’re making baseless assumptions that Blizz is excluding locations because they are greedy.

I like you mate and I enjoy seeing your posts on the forums but this is going a bit far.

I answered from what I remember but I’m not even sure I’m right…

Fair enough.
Would you mind educating me then? I must admit I’m rather curious as to the cause of your issue. But if you know the particular law for your country that’s the reason for your ineligibility, do tell. :slight_smile:

I mean its a pretty simple logic.
I’ve participated in giveaways throughout my life (last one being around valentines) and i’ve had stuff I won mailed to me from all around the globe, germany, UK, US, scandinavia, japan, italy, france, and some eastern europian countires, i could participate and get my rewards in all those giveaways.

blizzard is doing a giveaway and i cant enter.

its alright, i’ve already opened a ticket, and we’ll talk there, since blizzard CMs dont bother comming or answering forum posts, unless its a thread about “what’s your favorite color ^.^?”

there’s no such law, as mentioned above.

32

:unamused:

What’s your country of residence?

could you stop chasing me around, asking for personal information? jeez.
Im not going to share my personal, irl information with every creep on internet.

as mentioned, ticket has been opened and ill be talking with blizz cs about it and we’ll see where we go from there.

34

Fair enough, my apologies.

But surely you can see there’s few explanations here.

Either you’re trolling.
Or your country of residence isn’t one of those eligible.
Or your stated country of residence doesn’t match your actual country of residence.

The notion that it’s Blizzard’s greed is ridiculous, and is definitely not one of the possible explanations.

Without knowing what country it is specifically, it’s hard to demonstrate that there are rules governing competitions and gambling.

I can produce various links to documentation about rules in many countries but it’s a bit of a stab in the dark atm :laughing:

It really isn’t. The contest clearly outlines the terms of eligibility and rules of competition – you’ve posted them yourself.
Beyond that the issue is on the user’s end, which I think the thread so far indicates to be the case as well.
Or it’s a personal vendetta against a single individual because Blizzard are greedy. Could be that too I guess…

37

should i say it? …it starts with a J

38

Still can’t see how it’s Blizzard being greedy

39

some people simply dont understand what “limited promotion” means.

No greed though is there
