Read the rules, you can manually enter the contest by sending them a postal letter by mail to their office with your Name, Curse Name, Date of Birth, Address, ect. - Please, before you cry about credit cards and what not, I suggest you do a little research.
The contest is still free, just requires a bit of work if you don't have a premium membership.
So if the premium subscriptions support addon/mod authors in the community, will we be seeing a banning of adf.ly in the near future? If not, then I highly doubt the above statement is true...
Seriously? You flippin' wish. The comment in my sig only goes so far. I'm not going to pay what little money I have for a contest I'm not likely to win.
Like hell I'm even gonna support you guys now. I hope the giveaways run you con artists dry.
Actually, if you look at other major contests, such as ones operated by Pepsi or Coca Cola, you can enter those without purchase, but you are still required to mail in an entry.
Curse operates our contests like all other major contests.
They only run contests in countries where they have an international headquarters. Being a global country with a HQ in that country allows them to operate under the legal umbrellas of that country.
Curse is a US company so those same foreign(to us) countries impose additional fees and legal hoops to jump through, which is what I was referring to in the rest of that post you quoted.
