FSM sweepstakes

Sadly it is quite likely that Australian law is what prevents you from entering and winning a prize. If it's any consolation, Quebec is exempt from the contest as well, due to it's own provincial laws. FSM isn't limiting the entries to only North America, though it may appear to be that way.

Here is a quote from the former Ad Sales Representative for FSM explaining why:

We have had, and continue to have discussions about other types of contests that we could open up to our world-wide readership, but I'm afraid the current monthly sweeps will continue to be closed to readers outside of North America because each country and/or province sets their own rules for sweepstakes. Sweepstakes are considered games of chance, and are regulated differently by each country and province. In most countries, the legal standards are quite stringent, making it very difficult to properly conduct a sweepstakes. Due to our limited distribution in countries outside of North America, the differing rules governing each country/province, and the associated expenses it is virtually impossible for us to include countries outside of North America in our sweepstakes. We wish it were easier to conduct sweepstakes elsewhere, but for now, we must limit participation to most areas of North America.

Michael, if you ever happen to read this, you're missed around the forums!

damn, I didnt think of that.

Thanks Brigg

Hey, that's me.

Thanks for the kind words.  I do check back from time to time to see how everyone's doing and to keep in touch with what's happening in the industry.  Many, many changes since I left in March but Matt's a great guy and I'm certain he'll guide FSM well going forward.
