Running contests and sweepstakes are tricky in the US and you have to have to dot every "i" and cross every "t". There are a lot of idiosyncracies to the law that need lenghty disclaimers and elgibility requirements are strict. It's a bummer, but being a US based company...

Can anyone else familiar with this realm of US law comment further? Could they have run two separate sweepstakes/contests, one for US and CA, the other for a international audience?

(Yes, I know...... Canada is international too...)
 

Contest laws

It's why so many times you see "Void to participants in Rhode Island" on supposedly national (US)-only contests.

WOTC (thanks in part to Hasbro) probably is big enough to research contest laws in Canada (and the filing fee in RI is not a problem).

However, trying to do it for EVERYONE else in the world? Even MS and SONY when it holds X360/PS3 contests tend to split it up by region (they don't do International contests and these are companies that are on the quarter to half trillion dollar size)
 

It's not Wizards fault this time... almost every internationa company acts like that. Try to live in Brazil and participate in something from Blizzard...

Justice to be made: Village of Hommlet and the ship tile arrived in my hands with zero problem.
