Didn't see the UK & ROI only until after I'd already entered. 
And as already stated, US companies have competitions for US only citizens, but the US citizens dont cry foul when its only them that can win. Besides, the PC in the prize has a 3070 as the GPU and OcUK will not ship the 30xx series abroad after all the debacle that came with oversees buyers snapping them up with bots.This is the launch of Odyssey and many players from other countries have paid to buy the DLC.
It would be normal if the entire community could participate and it would be a mark of elegance of Frontier.
LolYou're already a winner as you don't have to live here
I just think it is poor form. I have the same issues for contests only held In the USA.

Thats OK, you can't win the game, but you are now playing junk mail roulette. Your bits will be bigger (and you will be thinner) in weeks, so that's a winDidn't see the UK & ROI only until after I'd already entered.
I'd have the same problem with those contests as well.
Curiously, How do you know what US citizens cry foul about and don't cry foul about? You familiar with all of us.
I'm pretty sure we have never met and discussed this.
How very disappointing. Well, I'll just unsubscribe from Overclockers then.
True, which will not be fun at all. I've also gone and blocked them on FB, IG, and Twitter once I found out about the "we can use everything about you in perpetuity" thing, because that's not cool, and unsubbed from their email. That's about all I can do, but it's probably already too late.Thats OK, you can't win the game, but you are now playing junk mail roulette.

I'm glad I read this thread before I did something hasty, Good luck to you who live in the UK or ROI.
P.S. If you see Bruce in an SRV, Run or hide! o7

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm good on hardware, but maybe some other financially-poor goofball will be more appreciative.
That's even ignoring that I am an American and your SWEEPSTAKES is only eligible to British members (which, admittedly, is 1) your main base of operation plus 2) your primary target audience).
Hindsight edit - also open to Ireland, apparently...give the Land of Redheads some love for me, would you kindly. :3

When I looked at the prizes my first thought was, what's the catch?! Companies don't just give expensive stuff like this away unless they were getting something of greater value in return. I checked the link to get the details and saw they wanted access to all my social media accounts. Even if I lived in the UK that would be a big fat nope. It's just a sceme to suck up everyone's meta data and sell it to third parties. These corporations are very rude with how they handle our data.
The one good thing about that is i don't use social media at all.
Yup, fill em up with garbage data, give em stupid answers to survey's. Gotta slow down the singularity. Google makes me LOL, they've been trying to seel me cars for over 10 years and I don't even have a driving license. I love to fill their data with fake news. Then lol at advertisers paying them to give unwanted offers to ppl that troll them again directly.B is standard for pretty much all internet based (and other) competitions these days.
As an Aussie I figured I would be disqualified anyway
I could sign up for the junk mail though... I can always use more junk mail
Me too. Very disappointing.Didn't see the UK & ROI only until after I'd already entered.
Nice Prizes.. i wont be entering as my rig is much more than whats on offer as a prize (but thats just me
thought the Lazer Etctched Logo looks nice.. good luck to all whom enter however o7 CMDR's
You can still play and if you win, resell or give the PC to someone who has insufficient hardware.Nice Prizes.. i wont be entering as my rig is much more than whats on offer as a prize (but thats just me
true enough there is that i guess alsoYou can still play and if you win, resell or give the PC to someone who has insufficient hardware.
For an international company and an internationally played game to only have a UK/ROI competition is a bit weak. Wouldn't it make more sense to have local giveaways in the countries that have large userbases of your products?
