Hello.
Today there was a guy that kept doing hollas about how he hosts a giveaway.
But here is the catch: You must first join his discord server.
Which means that you must complete an action first in order to be able to get a prize from the dispenser.
Is this allowed?

  • I guess its a grey area cause its like a payaway where you have to give something to get the item in return. To be honest I would just avoid all these types of "giveaways" because its just not worth it.

    Its not even a successful way to do get people to join their discord server that they are promoting since people could just join, get the prize and then leave.

    I think it is allowed but its just pointless.
  • YouTube giveaways are allowed (I mean, have to subscribe and at a certain ammount, you can get in - or a pass in a video). So it is.

    This is what redeagle does, and he is not banned, so I think it is ok.
    He usually gives 0 prizes away, maybe 1, but he still does them.

    Can you bring here a post of a moderator/admin that confirms the thing with youtube giveaways?

    How to explain that they aren't stopped while running, while moderators are in game? ;)
    Same, can you bring a screen that it isn't?

    I cannot because I have no idea if they are allowed or not.
    That's why I'm asking.
    Moderators are known to sometime have their own ideas about how a rule works.. I guess this falls within the already infamous grey area.

    It hasnt been really said, but since you dont really pay anything i think its allowed, because hey, just join the discord server, look for the code and leave again

    But Redeagle is doing this for years. So I guess it's allowed...

    Where's the harm in it? You are doing something for FREE it's not a PAYaway. It's as simple as filling out a survey on Tapjoy for a quick chunk of cubits imo, just this isn't official. I think it's a good way to advertise servers if you can afford it.

    It is advertising so..

    What if we replace the discord server with a website thats based on refferals and for every guy you get lets say 1$ in that website's credit? Or 10% of what he earns or whatever and you bait them by telling them they get a prize if they insert that link and login/register and do the action.
    You could get "rich" in some way or another pretty fast lol

    The player visiting the link isnt paying so it would still be allowed (like with youtube ads for vids and such) also its more like 0.25 dollars per person visited and most of the time it isnt even worth it because the cost is higher than the gain

    If the Discord Server contains any way of making money it's different, which is why Eagles shouldn't be allowed but that's a bridge I won't mini mod under.
  • if I could I would just un allow red from doing it and give him a 1 month ban xD
