        I figured, but without explanation and in the barebones context, it’s amusing, like Canadians have to earn the privilege for some reason. If other countries had a similar requirement it wouldn’t stand out, but it looks like you’re/they’re being singled out because of it.

          Its the reason why why have to also have to put a ailable to select countries, as there are countries where raffles are basically forbidden. Anytime theres some odd requirements in the contest ToS, assume its because of countries respective lottory or gambling laws

      It’s a legal loophole to get around our gambling regulations. Raffles are regulated, but tests of skill can be rewarded.

      So now it’s a raffle followed by a “skill testing” arithmetic question.
