so us get a garenteed mini destroyer with a mag, AND a 3 chance to win for free?
but then again america gets 375 total while [b]EU gets 1000 per mag[/b] (as in mag brand), but still a chance, personally i favour the american system, 1 in the hand > 2 in the bush.
Europe get around 9000 minis or so? whiel america gets 375, think about it, its good enough
......this be a sad day for austrailian fans imo
btw loved the tiny violin:P

Actually you guys have it better, think of it this way:
You buy magazines and can get multiple and in certain stores.
WE get a fairly large pool because of the ease of signing up and we only get one chance really....
Its much fair i think to you....
actually anyone knoew if my bro can sign up? We live in the same house, but we got two seperate accounts

'Tiny chance of winning a pet' does not equal 'drop 5 bucks and get a mini pet'.
It's more like, drop the equivalent of 12 bucks and get a 1/50 shot at a mini pet. 1 in 50 are not good odds, and I believe I'm exaggerating the chance there. I think it's actually quite a bit less than 1/50.

Why NOT Quebec? It's just an in-game prize. Anet shouldn't make region restriction for those things. It's kinda unfair, the Mini Mania says 'North America', are they try to say that Quebec is not North America? Guess I have to spent a few ectos, what a life >.<

"In reality, the test is a hack of Canada's legal code by the promotions business. Canadian anti-gambling law makes it illegal to sell chances to win a prize, so promoters always offer a free method of entering each contest, and task every winner with a skill-testing question. By doing the latter, they argue, the game is no longer one merely of chance but a contest requiring some skill."

If two separate people own two separate accounts but at the same address, does that mean only one can do an entry?
That's a bummer. Which one gets to try for a free mini? Especially since if one wins, the prize is something extremely difficult to get (even the "common" pets they are giving away are extremely rare, if I am reading this correctly.)

Correct me if I'm wrong on this one, because I'm technically assuming... I'll try to get this sorted out with my parents once they're back home.
Take Loto-Québec. Loto-Québec is a provincial lottery - it's under an association that I cannot remember the name of ATM and that is controlled by the provincial government (Régie des Jeux et Loisirs du Québec or something along the lines). It's technically the only legal lottery, and they have the monopole on it. Even bingo nights at church or other clubs are legislated by the Régie.
What ANet is doing IS a lottery, and IIRC outside lotteries/contests aren't "legal" in Quebec - for Canadian contests it might be another thing (although I've seen contests ads on TV in FRENCH that we couldn't participate in). Therefore the minipet and Halloween contests aren't valid here.
So for it to work here, Anet would have to negotiate with the Régie or create a special contest only for us in collaboration with them.
It sucks, but meh, I'll get over it. Just sucks that we get shafted out of every contest along the lines. >_<

So is this a one time entry thing? Or do we have to enter once every month for as long as the contest lasts?

Instead of registering individually. Couldn’t they have just programmed a random selector that searches all IGN in use and selected the winners this way? Then all individuals with an account would be part of it and correct me if I am wrong they could side step all these laws for eligibility?

If Anet is really smart, they'll snail mail out the codes to make sure the address is legit.

Wow, I guess by complaining enough, we actually got something. This is the one and only time I will say, non-sarcastically, Way To Go QQers!
