▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Last Update: 15th Day Of June 2024

1.  It is against the rules to ask for likes, reputation, or vouchers in any way.
   
2.  It is prohibited to recruit people to join off-site community (discord servers , telegram channels & etc).
   
3.  The maximum period for a giveaway event is (1) one week.
   • Giveaways should always include a specified end date; failure to do so would consider the thread invalid.
     
4.  The winner(s) of a giveaway has a (3) three-day window in which they are to receive their respective prizes within.
   • If the user does not claim the prize within the allotted period, the host will be required to re-roll for a new winner.
     
5.  Failure to present giveaway winner(s) with their prizes within the allotted time will result in the original poster of the giveaway being penalized and their account sanctioned with a temporary account suspension for at least (1) one week.
   • If the host surpasses the allotted time they will be afforded one reminder in which they shall have a 24-hour grace period from the time of the aforementioned reminder in which they are to supply the winner with their prize.
     Failure to provide the winner with their prize before the end of the grace period afforded to them will result in a temporary account suspension.
     
6. If the giveaway prize is credits or money, then the minimum prize must be 10k credits or 10 USD (equivalent for other currencies).
   
7. One Active Giveaway per User at a Time.
   To promote fairness and organization within our community, we have implemented a rule that restricts users to hosting only one active giveaway at a time. This regulation prohibits users from initiating multiple giveaway threads simultaneously.
   For instance, if you plan to give away a total of $30, you should not create three separate giveaways, each valued at $10. Instead, combine the amount and host a single giveaway worth $30 in one thread. This method simplifies the giveaway procedure, ensuring that it is user-friendly and easy to comprehend for participants. Furthermore, this rule would prevent people from farming likes and reps by opening multiple giveaways.
   
8. Editing a giveaway to change its prize isn't allowed, doing so will result in a temporary ban and you will have to give away 2 x the original prize.
   
9. If the giveaway is sponsored, only the service owner (marketplace thread op) can open such a giveaway. However, in entry requirements, you cannot ask users to advertise for you, for example asking them to use your banner or asking them to say your service name.
   
10. The sponsor name in title of the thread is not allowed.
