About Giveaways
🕑 Added 2022-02-07 16:30:26 +0000 UTCJust a quick FYI, we are no longer allowed to do giveaways here on Patreon. We went through and redacted any reference to giveaways in previous posts at Patreon's request and will no longer be holding any giveaways here. We are sorry for all those that enjoyed them, and we hope to find other ways to provide additional content (and ask you silly questions). Thanks!

Did the March 1 payments get processed? I don't see mine/didn't get a receipt?

"Comment for the fun of it on this topic......... Who knows? You might get Extra stuff with your package? More than likely you will not, but you just might..... If you do, let us know in the comments!"

or "extra rewards" for one lucky Patron...

Who said anything about Giveaways? I thought these were best "random comment" contests?

I get it. Patreon is international and I know that those giveaways are illegal here in Québec (even though I participated and won, once, thus turning Button Shy into criminals). I suppose they could easily be run on the discord (which means I would not be likely to notice them, but that is life).

It's against Patreon's terms, and the reason for that is varying legality of doing giveaways that have an entry fee (e.g. in some US states it's counted as gambling and therefore illegal). In the case of Patreon, simply being a patron counts as paying an entry fee.

lame (not button shy, obviously)
Matthew Greene
Out of curiosity, what was the reasoning?

You could always hint at something where you give things to people at a very low price ($free) over on discord.

Aw that's a shame. Welp you probably have a good reason so it's all good!
