Win-a-custom-video news
Added 2018-09-25 19:21:24 +0000 UTCHey my lovelies!
I just wanted to let you know that this month the win-a-custom-video thing will take place as usual (so anyone pledging $1 or more in September will participate in the draw, and the winner will get the video).
However, a Patreon support guy contacted me saying that this draw breaches their Terms, so I'll probably have to stop it starting from next month. I'm not 100% sure yet if it's the only way out - I'm still discussing things with him.
Anyways, I just wanted to keep you updated! I'll post more news when anything clears out.

its due to the varying laws about gambling in different countries

2018-09-30 22:06:48 +0000 UTCits not that new its been around for about 6 months its just hard for them to inforce due to so many creators. the other issue is there's no report button for lottery's either so there is no way to report the more malicious raffles

2018-09-30 22:06:16 +0000 UTCWell im sure u gonna make the right choice and everything will be fine.
2018-09-26 03:12:57 +0000 UTCthere is certainly a way around it.. as Alaradla said.. I really liked the Idea of this kind of lotery... I've seen other Patreon do the exact same as you... I wonder if this is new politics... idk, this seems off... maybe somebody complained after not winning hahaha

2018-09-26 01:14:16 +0000 UTCwhat i think you can do is just say that any one pledged at any tier to you has a chance of winning and remove it from the one dollar pledge and just put it in your overview and that should get around it. due to their wording of "In the past, we used to allow raffles but we have recently decided to take a stronger stance against reward tiers and goals that involve any kinds of giveaway." if any one wants to read the policy more <a href="https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204199489-Can-I-offer-a-raffle-as-part-of-a-reward-" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204199489-Can-I-offer-a-raffle-as-part-of-a-reward-</a>

2018-09-26 01:09:30 +0000 UTCno tis a good thing a lot of channels instead of having actual rewards just had raffles on everything so it was kinda crappy. the way art of sound does it is more of a bonus not the main reward which is why its not terrible like a lot of other ones

2018-09-26 01:08:27 +0000 UTCWait... What? What do you mean breaches their terms.. what does that even mean? We have tiers for a reason.. That's stupid....
2018-09-26 00:42:25 +0000 UTCYea, seems rather strange. Everyone gets the same value. One lottery ticket... hope you'll be able to keep it π
