Question about the rules - special action

Closed

Marked this as off-topic because I'm not sure where to put it even though it seems on-topic.

The rule is as follows.
"You cannot ask users to perform any special action in order for their entry to be considered valid, such as liking a Facebook page, or following a Twitter account."

But technically you could create a steam group to promote something like a facebook/twitter/youtube and as a requirement you could ask people to join your steam group right? Even if your steam group has no continued relation with giveaways and is purely a promotional tool for other endeavors.

You can't open a GA and pretend the participants do something for you.

But you can open a GA and share it only with people who did something for you.

In other words: if you ask for something and winner won't do it, there will be no rerolls.

Well, maybe beside asking to check their mail for gift :P

ie:
"only enter if you are from UK and like my facebook. i will reroll everyone else."

= no reroll :3
