As all of you are aware, Fender is giving away the prototypes to the American Special Strat (both models) and the American Special Tele. Well, I went to enter my name in the giveaway only to notice in the rules that this giveaway is only good for residents of the US minus Rhode Island, which is where I live. Just what the hell is up with that? This is not fair as far as I'm concerned.


I don't know the whole Rhode Island rule but if you look on this thread page or page 2 there are 2 different threads about the same issue.

Cheers,

CC

For your information, I do live in Rhode Island which is part of the United States, and here is what it says concerning my state's participation in this contest;
5. ELIGIBILITY: Employees of Fender or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or agencies, or members of their immediate families, or persons living in same household of each, are not eligible to enter or win. Entrants must be thirteen (13) years of age or older to participate. The Sweepstakes is subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted by law. The Sweepstakes is open to only to legal residents of the United States of America, excluding residents of Rhode Island.

Baffled mate, so Hawii and others ain't exempt but you are, :?

I don't suppose that Rhode Island has secretly joined Canada?

Sorry to hear that you are excluded. Maybe Rhode Island has a law that sees contests as some sort of gambling.

I was at the Lighthouse at a place called Twin Rivers last fall. Great club area and tons of people. Maybe it's against their gaming rules?

If you're not wild about Rhode Island's unusual requirements for registering online giveaways of this nature, try calling your congressman and ask that that obscure restriction be lifted!
