Seems to me they lost money most days during this series, and theyre extending the time to pay out the envelopes so their numbers dont look insanely bad during that time frame of paying out overlay and postal requests without really raking anything back in.
seems like Global needs a little ring ring from the FTC and a kick in the ass to comply. Theyre the ones that chose the sweepstakes model and need to comply without making it unduly burdensome. Do not forget theyre in business to rake your money they HAVE to comply and do this or theyre an illegal lottery.
The delays and changes to the sweeps rules and support being as vague as possible at all times is just shady. Youre either confident in your business model and its sustainable or its not. You cant start taking edges on your player base in delays and saying these cards with lines do work but without lines dont work. Make you write out that you accept T&Cs and sweeps rules which youve already accepted just by participating (redundant, unnecessary and unduly burdensome) just to try to stop people from following the rules by which both parties are bound to per sweepstakes law. it just shows their house is not as strong as assumed. Either expedite the process or im sure the FTC will expedite it for you. Did you send your new sweeps rules to the FTC to be accepted first or were they just updated and are hoping no one challenges them so that they dont have to be changed back?
Law is law and rules are rules, it works both ways for both parties.
Totally agree, which is why I am doing 100 in a single month and also plan on getting proof that it was sent.
Looking at the USPS I believe THIS form
"PS Form 3606-D, Certificate of Bulk Mailing — Domestic, which can be used for domestic mailings of identical-weight pieces."
would suffice. Since it is only an envelope and one single identical index card it should be totally the same weight. The only reason a gray area site like Global/Chumba Casino exists is due to their No Purchase Necessary option. If they are going to not take this seriously then the Government will.
