Thanks for posting about the promo, it worked for me (Canada). If you ever get games or other digital download content/keys from Amazon.com which are listed as US-only, as others may have pointed out already you can use a fake US address since nothing is being mailed to you anyway it's just a formality. Make up a city name or pick one, and use 90210 or any other zip code as your postal code and you'll be able to complete the transaction. Before doing this with anything you're actually paying money for however it is a good idea to get confirmation from others that the game or product will actually work in Steam or whatever in your given region. Having said that, if you're anywhere in North America and something is listed US-only, it probably will work in Canada+Mexico and possibly elsewhere anyway. To date every single product I've got from Amazon which was US-only, works in Canada even though that isn't stated anywhere. Just do your homework for your own country/continent first if you're buying something. For freebies it isn't a big deal either way.

Why nobody gets suspended for suggesting how to do an illegal action by bypassing regional restrictions?
Comment has been collapsed.
maybe because everybody is doing it
and besides:
1.its not like suggestingcoughpiracy*
2.amazon doesnt seem to really give much fuck about it
But if you like to pay way more just to go oh so 100 legal (decided by greedy fuck publisher) then good for ya, Im gonna stick with many others who are using fake us adress on Amazon and are happy with it :)

Calling out and begging gets insta- suspended, but no problem at suggesting how to do a federal offense.
logic

I've seen people post how to bypass the region restriction in forums where an Amazon representative posts and he has never asked anyone to remove those posts. So it seems they are aware of this and they make no effort to stop it. In cases like this it looks worse because it's for free but the same method works if you want to buy a steam game from amazon.

Even when everybody are doing it, it's still a violation. Also i couldn't care less about Amazon giving a crap or not, it just makes me smile that an overzealous moderation like here passes on a highly illegal practice.
It's also amusing how people buy from Amazon to save a couple of dollars, but of course only publishers are the greedy ones.

So if someone was on vacations in the USA, would it be a violation to buy a physical game there to take to your home country? And developers are kind of greedy, why charge more to some people if they're ok with charging less somewhere else?

Nonsense. Providing a fake billing address when buying online is a crime regardless of the store or purpose, it is actually a crime punishable with jail time, just like it is giving a fake ID to someone.
And yes, if you break restriction to pay less you are not less greedy than publishers.

Well, first of all, as a Brit, I can't particularly be expected to have any idea what US federal law does or does not say about many, many things. Sometimes, the feds themselves don't even know it seems. I know this site's rules, so I can enforce them. If we don't know something, we can't even consider if it is necessary to enforce it. If there is an issue that could get Steamgifts into legal trouble, please point it out in as much detail as you can and we will investigate it, but you must also remember that there are numerous ways to legally have a US billing address without ever even visiting the country.

Address fraud. I do know for sure that in US this is a federal offense.
I don't know about country specific laws, but here in Italy is against the law to provide a fake billing address and i'm pretty positive about being illegal in most countries, since the Billing Address is used for taxation purposes; providing a fake one means evading taxes, at least that's what our law regulates here.

I'll pass it on, though as I said, there are many ways to legally have a US billing address.

tresher3253:well it is in that country and its another way in others
beside i still dont see the feds crashing the door on me and taking me to court because I dared to use a fake adress on amazon. Also, I live in a totally another country so yeah
yawn lawyer trolls like you are getting really boring, feel free to share your wisdom with us, mr justice bringer. I bet you never downloaded illegally or tried to bypass a region locked offer, dont you? sarcasm
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure but i'm smart enough to not brag about how i tricked the system and encouraging others to do the same. You know, is like showing on facebook some photos of me blowing a blunt with YOLOSWAG hashtagged all over the place and be surprised when someone actually do something about it.
Of course nobody is going to crash in your house, you can do whatever the fuck you want, but don't come here crying when Amazon or Steam changes their policy and start taking action for it by banning or removing games, and the same applies when publishers want to region lock their games. Better safe than sorry.
Last, before spewing shit you should check your regional laws because unless you live in a butthole in the third world your country will quite probably have some laws regard providing false informations.

If you really think that Amazon would gladly make a literally suicide move from economical view and drifting away lot of users then your incredibly stupid.Also I wasnt bragging about it, I just stated something common that happens everywhere

Thanks for uploading a video! Your Thief Gold code is:
And there is no code. Jade, please stop deleting the giveaways as its not available for free for all of us, i would like to remember the time i used to play Thief Deadly Shadow but i was to young to even understand whats going on :)
Anyways if anybody knows a fix for this or whats causing it, please post here so everybody knows

If you really, really want to help, find someone who can't get it and privately give them a key. Otherwise, you're profiting from it with CV.

Sorry if i suggested something against the rules, but as i said i was hoping to get one for myself and i managed to get it, so i'm rather happy right now. I will delete my post if its infringing the rules in any way, i really didn't mean anything bad
Comment has been collapsed.
If jade is deleting them its likely because it says in the TOS of the contest:
"Do not distribute, sell or rent the Game (or any part of it) to anyone else;"
Amazon could call up some lawyers and try to shut a site down thats handing them out if it wishes.
Comment has been collapsed.
Also because people are exploiting the crap out of this. As I said earlier, I'm also suspending for multiple copies.

Link to the description of the promo: here (thanks to BrandeX and babloyi)
Direct link to where you fill your info: here.
Steps:
Some users are reporting not getting any code, others get a message saying that the codes are all gone for now and some are still getting codes so you're mileage may vary.
