^This.

Region-restricted keys are against the SG TOS, so putting up a giveaway with one of these keys would be a bannable offense.

The Raptr staff is currently working something out in order to give "universal" keys to the winners.

Therefore i support SG to lock contribution points by gifting Dead Island in the near future.

Nope, let them make giveaways, let the giveaway end and winner mark as received. AND THEN DELETE THE GIVEAWAY. Win win win.

If they're region-restricted, aren't they against the rules to put on the site anyway?

Other than that, since there was a limited number of the keys, they should be okay for people to put up.

Yup, got one but actually only acvtivatable in NA. Heard they would try to sort out this and maybe then they would be ROW. Seems to be a problem that Raptr didn't know of beforehand, might be DeepsSilver's fault.

How can you tell if you have a region locked game to put in a giveaway or if you win a giveaway? Where exactly does it say that on the game page? I mean I buy all my games from the US page and I understand some of them are possibly locked for other countries. I don't want to inadvertently have a winner from another country where its locked. Nor do I want to enter one thats locked for US.

So, yah, how can I be sure?

For keys, unfortunately the only way is asking people who tried it out. Either by asking the country of people who reported having tried to activate a certain key from a certain website and got a region lock message, or by asking the ones who successfully activated these keys the name of its subscription (in the example of Raptr's giveaway, it was "Dead Island GOTY (NA+ROW)"). With the name of the subscription you can check Steam cdr websites that give you information regarding region locks.

A Raptr admin said on a forum that there is no region lock. I've heard otherwise, but wouldn't you trust them over all?

What I saw on their forums was that there wasn't supposed to be a region lock, and that they were looking into it.

Some people in some countries outside of the US have said that they've registered it (seemingly without any Steam policy violating trickery), while others say that they get hit by the region restriction.

Dead Island Region locked issue
We are aware that the codes are currently region locked.
We're reaching out to our partner and working on a solution as it was not the intent for them to be region locked.
Please hang in there, this may take time but it WILL be made better.

There were not infinite numbers of these keys issued. Not all Dead Island keys we'll see will be from Raptr. We already have rules against region locked keys, so no additional measures should be required. It's up to the gifter to provide a region-free key. If they do not, regardless of the reason, deal with the gifter in the way that the rules dictate.

Dead Island keys are in exploit list, so they are disallowed to beging with?

Isn't that just for the base game keys? I may be wrong, but I remember reading about a leak of Dead Island (base game only) keys or something like that some time ago, and that's why it's on the exploited list.

There was a group announcement in SG group. Keys from raptr are forbidden because of region lock and any other DI keys should get mod approval first...still on the exploited list.

It sure would suck to win a free copy of Dead Island. Thanks guys, for sparing me such a cruel fate.
