I bought key some days ago. Support of internet shop say key is restricted but original seller say it's region free. I'm trust to seller more than shop. I know it's not allowed to make additional rulers for gibs but is it possible in this case? I thought to write that key could be region restriction in description that and I'll forced to ask for reroll if it really is.
So, is it possible to reroll a winner if the key was found to be region restriction?

I know the sg moderators tend not to reroll as there is a reasonable chance the same thing may happen to the next winner as I have encountered this issue before. They will probably advise you to remake the giveaway with region restrictions.

If it turns out to be region restricted you need the consent of the winner to delete the giveaway and create a new giveaway with the proper region restriction.

If you explain in the giveaway description most of the times a winner will agree to it, but that's not a guarantee. You could also play safe and create a giveaway with region restriction in the first place.

Am I understand you correctly that I have 2 allowed ways.

  1. First way is to create giveaway with regions restriction (it makes no difference whether this is true or not).
  2. Second way is to create giveaway with description that I'll forced to delete giveaway if it's found as regions restrion. I'll need choose first way after.

indeed, but if you pick the second option just know a winner is not obliged to allow you to delete the giveaway.

No, you cant force anyone to agree with deletion.
but most people are understanding and would let you do that.

so its best to ask the winner if they are OK with deleting the giveaway. If they are OK with it, ask Support to delete the giveaway (write a ticket).
Then you can create a new Giveaway with the correct region restriction.

You can write it in the description (it's not really enforceable though) but I don't think support will grant you a reroll, they'd most likely delete the GA if it turn out that it's region restricted.

With 1 of my GAs, even with region restricted and description to "Only X country", people from other countries in the same region won and I needed their permission to delete a GA they cannot win, after 2 tries I made friends only.

Don't worry about region and description, make a invite only and share with your friends, people don't read.
