Argh! I won’t talk about the RACJ. Every time I do, I become mad. Not good for my health…

@JBP: italy was excluded too because they had to go through a lot of bureaucratic hooks, and also deposit cash for the prize. i am sure Google lawyers went through all the documents, in any case, if they found Quebec hazardous, it’s not their fault.

@Fred Brunel you are more than welcomed to make an android app for blitzweekend :-)

will take about it later…

I think making an Android app for the Blitzweekend, is a great idea.

Ok, we can’t win the $25,000 but I think there is more to win if the app is good.

JBP – Thanks for digging figures. So that would be $50k for Google, or $5k for Netflix, on top of the hassle of registering.

Scanning that document, there are specific rules in case the prize is a trip, a vehicle or a swimming pool. It’s shocking that this would also be applied to contests like the ones we’re discussing.
