I asked in the giveaway thread but I guess in here might be better(?), I've been having an issue with entering giveaways that restrict "No juniors allowed" even though I'm not one.
Thanks for the report. It's possible that this is because it's an old giveaway from before we applied the latest patches.There seems to be some kind of bug if you try to claim a prize from a raffle that has ended.
Tried with this one:
And got this error:
Oh no D: I don't know why that happened. It was a fresh code, too. I am so sorry.cptodin Won 2064, but it told me the code was already redeemed. Thanks anyway! ^^
It's really no big deal at all; I appreciate the thought behind the gift the most. It not working is disappointing, but whatever. Though, since it doesn't work anyway, I suppose there's really no harm in doing this at all: The code was supposed to be 9NGR3-Z5I0R-HWX72 right? Because that's what I tried. Were there any typos/was it a different code left on the clipboard by mistake perhaps from something else and that might be what the problem is maybe? Because otherwise, yeah, I definitely am getting an already redeemed message on that. But other than that, no big deal since I understand these things happen and all.Oh no D: I don't know why that happened. It was a fresh code, too. I am so sorry.
I will have a look into it and get back to you tomorrow
My understanding is that only third party stores like amazon do codes, and not all eshop games can be found on third party stores.Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how can I buy a digital Switch game and get it as a download code rather than it just downloading to my Switch? I'd like to start a raffle for one.
Definitely not! Has it allowed you to do so? Please point out the giveaway if so.Not sure if this is a bug or not, but should you be allowed to enter your own giveaways?
As weemadarthur mentioned, online retailers (not the eShop) offer Switch game codes as purchase options.Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how can I buy a digital Switch game and get it as a download code rather than it just downloading to my Switch? I'd like to start a raffle for one.
Please let me know if anyone else in that same giveaway experienced similar problems, as it might indicate a bug on our end.Oh no D: I don't know why that happened. It was a fresh code, too. I am so sorry.

Though at the very least 2064 is definitely going on my wishlist if nothing else since it somehow wasn't and that definitely looks like a very cool game.

We'll work on that and should have one up within the next day or so.
If you mouse over them on desktop it will bring up a tooltip.
This is a raffle that will expire in 12 hours. The winner will be drawn at random! Any prizes leftover after the deadline will become available on a first-come first-serve basis.
Just to make sure nothing breaks, I would recommend cancelling this giveaway (through your giveaways page) and simply recreating it.Oops sorry, meant to post this in giveaway thread. Could this be moved please?
Thanks
Hmmm that's strange.I just posted a giveaway here, and I included a URL to the OT in it. However it didn't end up as a URL. Can a mod edit it to fix that please?
I see, thanks. I just pasted the URL, I assumed it would show correctly.Hmmm that's strange.
We actually can't edit giveaway messages unfortunately, but we'll definitely look into why the URL isn't properly rendering.
What I was able to do was add a proper link at the end of the post! Hope that helps.I see, thanks. I just pasted the URL, I assumed it would show correctly.
Is it possible to see how many people participated in my giveaway?
If you won a giveaway during the same month that the giveaway was created, you cannot enter. Presumably the giveaway was created last month.What does the "this calendar month" restriction mean? It's now a new month and I'm still unable to enter a giveaway with that restriction. Does it refer to a timezone that's different from mine? Or does it actually mean "last 30-31 days" or something else?
Should be fixed now.The older first-come-first-served closed giveaways still display on the Active giveaways tab. Is there a way now that that bug has been addressed, to correct the database entries and make them all list themselves where they belong?
I see. Is that consistent with the other restrictions? I was under the impression all the other restrictions are tested against the time someone enters a giveaway, not the time the giveaway was created. It also leads to a confusing error message imo. If a 24-hour giveaway was created on Sep 30th and someone enters on Oct 1st, they get an error saying, "Nope, you won something this calendar month", even if they hadn't won anything in October.If you won a giveaway during the same month that the giveaway was created, you cannot enter. Presumably the giveaway was created last month.
Oh we can do even better than that!One suggestion or update I really really REALLY would like to have is to show how many entrants were in a giveaway once it ends.
So ever since this most recent update, I can't seem to enter any giveaways, at least on my phone. I've tried both Firefox for Android and Chrome and neither seem to let me select any games.

Apologies, this should be fixed now.
This should also be fixed.
This is a first-come first-serve giveaway. Any claimed prize will instantly be delivered.
