January 9, 201016 yr Hey Tip.it, just a quick question that needs answering here. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but here it is: Runescape Membership Cards. As a fansite, are you allowed to host regular competitions to give them away? Say I make a Runescape fansite and host competitions in which people can win RS membership, is it legal even if I am not at all affiliated with Jagex? Is it against their rules?
January 9, 201016 yr I'm fairly sure it is illegal to re-distribute purchased goods in that way.Most countries even charge a tax on such prize draws. Plus you're liable to accusation of scamming due to lack of provability in you having sent the cards.

Ask them, see if they have a problem with it. I doubt they will, as it doesnt really matter to them who pays. They make money the same either way, infact, its more likely to make them more money if you getting f2p guys that CANT pay getting them. The scamming issue is by the by, as its not taking place on a Jagex site so its out of their remit. If anyone would get involved in that situation it would be the police, and at that point its easily proved it was sent out by getting a mail reciept.

While I'm waiting, does anyone else have any input? Preferably some Tip.it staff?
