Show me Tv contest
« on: Sep 16, 2010, 07:46: AM »
Hey guys,

Can you help me please ?

My english isn't perfect and I have some difficulty for understand some things in that contest. Rules are not so explicit. I understand that : for win you've to receive SUPER VOTE (not free vote). If you win you don't win real money but money for the website.

"Free Votes don't require any payment but there's no opportunity to win money"

"HOW ARE THE PRIZES PAID?
Contest Prizes in ShowMe are awarded in GBP (£) and vary between contests. We transfer any winnings electronically to your ShowMe Credit, with exception to winnings accrued during the Shootout round of a contest. These winnings must be moved by the member from their "My Account", "Super Votes" section to their ShowMe credit prior to completion of the second and Final round of voting if the member chooses to cash their winnings prior to the completion of the second and Final round of voting. By not completing this action the member chooses to keep their Super Vote on-going throughout the second and Final round of voting, and has the chance to either lose all of their winnings if the participant voted on does not win the contest, or increase their winnings even more if the participant wins the contest. Any winnings sitting in a member's ShowMe Credit are able to be withdrawn, subject to any additional verification requirements we may require, as set out in these terms."

I'll put it into point form so it's easier to understand ;)

-The currency is in British pounds.
-Not all the contests prize money is the same.
-Any money you win goes to the sites credit system except the contest 'shootout rounds'
-The money you win must be moved from "my accounts" to "super votes" section. This should be done before the second and final rounds.
-You can choose to take your winnings, but if you don't, they automatically go to super vote.
-When it's in super vote, it is possible to lose all your winnings if you don't win the whole contest
-But if you win, you obviously get more
-If you have won anything, you can take those winnings as long as their terms are met.

This is the absolute worst system I have ever seen in my entire life.
Not the best psuedo-translation, but it's difficult to make it easier to read when it's already in plain english.
I hope this helps!

Peace.

Ok guys thanks a lot for you help, for me it's not a "real" contest with real money for the winner.

Thanks for your freestyle solidarity guys ;)
