The Game Awards 2017 Giveaway - Participation Rules

These are rules of participation (the 'Participation Rules') for The Game Awards 2017 Giveaway (the 'Giveaway'). These rules supplement the terms of the Steam Subscriber Agreement in this context.

The Giveaway will be held during The Game Awards, aired on Steam Broadcasting, and begin and end at a time and date announced on Steam before the Giveaway (the 'Giveaway Period').

Valve reserves the right to cancel, terminate or modify the Giveaway if it cannot be operated, conducted or completed as planned.

1. Eligibility

The Giveaway is open to every Steam user over the age of 13 years, independent from country of residence.

Employees of Valve, its associates, affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, agents, successors, assigns and commercial partners authorized by Valve, or of other companies associated with the Giveaway, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings, and children, and each of their respective spouses) and household members of each such employee are not eligible.

2. Participation

2.1 Watching ‘The Game Awards 2017’ Broadcast

The Giveaway will be aired on Steam Broadcasting during the Giveaway Period. You enter the promotion by watching the Steam Broadcasting of the Giveaway (the 'Giveaway Broadcast') during the Giveaway Period while logged into a Steam Account that is not limited.

2.2 Alternative Entry via Post

To manually enter the Giveaway, each eligible entrant must print his or her name, address, city, state, country, postal code, email address, Steam account name (account can be limited or unlimited), and telephone number, as well as the name and date of the Giveaway that the entry is for, on a self-addressed 4”x6” note card and mail the completed form to: Valve Corporation, P.O. Box 1688, Bellevue, WA 98009-1688. Only note cards mailed in envelopes and postmarked during or within twenty-four hours after the Giveaway Period will be accepted. No e-mailed or faxed alternate entries are eligible. Facsimiles, photocopies or mechanical reproductions of entries will be void. Only one alternative entry per person. Proof of sending or submitting a note card is not proof of receipt of such alternate entry.

3. Prizes

The nature and the total number of prizes are announced before and during the Giveaway.

Winners will be selected at random from all viewers that are logged into the Giveaway Broadcast at the time of each draw. Each draw will be performed by a random computer process. Your odds of winning in the Giveaway depend on the number of Entrants and the total number of prizes. You are not eligible to win a game you already own, so if your account already owns all of the remaining game prizes available, you will not be eligible to win.

Prizes for alternative entry via post will be drawn separately within ten business days from the end of the Giveaway Period. The number and selection of prizes for such participants will be assessed prior to the drawing so that a participant’s odds of winning through watching the broadcast and participating via post are equal. Winners will be announced using their Steam persona name, on The Game Awards 2017 Giveaway prize page, 10 business days after the end of the Giveaway event.

The prizes are not substitutable and there are no cash alternatives to the prizes listed.

Decisions of Valve or its representative hosting the Steam Draw are final and binding. The winners will be notified by private message in their Steam Account mailbox. Prizes will be added to the Steam Account of the winners immediately after the winner has been announced.

4. Data Protection

Valve will collect and process the personally identifiably information of the viewers logged in during the Giveaway broadcast necessary to perform the Giveaway. This will include the time and duration during which Entrant is logged into the Giveaway Broadcast and any data recorded will be used exclusively for the conduct of the The Game Awards 2017 Giveaway Prize Draw. Valve’s Privacy Policy applies to Entrant’s use of its Valve Account. For further information click here.
