Yes.

Plot twist- Gw releases nothing in 2022 due to plastic shortages

So they can anticipate rules abuse, after all.

From the legal page, it looks like they only have it lumped into two different areas and prizes to satisfy the different legal requirements in different countries.

GW have run various similar contests in the past - the reader's survey way back in the day that had one person win a copy of every boxed set currently (at that time, obviously) in production, and the 'win the height of a Space Marine in miniatures' one from the slightly less distant past jump to mind. Those only had a single winner, and I don't recall anyone ever claiming before that this was an issue.

It's a contest to win some stuff. That's better than not having a contest to win some stuff.

I mean in jurisdictions like Canada and the US where you can only get one entry, it's not fair to lump them in with the brits who can get an entry for every 10 pounds they spend.

Which is presumably why they haven't.

Although for as long as I can remember, that's how Australian-run promotions have run down here. When I was a kid cereal companies used to frequently run promotions where you had to collect a certain number of tokens off the box and post them in for a chance to win something. You could generally enter as many times as you wanted... except if you lived in South Australia where that sort of thing wasn't allowed, and you could instead submit a single entry usually consisting of a drawing of the cereal box.

Fair or not, it's just one of those things that comes from different jurisdictions having different rules around how contests like this can work.

I imagine that GW’s legal team is on a rather different wage scale than their rules monkeys…
