Do I Need to Include AMOE in International Giveaways?

AMOE (an alternative method of entry) matters when entering requires a purchase or payment. If entry is free, you don't need one.

For paid entry, requirements differ by country. We track these:

Country	AMOE required?
United States	Yes
Canada	Yes
Germany	Yes
Argentina	Yes
Australia	No, but permit rules can apply
UK	No
New Zealand	No
Belgium	No
Austria	No

In Gleam, you don't need to manage this by country. On any Action that needs payment, such as a Custom Action, switch on A Purchase or Donation is Required to Complete This Action. We add a free entry alternative to your Terms & Conditions and only show it to entrants in countries where it's required. Entrants who use it get the same entries as someone who paid.

For a global campaign, still check local rules for prize permits and age limits. This isn't legal advice, and laws change.
