Just speaking for myself, but something tells me that could have been done better and more inclusive. 

Not entirely sure how. But I do imagine, it would have to do with taking into account the fan base bering very much international and spread out all over the globe.

    My guess is that this is due to legal restrictions.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    It should be explained we all pay the  same. 
    Do a different world wide one. Do something even small  but include everyone or dont charge international  members the same if different privileges.

    It may not be up to them, there are pretty strict rules on contests.  The band can't just do whatever they want when it comes to contests

    Then do something where everyone can be included?

    A Porche only has two seats. But if you have three kids in your family, you should have come home with e.g a SAAB 9-5 instead where the whole family can fit. The wife crying herself to sleep while dad talks about how Porche are pretty strict about the amount of seats in german sportscars.

    Don’t forget this isn’t a Ten Club members contest.  It’s open to anyone in the US and doesn’t require a membership. 

    They also posted a contact email in the sweepstakes rules.  An email to them might shed some light on why it’s US only.  Although I’m guessing it just a matter of logistics as every country has different rules on running these types of giveaways.

    It's odd that they ask you what country you are in when it is only available to US residents.

    What's the difference between this and the $100 gift card contest which is open to everyone?

    In many cases, contests are U.S. only because the contest sponsor must issue a tax form to the winner so that said winner can report certain winnings on their U.S. tax returns.

    These are not 10c member competitions. It's a competition open to anyone in the US. They probably don't want to pay international shipping and insurance etc. A lot of hassle shipping overseas especially when it's not been paid for. Had it been a members only competition and we all "sort of" pay the same they would have a hard time justifying excluding those outside the US. Its rubbish for us international fans but it was only to be expected as its been the same in recent years.
