If you look down the winners page there are so many people who have not claimed, well why dont they?
Do they get banned?
Do the leave to a foreign country and enver know?
Are they just stupid?

I am goin with a bit of all three, maybe a higher percentage on the leaving country thing, lol.

I just think mayb that SR could auction them off or something, that way they could make a little bit more money couldn't they.
Or do you get fiends who try and say they are that person, but it was an old account, i know it happened to me once, instead of putting my name as Sir Auorn as some of you may remember, they had Cloud Strife, my very first GAD name so after contacting them they sent me the game, i could have been lying, but how would they know? Thankfully i wasn't lying and they should trust me still!

*Note* thsi shoudl not encourage people to try this, they will find out, SR are like Big Brother, they are everywhere, so don't cheat

lol. Back to the point, have any of you every forgotten about a claim or been banned and then been unbale to claim a game?

Auctioning off a game that would otherwise be given away free?

They'd prefer it if nobody claimed their games!

Save a lot more money!

If you have won GAD fairly without cheating, and then you get banned, you can still claim your GAD. If your GAD win is found to be copied or any other banning offence is linked with the post, you will not be giiven the game. Simple, don't cheat.
