Lol. You have fun with that, big guy.
Just take 5 minutes and create a Facebook account, Search for Diablo, like it, and enter.I, unfortunately, don't have a FB account. So my chance of winning will remain 0.
There's nothing saying you need an active Facebook account with 1000 friends to enter You put an email on your entry form, so you probably don't even have to check that Facebook ever again.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age"
Yea just created an FB account for the sole purpose of entering this. I hope you're still eligible to win if you have no pic/group/network/posts/friends :P

Only been out 1 day and odds are already 1 in a million. (1 in over a million XD)
Entered! I doubt if I'll win, but it's worth a shot. My chances are just as good as anybody else's. =) Thanks for the link.

Its actually because you have more rights than the people able to enter. Your country has some sort of legal requirements for raffles or lotteries that means you are more protected and have the right to [something] in this regard. Blizzard cannot (or will not) comply with these legal requirements under the form that most of these raffles and lotteries have.
The over 13 requirement is due to COPPA, and has nothing to do with the rating (whchc, if I'm not mistaken, doesn't apply to a limited beta version, which is more likely unrated)
As indicated in my reply to merujo above, this is not discrimination, its blizzard being unable to legally provide the contest/raffle/lottery in certain countries - either due to the selection method, the prize or other requirements that Blizzard have to put in to prevent being liable for *whatever*.
The License agreement of the D3 Beta specifically requires you to acknowledge that it is a beta software,, and that it can cause system failure or data loss, and that you agree to not hold blizzard responsible for such system failure or data loss (iow; cave emptor - play at your own risk)

If you can't stand the thought of being main stream by having facebook, try reading the FAQ, I can guarantee that it isn't main stream doing so
''Q. Do I need a Facebook account to enter this promotion?
A. No. While entering with a Facebook account will provide you with some additional benefits, such as sharing if you've won with your friends, you don't need an account to participate. If you'd like to enter, but don’t have a Facebook account (and don't want one), you can click on the "Alternate Method of Entry" link at the bottom of the official rules page''
If anyone happens to get one and doesn't want it or something, I'd be a happy squealing fanboy if I was gifted one!
I want blizz to know that Quebec residents are eligible to this give away, that there are no law that forbids it, how can I let them know?
---------- Post added 2011-10-13 at 01:00 PM ----------
It's just that blizz like copy/paste and don't want to bother checking the laws of every country in the world. Where they know they have been forbiden before, they will just never let any of these countries participate.

Who uses Facebook anymore? Isn't Facebook just for advertisers like used car lots, and Rent to Own centers to have a page?

Germany/Belgium can, but Netherlands cant? .. lame ass Blizzard.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange Aeons even Death may die.
My boyfriend is in love with Diablo..and got me hooked too. He MIGHT just marry me on the spot if I got into the beta. So I really hope I get in before he does if either of us manage to.
damn Iceland cant enter stuff like this.. cant even use RaF in wow.
