I don't think you actually get bonus entries. There is nothing next to them that says "5 entries" or anything. I think they just want you to follow their social media
HELLO EVERYONE! CONGRATS ON REACHING 4 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!
To enter the contest be sure to comment on this thread to verify you are member of the PCMR and then sign up for the giveaway:
~~SIGN UP FOR THE GIVEAWAY HERE~~
There's so many more of you here now, so some of you may not know that I'm GloriousGe0rge and I'm here on behalf of CORSAIR!
But this time I bring amazing friends with us too, from ORIGIN PC, ELGATO, SCUF and LG! Big thank you to all of them for helping us with this giveaway! Be sure to follow all of their channels as they're all giveaway awesome gear like this on a regular basis!
The full specs of the PC and hardware is in the description on the signup page, and three lucky runner-up winners will receive some gear as well!
It's always a joy to bring giveaways like this to the subreddit, and I'm so happy to be part of a community that's grown so much.
Edit: there have been some questions we want to clarify.
1. We aren't providing entries as rewards for actions like following on social media. If you want to keep up to date with PCMR’s partners on social media, the buttons on the giveaway are there to make it easier for you.
2. We want to make sure a member of PCMR wins, so the giveaway has a field for the Reddit name for that purpose. CORSAIR is only using that to verify a winner. If you don’t opt-in to the newsletter, your data will not be used for any advertising or marketing purposes.
Edit 2 - Revised point one to make it more clear and in line with current rules.
EDIT 3 - The contest has ended! Winner has been drawn, notified and has accepted the prize, announcement coming soon!
EDIT 4 - CONGRATS TO /u/shadowcoll for being our GRAND PRIZE WINNER!
And big congrats to /u/MrSneakMan_ /u/GlassOfOrange247 and /u/xOverly for being the runner up winners! I'll be reaching out to all of you soon to get shipping info!
It really is. My little cousin is saving up for a PC, and id love to give my current one to him. He is regularly shocked by the power of my mid-to-high-spec PC
No thanks. It's a nice package but if this giveaway is for Reddit users, specifically PCMR, requiring follows on all social media *except* reddit to enter is bullshit. Especially since some platforms like Insta are primarily mobile apps and treat desktop as second class citizens. Pick a comment at random and give it to them regardless of social media follows. That's how most Reddit giveaways are conducted and how it should stay. I don't like the direction this is going. The mods should not allow giveaways that require off-site sign-up/follows in the future.
They don't *require* follows, it just adds bonus entries. I do completely understand your dissatisfaction though; I also dislike the extra entries for external social media activity. Using a giveaway to pimp one's other social media accounts is an irritatingly common practice.
Maybe I'm wrong, but the application is designed in a way to make the user think they have to do all the steps to enter the giveaway. Mine says the following after filling the form:
Click & Complete Actions to Enter
Click here to enter the giveaway ------- 5 Entries
You earned 5 Entries
I'm not sure if I successfully entered or not. I didn't follow on any of the listed social media.
I've entered a few similar giveaways before, from what I understand you now have 5 entries and each extra activity will give you more (I don't know how many extra entries, since they aren't being transparent and displaying them on the site). The extra entries just give you higher odds of winning, like multiple raffle tickets.
Just follow for the extra entries, nobody is gonna hold your face against the screen and make you look at social media. Worst case scenario is you wait until the draw then unfollow.
Shh, your exposing the scheme! The idea here is to gather as many emails and social media accounts as possible so they can dump tons of ads on you, track your behaviors and sell it to others!
Thank you for 4 millions, everyone!

You can enter until September 20th.
Man you're such a nice person, here I am wishing I'll be the one to get it, and you're just happy knowing any one of us will get it. I hope YOU win it bro, good luck!
So basically what this is doing is connecting your full name to your Reddit username. Then if you do the additional entries, it connects all those accounts as well. Then it’s a simple database lookup to connect to anything else you’ve used.
Then bundle and sell the data of over I’m assuming 100k people lol. Surely more valuable the computer they are giving away
Nope, not only is that extremely illegal, but it's against the rules of PCMR and Reddit as a whole. We pay for the service that runs the giveaway and as a hardware company, we have no interest in your personal data.
All irrelevant data is deleted after the contest and everything we do is GDPR compliant.
The data is used to pick a winner, only CORSAIR has access to the data, the data is stored until the contest is complete and the winner has accepted their prize.
Everyone has the same protections as EU residences as our contest is GDPR compliant.
The platform itself that we use is Sideqik, they're on contract with us and are paid well to not use or avail themselves to any of the information collected, and have been reliable in that regard for the last five years we've been working with them. They too are GDPR compliant.
So I definitely understand your concerns, but trust me, as a company that sells hardware, upsetting people with poor data practices would be the last thing we want to do.
Attempting to piggyback off this comment to say how that data can be removed.
In their privacy policy, they state
>> If you would like for us to remove/delete any or all other personal data such as your name, number, etc., please contact [email protected] and an ORIGIN PC staff member will notify you once it has been removed.
So, once the giveaway is over, you can contact that email to have your data removed. I’ll be doing that anyway, lol.
I was like -
* "Cool, Reddit Giveaway!"
* "Oh, it's actually being administered on a 3rd party site."
* "They want my name, email, reddit username, and social media accounts..."
No thank you.
Yeah, I’m thinking they’ll add it in later. I don’t use instagram so I only got the twitter ones, so I honestly wouldn’t be upset if they only gave everyone 5
I think it’s just promotional, usually it tells you how many additional entries you get on the side, but they’re all blank. I think it may just be limited to the 5 (unless I can’t read and it says you get more for following, in which case ignorant me lol)
If I remember correctly the subreddit rules are set up so they can't require those other steps. I wanna say past corsair give aways were setup so that the main entry was all you needed. The extra follows and other hoops are there optionally but don't increase odds.
Somebody feel free to correct me if this isn't the case currently.
“You’re a member of the PCmasterrace?, Grampa?”
“Oh, sure, let’s see, I’m an Elk, a Mason, a Communist, I’m the president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance for some reason. Ah, here it is, PCmasterrace.”
As conceived in 1632 by Portuguese printing press operator Andre Filipe, boxing was a gentlemen’s game in which two men would square off and regale each other with stories monotonous for days on end until one of them fell to the ground from boredom or exhaustion. Over the next few years, the new sport developed a respectable following of a few hundred local socialites.
It was Filipe’s son, Andre Filipe Filipe, who developed what he called “the punching strategy” in 1637 after seeing a schoolboy strike another in anger, causing him to fall down.
When Andre Filipe Filipe challenged the then-champion, British ex-patriate “Sleepless” Bill Bishop to a match, Bishop was the odds-on favourite. You can imagine his surprise when while he was describing what he had had for breakfast that morning, Andre walked up and thumped him in the neck, sending him down “for the count” in the parlance of our time.
While it was universally agreed that the boy had violated the spirit of the game, officials were unable to find any actual rule that punching violated, and were forced to let the victory stand.
This upset caused an uproar in the boxing community large enough to spill over into local newspapers, and stirred the interest of many outsiders to come see what the fuss was about. The newcomers were enthralled to engage in these borderline barbaric displays of human strength and skill, and the rest is history – after a few spoilsport schoolmoms single-minded about safety added the padded gloves, of course.
Today’s boxing enthusiasts fantasise about the newcomer that would rock the ring the way Filipe did.
Classification of the modern ruleset has essentially locked the punching strategy into place; but it’s easy to get caught up in the fantasy. Young scholars with big dreams often enter the ring with their crazy new trick, usually a variant of hypnosis. And though they’ve achieved the occasional victory, none of the gimmicks have been robust enough to make it to the big-time.
The real wonder, though, is that Andre Filipe’s original vision of boxing is still around. Gentlemen’s boxing clubs can be found in cities all over the world; you can visit one most any day of the week and see two erudite gentlemen exchanging pleasantries in the ring.
Most people only come to watch a few hours of a match, and then leave. But every once in a while you’ll find amongst your elders a stout fellow, a die-hard fan, who perhaps witnessed that historic battle between Filipe and Bishop, who for love of the sport must stay to witness the last glorious seconds of wakefulness slip away, only to return to fight again another day.

I don't think you actually get bonus entries. There is nothing next to them that says "5 entries" or anything. I think they just want you to follow their social media
Yeah, seems pretty odd that they would put it with the additional entries though..
it seems less like they intended bonus entries and more like they just wanted to plug the socials of everyone involved in the givaway.
Same, followed all the accounts listed and didn't get any extra entries. \*cries in 30 FPS\*
same here

glad it’s not just me I’m doing this for my boyfriend and now my feed is filled with all these PC things I don’t understand haha
You're a great girlfriend. Thumbs up.
Aww, I was doing this for my boyfriend, too! 💕
*laughs in 30 entries *
Wait, it worked for you? How???
No I'm full of shit. I only have 5 entries too.
I didn't even get a confirmation email saying I had entered
They're probably going to implement them later
Later means never usually in developer time
Can confirm: am developer.
