As I was about to participate at the vrchat survey, I noticed they require you to be from the US or Canada.

I’m from France/Europe but I can speak English fluently. Is this limitation in place and not allowing anyone not from those countries to participate? Because I didn’t read about that when it got announced in the forum post.

I’d like some information about that.

Gift cards and such often have legal restrictions for being handed out as prizes/gifts as part of surveys so there was likely additional regulations that made the EU/France too complicated it include.

Maybe in the future as VRChat does more surveys this could change but for now its just how it is.

That would make sense. I would feel I would fill the form anyway, even if I don’t receive the card, but I’m unsure. I will see if some staff responds to the topic.

It was confusing to see an invitation limited to US/CA although in the first survey I stated where I’m from (Also EU).

I’m boosting this post as we didn’t get a proper response yet.  
Would be glad to get one, else I’ll send an official email and post the response here.
