Got a million gil and got confused

I made a new character recently in Oceania server, and when I reached level 30 I was rewarded with a million gil. What's up with that, and do you get the same amount of money for every new character that reaches level 30?

Only on preferred worlds! Don't spend it all at once :)

On new or preferred worlds you get it once per DC

So, let's say I create another character in the same world as the character that I recently got 1 million gil. It means that I won't get 1 million gil in my new character because I already got a million already in the other character, right?

I'm hoping this convinces more Aussies to transfer to be with their own people on Oceania servers.

Correct, you'd only get it on characters you made on a New or Preferred server, on a datacenter where you did not get the gil bonus before, on Oceania there is currently one.

I don't know about that, the bonuses for transferring aren't that good.

Yes, you won't get it on any of the Oceania servers at this point.

It says so right in the picture you quoted above.
"Limited to once per data server on a single service account."

So, 1,000,000 one time, for one entire data center, for any one account.

This seems like it would be insanely exploitable by the RMT farmers...and actually probably explains why there so many bots grinding to level 30 then vanishing on Materia.

Once per account limitations don't matter when they're constantly burning through them anyways.

I was wondering where that came from!
