Thank you,

Unless the total prize value is less than $2,000, you are required to register your contest with the Regie.

Further, the province’s Lotteries Act allows the Regie to require you to post security for contests open to Quebec residents where you do not have a place of business in Quebec, the value of any single prize exceeds $5,000 or the total prize value exceeds $20,000.

Either I'm reading that wrong or SE shouldn't have anything to worry about.

This provides security for the prizes until they have been awarded or until the Regie has been notified there are no winners in Quebec. Also, the rules and any advertising relating to the contest must be filed at least 10 days before the start of the contest, and should be filed in French unless the contest will be carried only in English media.

Franchisors should also be aware of the Regie’s imposition of a tax of 3% on the total prize value for national contests or 10% of the value of prizes allocated to Quebec residents, and there are penalties for late payments and late filings.

Would you manage that ? Sending long french paperwork to Régie at leats 10 days before the contest and pay taxes on value price ?

I might be (probably!) missing something here but:

PRIZES
Ten (10) winners will receive the scarf in-game item (item has no monetary value).

Or does the tax apply to any and all items, like a fixed value?
