But, it seems you've already found a solution, you've banned an entire country from using your service. <snip> Why can't people in China play? Unfortunately, we had a person in China who had written a program that would automatically submit tickets for 1,000 email addresses a day (or 10,000 tickets). We tried for many days to stop them in conventional ways, but for every stop that we put into place they would work their way around it. So the only way to stop them for sure was to say that anyone in China could never win. One bad apple does spoil the whole bunch. </snip> hehe The embedding a code in a graphic is a cool idea, maybe generate the graphic dynamically with a random code each time. -AD
