Hard one to call. If it was just you and other people like you who the rule was aimed at then I'd have no objection to you being a valid player, but the rule is there to stop hordes of "freeroll specialists" who grab the password from some website and are not a magazine subscriber and never will be. So you suffer for the carpetbaggers . Maybe the way round it, (if the freerolls are truly aimed at subscribers rather than anyone who just reads the magazine is for the prizes to only be distributed on the orders of the magazine when an email is received with the subscriber id and a name that comes close to the subscriber name with that on BlueSq. This would still allow (for example) married couples to both enter whilst weeding out the non-subscribers. Problem is it means more work for the magazine staff. That or a series of valid entry passwords on a use once then it's invalid basis (like the Walkers Crisp offer).
