  • Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and/or follow us on Twitter. (you can do either one of these to have the right to enter the contest but we suggest you do them both to have double chances to get picked.)
  • Make a comment for this article containing your Nickname that you used to subscribe to YouTube or follow us on Twitter (or both). Also provide us with a valid email address to send you the code in case you win.

That’s all you have to do. Simple, right? The contest starts right now and it will end Sunday when we will make the draw to find the 3 lucky winners.
