I'm from Quebec, I can nearly never play contest for a simple reason, if I win, they have to pay taxes over the winning for me. That's not much and the likelihood that I win is still low, yet that amount scared them enough to ignore me in most contest.

I feel like that's going to be more an incentive to ignore EU resident if the fees are that high. Even with a huge security budget, mistakes are made, is it worth it to risk that much cash? Check any gaming console, they have a pretty big incentive to keep the security pretty high, yet failed to do it so often.
