Some Twitter users know that this will mean entire servers will be filled with Dream skins. They are not wrong. The DreamTeam is well known to many Minecraft players. Here are some of the tweets on the same:

Other users are just happy to be involved. This is an easy way to win money and support the streamer. All that is required is buying Minecraft and wearing his skin.

Dream can't possibly see everyone on every available server. The winner will definitely be a random choice, and it may help if some players go straight to a server that Dream is known to frequent.

Dream is in some legally murky waters in the US

Many YouTubers know that giving things away is not as easy as it sounds. In the US, what Dream is doing is not legal. It will only take a portion of the people viewing his tweet to get him in trouble.

Dream has neglected this and should be wart. It disregards the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). A purchase is not necessary for this to be considered illegal.

just realized this competition is only for java so im taking one for the team goin in the server wearing ALL three of these colors

VOUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Many YouTubers disagree with how stringent these rules are, but those are the laws. All of this because Dream wanted to give out free money and love to his fans.
