What is the Sweepstakes app? It's asking to access a lot of information and I'm really not comfortable with that. I would love to enter the competition but I don't want to bombard my friend's list with some third party thing.

All these facebook thingies going on.
What about those who don't use facebook.
You can make a Facebook account in literally less than 5 minutes. You can have that account purely for things like this. No need to continue and go all out with a Facebook page - you just need to take a minute to make a quick Facebook so you can enter the contests.

What about those of us who don't use facebook? And no, I will
NOT
make an account just to enter a competition. I prefer to keep my social life in the
real
world. I'm extremely disappointed that the best prizes always seem to be via sites other than Runescape's own site. How about doing something for the people who are actually, you know,
playing
your game.
Facebook is simply a way for Jagex to advertise RuneScape. Making people "like" their page and share stuff is simply cheap advertisement. It's great that you keep your social life in the real world (which has nothing to do with using facebook or not), but I doubt you're going to publically advertise RuneScape to all of your friends. There is nothing in it for Jagex to simply give away an expensive laptop to anyone who playes RuneScape.
"but I doubt you're going to publically advertise RuneScape to all of your friends."
That is where you are wrong. I talk about Runescape to my friends and I have one friend who has now been a long time member. I used to recommend it as the ideal family friendly game, sadly I can no longer do that due to various reasons, one being the amount of cursing that goes on in some areas. I also got one of my brothers playing for a while but he is no longer with us
