Why are Tasks Confined only to US? Is it Justified?

I really wonder that why many tasks are available only for the US workers and why others are denied of that opportunity here in Mylot? Nowadays, I could see that more than 5 out of 7 tasks are available only for the US workers and the worst part of it is that most of the tasks remain unfilled for many days say even for months. I really cant understand that why should people assign tasks only for US members. Do they think that US is the only country in this world? There are also certain sites which I have come across that pays more than twice the amount for a US worker in comparison with the International worker for the same kind of work that is going to be performed.
I personally feel that most of the online works are being performed by the International workers especially from the Asian countries with more perfection and good standard. It doesnt mean that others never perform well but its just a comparison in the standard of performance and function. Do anyone deny my statement?Please pour in your valuable replies

I doubt that admins want to benefit only US residents but that there are in general more opportunites for them compated to other countries. MyLot being based in US will be more aware of thos too surely?
If a task is created by a user resident outside US then it is likely that their task will only be available for users in that country. It is not a case of inferior or superior at all but it is about supply and demand.

The tasks that you are seeing are NOT placed there by myLot but by the users.
If users who belong to sites that only accept members from US are creating tasks, then there is no point in them saying that anyone from all over the world can complete them surely?

You are right. Maybe the users who posted the tasks are members of a site where it is limited for those who live in the U.S. only so they just follow the rules on the site and for them to get referrals, posting tasks and giving the limit for users who live in the given areas are only allowed to do the task. Yes, those tasks are created by other users. When the task creators post their tasks, it is open for all members, there are also other users who do the same. I hope that the tasks for international members will be available soon.

tasks are confined to US. THIS IS NOPT REALLY JUSTIFIED . ACORDING TO ME WHAT'S THE REASON IS THAT US PEOPLE USUALLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DO THE TASKS FOR THE SUCH SMALL AMOUNT AND INDIANS HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR DOING THE TASKS. THAT'S WHY THIS OCCURS.

i strongly agree to your comment regarding the available tasks here in mylot.These should be open to all members of mylot to give us all the opportunity to learn and earn at the same time.I always visit the available tasks, but it seems it was locked for US members only.

I don't believe that its some sort of twisted racism or patriotism or anything. Some countries don't use things like paypal. And sometimes they only want American statistics or whatever. I'm with you though. There are so many US only tasks. You would assume that the internet would be more global minded. But whatever. I'm in NZ so I don't get any of 'em either sadly.

I'm trying hard not to take offense at that statement. *bites tongue hard*
Everyone on here works hard, not just those of one single ethnic group.

Hello there! As you noticed on the list of available tasks, most of them are open for limited countries. It was posted by other members, not by the task creators here who post tasks that are open for all members. Those that are created by task creators became unavailable around 4 or 5 months ago, I want them to return especially the research, writing and posting tasks. Other members post tasks that are open to all while some have limited locations, other task creators suggest other users to use a proxy browser to change the user agent. I read on one of the tasks where it is limited for U.S. only and suggested to use a U.S. proxy when located on other countries in order for the server to trace a U.S. IP address. Let us hope that the kind of tasks before will be available again. Have a nice day!
