Peeved

"Understandably, some British buyers were a little peeved: if it was a lottery, it should have said so. People thought it was a first-come, first-served special discount, with a decent stockpile of gear up for grabs, when really it was nothing of the sort. It was a raffle draw."

I'm not sure if you could call

'I tried to cheat your system but it didn't work because you misled me about how your system worked' grounds for complaint.

If it's first-come, first-served, creating fake accounts so you're first, second and third in line is dishonest.
