  Yeah what’s up with those lately? I’ve noticed them taking longer and longer to solve as well as being more difficult.

    It’s ReCaptcha owned by Google, if you’re using a non-Chrome browser or an ad blocker it punishes you with tedium. Probably illegal to sabotage your competition but when did that ever stop them.

    Supposedly they are more likely to give you captchas if there is high traffic, like every week when people try to claim their prime free games at the same time. If I get a captcha I just close out and try again later because you never know how many you are going to get.

    Could it be AI getting better at solving them, so they need to be more complex? No idea how this works, so just a thought.

  Legit took me 20 minutes to just get this;

  • click redeem -> 5 captchas
  • click login, reset password -> 5 captchas
  • click reset password link -> 5 captchas
  • login -> 5 captchas
  • click redeem -> 5 captchas

  Lmao and people say AI could ruin the web more

  Maybe you’re in a country where one of more games are restricted, this solved it for me

  I don’t even get a captcha, just a straight up error, when I try to redeem the code (with adblock disabled).

    This did the trick for me if you’re still facing the issue:

  Cancel and try to redeem again, I sometimes end up in the dumb loop for no reason as well.
