Kaptcha for giveaways? Seriously?

[retrobunny2005]

If this were really just to get rid of bots the simple solution would be to use a similar policy the other site uses. You can only win a game that you don't have in your steam library and you cant enter new giveaways til you redeem last key you won. This would stop bots without hurting the average user because a bot account could only win one game before they would be unable to enter any more giveaways til the game they won was registered to their steam account.

On an unrelated note how in the world does the auction system work? Was looking under the giveaways tab and seen auctions completed none and never seen that before and 0 help for auctions in support.

This is terrible...I have to select pictures for every giveaway...even 1 point ones LOOOOL so if you want to enter more giveaways, you need to prepare urself for like 1h of picking dumb signs and shorts and windows and other captcha things...

the problem was the Russians do fake giveaways and using bots to get game keys for reselling.

Lol i hope you realize 3/4 of keys are from gleam.io/dlh.net worthless mass giveaways, DIG store bulk purchases and store-bought stolen keys (Beastiarium, Edge of Hearts and more). No one is gonna make profit out of that, at least not more than a cent per key.

Anyways...this is so much fun
Enter giveaway > I'm not a robot > click tons of cars > next > click tons of traffic signs > "Cannot contact reCAPTCHA. Check your connection and try again" popup > do all captcha crap again
And no, it's not my pc's or connection's fault because those are better than stuff from the majority of IG users (feel free to check my Steam profile). Not worth wasting my time to solve 3 captchas for a chance to win a game i'm most likely able to get in a mass giveaway on /r/FreeGameFindings.

Came to see if anyone complained about it already.

Sigh, is this site ever going to get run or designed by proper people...

Seems Indiegala is getting worst or they put captcha, so by this the person who need to enter in giveaways surf more time than usual to indiegala. So website trafic will go high.

All is money game. Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Never expect this shit from you Indiegala.

This is stupid and annoying to have captcha on every ticket...
