I am redeeming many codes from game giveaways like on Amazon Prime on GOG and recently ran into the issue that what feels like half the time I have to solve a captcha to redeem the code.

I am not even “spamming” codes, it is like once a week two to three codes. The problem is that the type of captcha GOG uses is very very often completely unsolvable. I have to skip through many until I find one that I have the experience that it will work.

Is there any way around that? I cannot believe people would be spamming codes so much that redeeming them should require captchas.

    I do some similar stuff, multiple redeems when I remember that Amazon gaming is a thing, but whilst I do get captcha challenges, they are some of the easiest I’ve seen lately. So it is possibly something to do with your specific setup to access their site. No VPN here, and Firefox with Noscript and ublock does not pose any issue, though I obviously have to temp whitelist gog and gog static or whatever are their two domains for the site to even work. I think I have whatever captcha service domain they use permanently whitelisted because some important thing I need to access, related to payments, uses it.
