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.

are you using a VPN? any privacy extensions that block trackers and the like? those can sometimes trigger extra captcha checks on websites

no VPN. I have been using other sites for downloading… things, that trigger these often too. they also got more difficult to approve solutions.

now I am not even in my own country and it is the same.
