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.
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.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
I can’t get past the captcha. Tried like 10 times
Cancel and try to redeem again, I sometimes end up in the dumb loop for no reason as well.
Legit took me 20 minutes to just get this;
Lmao and people say AI could ruin the web more
Their servers are just completely overloaded
Suffering from success?
So many people redeeming for a friend. 😆
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:

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

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