Which option do you prefer?
Maybe i have the indiegala one in mind, also an i'm not a robot thing, but you still have to click certain pictures with some blurry ones.
Still even it takes 1 second, it's a restriction, just like having to click accepting cookies when you visit a website, i am a human so why do i have to do extra work for those that do use bots?
There is already cv in place and if people really don't want bots to enter there are many ways they can prevent it (invites, set level etc).

I did and still, look at the average amount of how many giveaways people entered, count those "it only takes a second" all together and see how many minutes you wasted on just clicking extra nonsense boxes. Take a good 5 year and let's say you entered 100000 giveaways (which isn't impossible), while i suck at math i believe that's a whole day of non stop clicking.
Dont fix something when it isn't really broken.

On the one hand, we should have some kind of way to fight of bots but on the other hand, captcha can be really frustrating. It starts with simple check the box but then you have to choose images or retype some weird words.
On some imageboard I once saw an option for 'captcha' that was working for 24 hours, I think. Before you posted anything you had info to go on some kind of subpage, check the box, and then you were happy and free from doing that for some time.
In other words, I think this is genreally a good idea, but maybe with something else than captcha. If I will think about something or I will find some service that can do the same, I will come back here and post about it.

This service from Google is free, simple to implement and easy for humans to use. Just click the checkbox, wait a second and you're done. There's no generic way bypass it, but there may be paid services that can. Even if there are, it's very unlikely that anyone is going to pay just to be able to join a giveaway and get a tiny chance of winning. After all, giveaways typically have hundreds and sometimes thousands of other entries, so it's most likely money down the drain. It will becomes cheaper to simply use this money to buy the games.
