Mate, you know I appreciate you and your giveaways, but I'm giving you some info.
Bots don't care about domains or anything, mainly they search for five char codes between slashes: /????/
That's the part you should change, the rest is irrelevant.
And in this case, dangerous. Two of the domains you point to are designed as "potential threat". Linking to potentially bad domains is a bad idea. I've seen this another time and saw a moderator (junior or whatever) asking the OP to refrain from changing the domain as antibot protection in the future.
There are so many easy ways to change those five characters in a way that's useless to bots but easy to edit for humans. E.g. put an extra slash in the middle of everyone and write "delete the offending slash".
Thumbs up, mate.

I love your giveaway puzzles too, but if this is really the case I encourage this too.

What if you did an experiment and put 2 of the same game and make giveaways with 2 different puzzles (one with altering the /?????/ and the other not altering /?????/) on the same forum post and see which giveaway gets more entries. Would be pretty interesting.

I believe that someone done some extensive tests in the past, can't remember who it was, what the outcome was.
But there is also a saying for people that don't make giveaways for people that are level 0 or 1 anymore, while we all started that way, and not everyone of them are bots.
Offcourse i want them to go to normal human beings, like i know an user that checks every winner if they redeemed it, but i'm also for people's own responsibilities, if someone wins something from me it's theirs if they redeem it themselves or not, not my problem and there will always be cheaters in the world, be it here or in real life.

I wonder if many people know that the most renowned version of the song is actually a remix. The original song is way different.
