If the goal was to deal with bots, it was a serious failure! You remove them for one week, and the next week they come back in full force!
It's undeniable that this way of "fighting bots" is totally ineffective and unfair because I myself was prevented from redeeming codes without even using bots!
Such a punishment completely discourages players from continuing to bet, as they lose their right and benefit of being able to redeem codes during the week and on the Saturday live stream.
This issue could be easily resolved without unfairly affecting innocent people by simply adding 2FA as an additional factor to redeem codes, or even a manual captcha. This would 100% stop the bots and wouldn't affect thousands of innocent players who are not at fault for others using bots.
