If 1 hour giveaways (and only 1 hour giveaways) were protected with easy captchas (not street signs etc), would you enter?
All lvl 0 and 1 "open for all" GA's are infested by bots, autojoiners, extrem leechers. I would say 90% are such ones.
On lvl 2 i think they are 50%
So such captcha help for sure
BUT i am sure it is easy to slip around (Makro of mousemoving saved and attached to a bot/autojoiner ?)
As i ever say.... every little bit helps...
Look as example on Plague Inc, lvl 0, created before the pointchange, over 7k try it. Real players are there only a few.... because the real ones removed there entries (mostly) to take the points for better chances. The count is not really dropped since the pointchange.
From my line of sight all that are there in should be looked closer for bot/autojoiner behavior.
You are whitelisted now and i sended you a friendrequest in steam (we have 9 same friends there... brings me a bit to smiling... the sg forum world is small^^)
I will set up a test tomorrow and inform you closer over it (on steam) :)

So that bots wouldn’t join them, as they are probably programmed to enter fast gibs

I don't know the exact number of bots, but there are strong signs that many (possibly most) of entries for public low level GAs are from script users. The reduction from 957 to a few hundreds (300 is just a guess) is based on some people comments that show that the new system has already helped to reduce the number of entries significantly.
As for mobile devices, there are capchas intended specifically for them, but I don't think they can be as easy as clicking a checkbox. That's the reality of mobile devices, many other things are more difficult than on a PC (typing for example).

Look at https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/cO2Vo/furi
1h~600 entries (edit: >700).
I think it because now all have less points for use.
And bots.. bots alive. All public GAs <=2 lvl are for bots, multiple accounts and ppl who do mass entries in 1 visit SG site.

I think this was implemented the way that it will look at how you „clicked“ e.g. that a virtuel Click won’t work

The checkbox is only replaced by traffic signs when reCAPTCHA identifies suspect behavior. I think it would be fine if this fallback would be disabled completely and that the site would rely only on the latest logic of checkbox-only verification. We need to keep in mind that what's at stake here is only the chance to enter giveaways, nothing really serious (like account or billing details theft).

Why not put Invisible recaptcha for all giveaways ?

A 1 hour giveaway for Munin is
here, behind a captcha.For comparison, a couple of months ago a 1 hour public GA for this game ended with 957 entries. This was before the new point system update, but even competing with 300 bots is no fun. Update: This GA ended with 91 entries, all human.
