50 keys for Sekiro, and people that have been for 16 days hoarding points, and they JUST happen to do it in 0,1 seconds?

Plenty, I'm sure. But I think normal people would have try to get keys before if they had points, not just happen to wait, and wait, and wait for so long.

I thought so too, but there is captcha now upon first refresh, how are Bots getting past it every time now?
50 keys for Sekiro? I don't think so, more like 2- 5 since there were only 16 before for lesser valued games.

There was for me too. Probably if you wait the page counter to reset and the last 5 minutes try to refresh, the captcha will appear. But after that if you try to refresh again, no captcha anymore.

That captcha thing should be when you click the claim button on the game

Did you redeem one? I got Rising Storm 2 last weekend also, and my key was a dupe :(

Yeah last week it was a lot better for some reason. I got 2 games too and there were even some weaker games for a longer time like 10 minutes but now its gone so fast even if its sh*t game.

Probably someone already recommended this but try reloading 5-6 seconds before the timer ends. I've managed to at least see some green buttons this way but I haven't tried claiming anything since I hope I'll get Nier.
Also, on this last round I noticed that reloading 5 seconds before the timer ends, when the page loaded the timer was showing 59:45 seconds or so. I don't think it took that long to load so maybe the kinguin clock isn't precise? idk

Not from lack of trying.
Starting to think there's more to this giveaway than what Kinguin are letting on. They say there's no bots but how the hell can every single game go out of stock in just milliseconds? No human is that quick. Something stinks......

This is a great website security testing platform.
Captcha does not work because it asks before the hour. So you can just click and re-enable your script
They need to set it 5 seconds before, so there is not enough time to run scripts.
Or add a captcha after you click on a game to claim it...that way every one has to click verify. script or not.

I'm convinced that it's the same 10 bots that are getting them all on different accounts. Because it is NOT possible to be out within a split second of loading in. Missed Child of Light.... AGAIN!

Well, I wouldn't say that. I actually did get the Lego Star Wars Complete Saga free last weekend. But that was on Sunday.

In fact, for more transparency, they should just publish the number of copies of each game involved. That would to make it clearer and i wonder why they don't do it.
Then we would just realize Sekiro has 1 copy and don't feed the monkeys has 100 ! XD

I think the problem is the low number of keys, not the bots. It's always the same with giveaways, whatever the site, when there are not enough keys then all is gone in a flash. Bots are not necessary to get the result we see now on Kinguin, having too few keys and many people is enough. And it's obvious Kinguin is not rich enough to have enough keys for this kind of giveaways every week-end.

I totally forgot about this, which I found out about last week, when I registered and got my first 50 coins. I don't like that site and similar, but I wanted to try myself what people are complaining about.
So today I found this thread again, and since the timer was about 23mins, I decided to give it a go. I earned another 50 coins (total 100) and waited for the timer to go to zero.
I reloaded the page at about 4 secs left, and got back to it at 59:59, and all the games were "sold out" already.
I'm sure you're actually right about the bots, it's not hard to make them for a specific site. Even google captcha is no longer an issue for bots but only for humans, and that's for some years now. They may "lose" for an event, then catch up the next one, but it's a lost fight when you do giveaways like that.
Ah well, I like to see things with my own eyes.

Got F1 2015 for 100 Krownz. Not, what I would really choose, if I had time to choose, but still a game, that I have not owned, and that I'm likely to try one day. Still sitting on 550 Krownz, after not being able to claim any game in the past week.
I really wish, that they would find a way to give us time to really choose the games, that we want to claim, instead of madly clicking on first green button seen. But, if they decide to deal with multiple accounts, I would say, that the event is constantly improving. At least, the "You have already claimed this game" bug is gone (for me it was showing for every game, that I've tried to claim, if the keys were not gone, yet).

There are probably less than 10 keys per game, maybe even less for big games. And there are at least hundreds of people - not to mention bots - who try to catch those keys as soon as they are available. So ... you have to be faster than everyone AND very lucky to have a key. And if your Internet speed is not fast enough, a miracle will be needed. I tried 7 times, and although I sometimes managed to see the green buttons to claim the games, it was impossible for me to claim one in time.

Same here. Probably a bug with the counter. I assume that after 37 mins will go again on 23 mins remaining.

The "connection" wins. This is why I don't like "promotions" like this. Many people probably has 5-10 ms delay to the Kinguin server. This is answer why you see "sold out" or when you click claim you get information that no more KEY (yes ONE KEY per game, not keys). So each hour only 7-8 people can win. How many others trying? 10 000? 50 000? 100 000? So same time 50 000 click claim and key goes to the one that will respond faster. Last week after I click claim site forwared me to "collect key site" and I saw only white blank page because others person saw this page faster (better internet connections).
Its same as on alienwarearena: you see eg. 547 keys left, you click and no more keys.
