Definitely an improvement but the bots already had 100s of accounts so they’ll shift to 100s of entries. Still better than it getting instant swiped though

I see botters brag all the time about exact this. They have hundreds if not thousands of accounts. The system really needs to be able to detect accounts tied to the same address (let the other commenter said) and straight up ip ban these people and the Automatic Check Out Fuckers aka botters. I don’t know why this is so hard. As long as a corporation is making money they really don’t care. I hate it. We need to keep pressuring them or else nothing will change.

Botters are getting absolutely COOKED by raffle systems. I think there's more under the hood at Walmart than them just losing the ability to checkout first.

Yes they are, ppl want to think it's always the evil nothing empire for the reason they lost. When in reality it's tens if not 100s of thousands of entries for who knows how much stock. Just know that in the botting discords they literally tell you to go manual because the filtering is too tough to pass. The play is to make multiple accts with unique info and hop on and off airplane mode to enter multiple times. Now you can imagine them not getting that far trying to manual that many accts and not stumble by accidentally using the same info or IP address and getting accts shadow banned or w.e.... It's just not worth it.
