Gerald, Gerrald, Ger.ald.
Sony was restricting PS5s by address at one point, but adding an apartment number (to a house) or a 0 to an address got around the limit for the first year.
Depending on how valuable the item is, an incredible amount of manpower will go into defeating bot protections. I made a lot of money after spending a lot of time doing adversarial research and bot development.
- Retric 3y agoIt’s easy enough to require the name to exactly match the credit card name used or your kicked out of the fast queue. That’s the thing about these lotteries, rejecting people isn’t an issue.

- Retric 3y ago> Credit card names can also be fudged. Not really, in cases where it actually matters like car rentals they don’t let you do many things that “fool” the half assed systems. Frankly most queue systems aren’t designed to be robust because the company doesn’t care they are making the same money either way.
