What is CAPTCHA Farm?

A CAPTCHA farm is a service that solves challenges in bulk, either with cheap human labor or vision models, so bots can get past challenge pages at scale.

How it works

The bot forwards the challenge image to the farm, a worker or model solves it in seconds, and the answer goes back into the bot's session.

Why it matters for sportsbooks

Challenges alone no longer stop determined automation; they add friction for real users while farms route around them. For your book, that means margin on every market stay protected and bettors get a fair experience.

How OddsArmor detects it

OddsArmor scores every request against behavioral, network, and device signals, so automated patterns surface even when they imitate real bettors. Suspicious sessions get challenged or blocked before they reach your book.
