I just ran into this as well. I ended up manually claiming it through the Epic Games Launcher app and it didn't prompt for the captcha. Perhaps it only prompts through the browser?

I don't get any captcha challenges (see below). How are you running it? Is it fine by now? You usually get these challenges for ~6h on one IP and then it resets.
Only epic-games may show you a captcha while claiming (gog only does it if you fail login too often).
Possible factors are: too many login attempts, country of account, country of IP, VPN, macOS/Win/Linux, docker/node, non-default options.

Still an issue or was it temporary? Everything works fine for me.

Feel free to reopen if there are still issues.

Hi @vogler, I get hCaptchas when claiming from epic games. Either through the docker container or manually through my WSL node setup. If I recall correctly only appears when claiming 18+ games. I will take a screen next time, already claimed it manually.
