Serve real customers, not bots.
QueueRoom stops automated checkout scripts, scalper bots, and credential stuffers before they consume inventory or queue slots. Layered defense at the Cloudflare edge.
Cloudflare Turnstile
GateEvery visitor completes a Turnstile challenge before entering the waiting room. Invisible verification for real humans — hard block for automated scripts. No CAPTCHA friction, no accessibility tradeoffs.
Proof-of-Work Challenges
AdaptiveVisitors must solve lightweight computational puzzles before advancing. Puzzle difficulty scales with queue depth — harder challenges when bot pressure is high, trivial when traffic is normal. Bots burn CPU while real users pass through instantly.
Behavioral Fingerprinting
PassiveQueueRoom analyzes visitor behavior patterns: mouse movement, scroll timing, tab focus, and interaction speed. Bots exhibit consistent patterns — real humans are noisy. Suspicious visitors face increased challenge difficulty.
Data Center Traffic Blocking
ConfigurableTraffic from known data centers, cloud providers, and proxy services can be automatically challenged or blocked. Real buyers come from residential ISPs and mobile carriers — bots come from AWS, GCP, and DigitalOcean.
Pre-Queue Randomization
FairnessAt drop time, queue positions are randomized among all verified visitors. Bots that joined the queue early get no advantage. Real customers get a fair chance regardless of when they arrived.
Rate limiting stops requests. QueueRoom stops bots.
Rate limiting blocks too many requests from one IP. Bots use thousands of IPs. QueueRoom verifies the human behind every request — not just the IP address.
