Anti-bot tasks

What are Anti-bot tasks?

Anti-bot tasks in claimr are designed to prevent automated submissions and ensure real users are interacting with your campaign. These tasks help you validate that a participant is a human (not a bot) before they proceed to more valuable or sensitive tasks in your quest.

Use Anti-bot tasks to:

• Add a friction point: Require users to complete a CAPTCHA check to filter out bots.

• Protect high-value tasks: Set dependencies so that users must first pass the CAPTCHA before accessing reward-heavy or critical tasks.

• Improve campaign integrity: Reduce the risk of fake completions or fraudulent submissions.

For detailed information about general task settings, including task name, header, description, rewards, dependencies, and more, refer to our Task Settings article.

Configure a task

To create a reCAPTCHA check task:

1. Go to your quest and click + Create new task.

2. Under the Category section, select Anti-bot.

3. Choose reCAPTCHA check from the list of task types.

4. Click Continue to proceed to task settings.

Since reCAPTCHA tasks are focused on verification, they have only two task-specific configuration fields.

• Completion points: The number of points awarded once the user passes the CAPTCHA.

• Points multiplier (%) (optional): Boost the final reward by a percentage if needed. For example, setting 10% will give a user 110 points instead of 100.

Once you’re done:

• Click Create task to save and add it to your quest right away. You’ll now see the task listed in your quest. From there, you can reorder it, delete it, or edit it anytime.

• Or, click Advanced settings to continue configuring more options specific to the selected task type. To find out more, read our Task settings article.

Control access using dependencies

Want to use reCAPTCHA as a gatekeeper? Make completion of the Anti-bot task required before showing other tasks.

To do this:

1. Go to the task you want to protect.

2. Open its settings.

3. Scroll to the Dependencies section.

1. In the Open after tasks field, select your reCAPTCHA task.

2. Make sure the reCAPTCHA task appears before the protected task in the campaign list.

How it looks to users

Users will first see the Anti-bot task. Once the task is completed:

• Users instantly earn the points you’ve assigned

• The system marks them as valid users

• Any dependent task becomes visible and can be accessed immediately

If the Antibot task is placed before high-value tasks in your campaign and properly linked with dependencies, users won’t even notice the behind-the-scenes logic — just a smooth and secure experience.
