What is EVGA doing to fight the scalper bots? I will give you my Drivers License or SSN if that would be a way to keep the bots out Hell I guess I could part with a finger or two for a 3080. seems resealable

They do a little bit. Look if oyu are Elite Member you get 1 day access earlier for the new cards. And to get the Status, you need to be active in the forum or register a product from EVGA... Soo they have a little bit of protection & you get into a quene, where you can sign up and get an awnser when you can buy a crad & you have 8 hours time when they write you! ;)

They put out more hurdles than other sellers. Ie. 100 posts or qualifying purchases. Sure, their are scalpers on here, but it’s basically an extended captcha lol

Don't really know how much the elite status helps. Creating a bunch of accounts and posting in the forums a hundred times is a pretty trivial script job.

Elite membership could be botted thru twitch most easily I'd assume. But still some protection for us regular people is better than none

I wish companies would do a lot more about bots. EVGA seems to be trying with this elite program.

I think the notification process is better than botting going on... just painful to sit in the queue for so long... low qty is always an issue.

EVGA's system is honestly better than most companies that just don't give a crap. Holding out for that sweet delicious 70ti.

EVGA is doing as much as possible. Sadly, I wish retailers would also do more.

The Queue System is their way of combating the bots. Ask Newegg and Amazon how they are fighting the bots.

Because you need an account to enter the queue and you provide your email/phone number when you sign up, I think this is how they decrease multiple entries per person. It is better than nothing. The elite system is another layer to bot protection as well.

Yeah at least they try to do something, instead of just watching things happen...

what about those retailers selling 3080s for up to 2500€? Aren't they basically the same thing.

Although queuing is very unpleasant, at least EVGA is doing something. Buying graphics cards in Taiwan will tie up some peripherals and sell them to you.

I think the idea of the elite membership with the auto notification system they have going on is a pretty intuitive way of dealing with scalpers and bots. Much better than Newegg's shuffle system which people can still make multiple accounts on..

Elite membership seems like a better way than others have come up with. Though I wish that membership length was an option rather than just posts, or in addition to. Anyone can register and spam 100 posts. Folks who have been members for 5, 10 or more years with 0 posts are in the exact same boat as a scalper who signed up today. I get it, but it also sucks.
