Anyone try this? Is it worth setting up?

I have it running. For epic games it mostly is a reminder to start Heroic, as the auto claim does not work for me. Gog rarely has free games, so I am not sure. Amazon Prime works fine (sometimes it has codes for gog/epic), which can also be used with Heroic.

And for GOG you can have something refresh a link daily and it grabs whatever is there.

Been mostly borked for me at least. It works as getting notified, but gotta manually claim the games.

How would it get past the captcha? EGS always has a complicated captcha

It doesn’t. It prompts you to solve it when first logging in.

For me I get prompted with a captcha on redeeming a free game, almost every time

I experienced this as well and game up on it. I’ve been using epicgames-freegames instead. I receive a notification when I need to sign in again and when I need to finish the checkout process.

For me, the pinned issue keeps me from using it: github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer/issues/183
