I executed your usecase with a couple of tweaks and faced the same consequences. Here are the execution details:
Code Block [Python]:
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.bet365.it/')
Browser Snapshot:
When I checked the Terms and conditions it is clearly mentioned that:
- Other
6.1 bet365 actively monitors traffic to and from its Site. Bet365 reserves the right to block access to the Site, at its discretion, should it encounter any evidence of automated or robotized game activity.
It seems Selenium driven ChromeDriver initiated google-chrome based browsing context is getting detected and the navigation is blocked.
Thank you for the answer. You are right. Looks like this is only one possible way how to fix it - use mobile version. Looks like bet365 doesn't block mobile version.
They are now blocking the mobile, too.
