DSG

DSG typically has dropped various Jordan 4 and Adidas releases on their website. They utilize a splash based waiting room system when releasing launch items.

Supported Bots

• Hayha

• Prism

• Kylin (Beta)

• QuickCop (Queue Module)

Recommended Bots

Hayha works best currently for DSG for desktop bots. It also is subjected to a lower rate of cancellations on recent drops compared to other bots. Quickcop is a good alternative on mobile, but is only browser based and requires you to manually complete checkout after passing queue.

Checkout flow on other bots is often flagged and will result in cancels.

Profiles

Name

• Random first, real last name

• Real first, real last name

• Either option is fine and up to you.

Address

• Various methods work, such as:

  • Real Address with no jigs

  • Modifying street suffixes - street to st, etc.

• Not currently necessary to jig address for DSG. Recent drops have had multiples ship to the same profile fine. Cancellations often are rooted in the bot's checkout flow. However, this is subject to change at any moment. In the past they have blacklisted some botters, so it may be beneficial to jig address slightly if you are consistently hitting bulk.

• Street suffix abbreviations can be found below

Cards

• Most cards should work for DSG, including:

  • American Express

  • Amex Extend

  • Capital One Eno (Visa and MC)

  • Privacy

  • Revolut

  • Slash

  • Stripe Issuing

  • Tradeshift

• Sometimes 3DS can be requested, so it is advised to use cards that do not request 3DS if possible.

  • Cards that do not prompt 3DS include Privacy, Slash and Stripe Issuing.

  • Amex Employee, Tradeshift, Extend work well for most people and typically does not prompt for 3DS, but some have reported in the past.

  • Capital One Eno users can add a work phone number, delete other home/mobile numbers from their account and choose to only be contacted through non-automated means to remove SMS 3DS prompts.

Email

• Real emails or catchalls work

• Not restricted to one checkout per email.

Phone Numbers

• Random phone number with real area code

Matching Shipping and Billing

• Recommended to match shipping and billing information to avoid declines and potential cancels.

Duplicates/Checkouts Limits

• DSG has allowed duplicate checkouts per billing profile on recent drops. This is always subject to change.

• There is currently no known checkout limit total to an address. Some people have gotten over 10-20 checkouts to ship to the same place.

Cancels

• Cancels are heavily based on bot checkout flow.

• Hayha has had the best success bypassing the antibot flag DSG uses during checkout, and some users have been able to have 10+ orders ship even on same profile.

• Cancels are still very common on DSG regardless of the bot you are using. There have been times DSG ends up cancelling every order even if you hit manually and restock all pairs.

• Keep your bot's order stick rate in mind. Otherwise, you could be wasting data and tying up your credit limit while waiting for charges to drop. It's entirely possible to hit 100 pairs and have 0 ship.

Monitor Inputs

• Some bots use the direct link to the product, while others use the DSG PID or a specific keyword to pick up.

• Links sometimes won't be available until the launch item has a queue placed on the item. If an early link is available, it will be posted in the release channel.

• The PID can be found at the end of the launch product link. Example: - https://launch.dickssportinggoods.com/p/jordan-1-low-basketball-shoes-22jdnarjrdn1lwgrymns/22jdnarjrdn1lwgrymns - PID = 22jdnarjrdn1lwgrymns

• Be sure to follow what your bot posts to run if applicable. For example, during a Yeezy Slide drop, Hayha advised to run pure and onyx for product inputs.

Proxies

• DSG uses Akamai for their bot protection. Depending on how strict they turn Akamai up to, it can cause difficulties for certain proxies when trying to get through queue and carting/checking out.

• Residential proxies can often work better than ISP do depending on the ranges you have. Be sure to use static residential proxies and not rotating.

• Some residential providers that have worked on DSG in the past include Live, Lemon and Oculus.

• ISP proxies can still work, but will come down to the ranges you are running, the bot being used and the current site security. Recommended to not only rely on ISP if possible.

• Some report higher usage of data on their residential proxies during drops depending on bot and proxy provider. Keep this in mind and ensure you have a lot of data when running.

Task to Proxy Ratio

• ISP - one task per proxy is recommended typically. Running more tasks on an IP makes for a higher chance for the proxy range to get flagged by Akamai. Running a higher task to proxy ratio such as 1 proxy for 2 or 3 tasks is up to you, but not advised given the increase in Akamai blocks on these recently.

• Residential - minimum of 3-5 proxies per task. Residential proxies are not as reliable or stable as ISP are, so you want to allow them to rotate as needed if they are dead or banned.

• Localhost - You can open up a lot of browser windows when going manual on your home IP or LTE. I've personally had up to 12 tasks in queue with QuickCop and was able to pass and cart, however this will likely vary from person to person.

Queue/Waiting Room

• DSG utilizes a queue system for launch products.

• This queue system is similar to Yeezy Supply splash. You will be selected at random while waiting.

• It is recommended to get into queue as early as possible. As the drop goes on, traffic increases on the site and can make it harder to be able to get through fast enough to hit.

• No captcha is required in order for you to wait in or pass the waiting page.

• Perma-queue can be enabled on certain products, so keep this in mind when running and need to be cautious with your residential proxy data.

Start Times

• Start times for tasks will vary depending on the bot you are using.

• Tasks will typically be started once queue goes up for the launch product you're running.

• Some bots will keep their DSG module locked until queue goes up, so be sure to watch your bot's announcements and live-drop-info for when you should start tasks.

Task Limits

• Bot devs have not been limiting tasks on DSG

Delays

• A delay of 3000 or 3500 for monitor/retry for most bots should be fine.

Captchas

• There are no captchas to solve for DSG.

• No third party captcha solvers are required.

Miscellaneous Notes

• DSG often comes down to the amount of tasks you're running and the quality of your proxies. Bad quality proxies will result in you being unable to pass the waiting room or get flagged by Akamai and unable to cart/checkout.

• Cancels are quite common and should be expected when running DSG. Do not expect to have a 100% ship rate when running, and if you are not running a bot with a better checkout flow such as Hayha, getting all of your orders cancelled is common.

• It can help to use cards that allow you a more flexible spend limit, in case you run up cancels. This way you don't lock yourself out of running other sites if you don't have enough cards.

• In the event you don't have an early link or PID available, you can usually make tasks beforehand and just mass edit tasks to the launch product monitor input. This way you aren't scrambling to create tasks at the last minute and can get into queue as soon as possible.

• The site sometimes can struggle to stay alive and start crashing due to the number of people and amount of tasks being ran.
