With Hype Event Protection

Ensure fairer sales with shorter waits
Akamai & Queue-it work in unison to stop bots

Add Akamai Bot Manager to your Queue-it waiting room

  • Detect and categorize malicious traffic with high accuracy already in your waiting room
  • Overcome bots' speed advantages with Queue-it's traffic control, giving Akamai Bot Manager more time & telemetry to identify bad actors
  • Layer your defenses by combining Queue-it's suite of bots & abuse features with Akamai Bot Manager

Hide detection until it's too late

  • Keep detection invisible to prevent re-tooling and increase botters' compute resources
  • Trigger mitigation only once the sale opens, after visitors are randomized and assigned a spot in queue
  • Choose to hard block bots or force them to rejoin at the back of the first-in-first-out queue, behind genuine customers who arrived on time for the sale

Run faster, fairer hype events

  • Protect your reputation by ensuring real customers have a fair shot at securing limited-inventory tickets, products, or services
  • Deliver smoother, shorter waits with multi-layered bot mitigation that eliminates bot bloat in the queue and preserves performance
