I don't understand why some of these contests use this recaptcha code on the entry forms. The words are always hard to read and the retyping and retyping is dumb. What is the reason for this addition to the contest forms when the big contests never use this?

They use the recaptcha code to ensure that a human and not a computer is completing the entry

Captha is the essential part of any registration form.It is more important to avoid self promotion of the sites.It is also useful to verify human entries.
