Checking your browser before accessing message while accessing an application using ChromeDriver and Chrome using Selenium

I am trying to automate a certain type of routine and it was going all well until the website started performing the "Checking browser..." process (snapshot below). Strangely, it didn't do it during previous runs.

I have tried the following code, which I "stole" from this answer: Selenium stuck on “Checking your browser before accessing URL”, but my browser is still unresponsive:

url= "URL"
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")
driver_new = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = "C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe", options = options)
driver_new.get(url)

Answer #1:

This error message...

...implies that the Cloudflare have detected your requests to the website as an automated bot and subsequently denying you the access to the application.

Solution

In these cases the a potential solution would be to use the undetected-chromedriver to initialize the Chrome Browsing Context.

undetected-chromedriver is an optimized Selenium Chromedriver patch which does not trigger anti-bot services like Distill Network / Imperva / DataDome / Botprotect.io. It automatically downloads the driver binary and patches it.

Code Block:

import undetected_chromedriver as uc
from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
driver = uc.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get('https://bet365.com')

Answer #2:

You can use time.sleep(6) That should be enough if you are redirected after 5 seconds.
