Why Accounts Matter

Creating and managing high-quality accounts is one of the most overlooked factors in botting. Many websites restrict multiple purchases per user, so having multiple accounts can:

✔ Increase the number of checkouts without triggering anti-bot measures. ✔ Prevent bans by avoiding detection from using the same account repeatedly. ✔ Ensure reliability—poorly made accounts often fail verification or get flagged.

Types of Accounts Used in Refract

1. Email Accounts

Your choice of email provider impacts botting performance, especially for account creation and order confirmations.

Best Email Providers for Botting

Email Provider	Benefits	Best Use Cases
iCloud	Easy to create in bulk, trusted domain, doesn't get flagged	Amazon, Best Buy, Target
Gmail	Reliable, used by most bots, good for general botting	Amazon, Walmart
Yahoo	Reliable alternative to Gmail & iCloud, works well for most sites	Amazon, Best Buy, Target
Outlook / Hotmail	Not ideal—sometimes flagged or restricted on retail sites	Avoid if possible

📌 What About Captchas & 1-Click? Refract doesn’t currently use many captcha-heavy sites, but for general botting, aged Gmail accounts can help improve trust scores on sites using Google reCAPTCHA.

2. Retail Website Accounts

Many retail sites require accounts to purchase items, and having multiple properly created accounts can increase your checkout success rate.

Retailer	Why It’s Needed
Amazon	Required for any Amazon checkouts
Best Buy	Required for queue drops and helps with in-store pickup
Walmart	Required
Target	Required

📌 Tip: Having aged retail accounts (created weeks/months in advance) is always better than making new ones right before a drop.

Account Creation: Manual vs. Automated

Creating accounts correctly is just as important as using them. Poorly created accounts can get flagged quickly, while well-made accounts last longer and increase success rates.

Manual Creation

✅ Best for high-quality, long-lasting accounts ✅ Avoids detection from automated account creation tools ✅ More likely to pass verification checks

❌ Slower—takes more time to create multiple accounts ❌ Requires different devices/IPs to avoid detection

Automated Creation (Using Tools like AYCD)

✅ Much faster—bulk create accounts in minutes ✅ Can generate iCloud, Yahoo, and Gmail accounts automatically ✅ Works well for creating multiple accounts at scale

❌ Some auto-generated accounts might get flagged if not made correctly ❌ Might require phone/SMS verification depending on the site

📌 Best Strategy? If possible, use a mix of manual and automated account creation—manual for the most important accounts and automated for bulk creation when needed.

Best Practices for Managing Accounts

🔹 Use Unique Emails & Payment Methods – Avoid reusing the same email/payment details across multiple accounts.

🔹 Age Accounts Before Use – Creating an account right before a drop is a red flag. Make them in advance. Not required, but may help.

🔹 Rotate IP Addresses When Creating Accounts – Avoid creating multiple accounts from the same IP to prevent bans.

🔹 Keep Track of Account Details – Use a spreadsheet or tool to organize emails, passwords, and associated payment methods.

🔹 Test Accounts Before Major Drops – Log in and make a test purchase to ensure the account is working properly.
