Chrome driver for Selenium stuck in grey screen on bet365 site

I executed your usecase with a couple of tweaks and faced the same consequences. Here are the execution details:

  • Code Block [Python]:

    from selenium import webdriver
    
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
    options.add_argument("start-maximized")
    options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
    options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
    driver.get('https://www.bet365.it/')
    
  • Browser Snapshot:

Deep Dive

When I checked the Terms and conditions it is clearly mentioned that:

  1. Other

6.1 bet365 actively monitors traffic to and from its Site. Bet365 reserves the right to block access to the Site, at its discretion, should it encounter any evidence of automated or robotized game activity.


Conclusion

It seems Selenium driven ChromeDriver initiated google-chrome based browsing context is getting detected and the navigation is blocked.
