# Nike DRAW ### How Releases Work **Nike DRAW** is Valor’s module for Nike’s draw/raffle releases. Some Nike releases are FCFS, while others are draws or raffles. This module only works for draw products. These types of releases are usually scheduled, but they can sometimes happen at random times, which are often referred to as a “shock drop.” ### Creating Tasks To run Nike DRAW, select one of the supported regions in the **Site** drop-down when creating a task group.
To add a task to the selected group, click the second blue **Add** icon to the right of the group name at the top of the page. This will open the task creation window for that group. * **Monitor Input (SKU):** Enter the product SKU for the item you want to check out. The SKU can usually be found on the product page, labeled as **Style:**, for example `HF1234-001`. * **Size:** Select the size you want to check out. * **Proxy Group (optional):** Select a proxy group if you want to run your tasks on proxies. Using proxies is highly recommended. Keep in mind that if you are using account proxies, the bot will default to using those instead of the ones you enter for your task. In that case, you can either just select a proxy group (which won't be used) or leave it blank. When your tasks run, they will use the account proxy you have selected. * **Browser**: Select the browser you would like to use. Make sure you have the browser installed on the device you are running Valor on in order for your tasks to work. The Valor browser is a Chrome-based browser that does some things to get around anti-bot, so use it at your own risk. It is suggested to use a variety of browsers to help get past your device being flagged by Nike. * **Profile Group:** Select the profile group you want your tasks to use. * **Profile:** Select the profile you want the task to use. It is important to note that when a Nike DRAW task is run, the task expects there to already be a profile saved on your account, so when it goes to enter the draw it will only need to enter the CVV for the card on file. If you have no info on your account, the profile you set for your task will be saved to the account the first time it is run. * **Account Group:** Select the account group you want your tasks to use. * **Account:** Select the account you want the task to use. You can select **Match Email To Profile** and it will create the task with the account and profile that share the same email. * **Re-Enter On Fail**: Enable this if you want your tasks to re-enter the draw after not winning. Some releases do not support this. * **Clear Account Info**: Enable this if you want your tasks to replace the info already saved on your account with the info from the profile you select for the task. * **Task Quantity:** Enter the number of tasks you want to create.
Once your settings are configured, click **Create** to create your tasks. ### Running Releases Running Nike DRAW releases is different from other modules. The main difference is that these are **browser-based tasks**. When running, a browser will open, and Valor will control it to enter the draw. This helps bypass Nike’s filtering and improves your chances of entry. Because of this, it is important that the browser you selected when creating your tasks is **installed and up to date** on the same device running Valor. Browser tasks are resource-intensive. In the **Settings** tab, you will see the **Max Concurrent Browsers** option. This controls how many browser instances can be open at once until they reach the **Waiting To Enter** step. Since these tasks use a lot of CPU and RAM, it is recommended to test what your device can handle and avoid running too many at once. When you click **Start All**, only the number of tasks allowed by your **Max Concurrent Browsers** setting will start at first. Any remaining tasks will stay on **Waiting To Start** until another browser slot becomes available. If needed, you can still stop and start those individual tasks manually while they are in the **Waiting To Start** status to skip the waiting phase. Nike DRAW also uses a feature called **saving sessions**. This is done by running tasks on a **future SKU that has not been released yet**. When you do this, Valor will: * Open the Nike orders page * Check if your account is logged in * Log in if needed Once logged in, you can stop the task or close the browser. This saves the session so your tasks **do not need to log in during the actual drop**, saving time and improving speed. It is recommended to save sessions **at least 1 hour before the release**. After saving sessions, when you start your tasks for the actual release: * Load the orders page. * Tasks will go directly to the product page. * They will sit on **Waiting For Release** with the entry time. Once the release starts: * Tasks will move to the entry page. * Enter CVV if required. * Submit the entry. After entering: * The browser will close * The task will check if your entry was successful Once your task has been entered, nothing else is required. You can always manually check your account to confirm if you won the draw. ### Anti Bots Nike uses the **Kasada** anti-bot system. This anti-bot focuses on both proxy reputation and the device you are running Valor on. It can detect certain signs that make your setup appear less human, such as running on a server or on a device without a GPU. Because of this, these types of environments may be flagged more easily. If you are having issues with Kasada, try troubleshooting by changing your proxies or running Valor on a local device, such as your PC or laptop, instead of a server. ### Common Issues **Error Parsing Response From Server**\ This usually means that either your device, your task, or your account proxy has been blocked by Nike’s anti-bot system. To try to fix this, use a different proxy, change your server resolution, and use the **Brave** browser, or run Valor on a different device. **View Bag Error**\ Sometimes when starting your tasks, you may see a pop-up on the site showing an error with a **“View Bag”** message. This means your login session has been flagged by Nike’s anti-bot system, and you will need to recreate your session. This usually happens from running too many tasks on the same device, which can cause it to get flagged. The exact number varies, so you will need to test what works best for you. **Stuck on a Status**\ Browser automation can be somewhat buggy due to how it works. Sometimes the bot may have trouble clicking a button or continuing to the next step. If this happens, pay attention to what is showing in the browser window, as there may be an error message or popup preventing the task from continuing. In some cases, you may need to step in and manually click the button yourself to help the task continue. **Sorry, we had an issue with your request. Please try again.** Sometimes, a pop-up with this error may appear on the entry page. This can happen for two reasons. The first is an issue with Chrome itself that usually needs to be fixed by the Chrome team. In some cases, refreshing the page several times will fix it, and Valor will try to do this automatically. The second reason is the same cause as the **View Bag** error, which means your device is being blocked from entering by Nike’s anti-bot system. If this is the cause, the pop-up will continue to appear even after multiple refresh attempts.
