EpicGames has made captchas mandatory for claiming free games. Currently, epicgames freebies claimer cannot handle this, so it is not working. I am trying to fix it by implementating anti captcha solutions. You can track my progression here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
In the meantime, you may want to check out Epic Games Store Weekly Free Games which passes captcha checks and 2FA by sending the user a notification to solve them manually.
GrabFreeGames.com also offers a number of ways to be notified when free games become available, but it does not offer any claim automation.
Claim available free game promotions from the Epic Games Store.

This is for the truly lazy, you know who you are. ;) Also, this is a good alternative, in case you don't like using Epic's client or website (and I don't blame you).
To which I will say, why not? Most of these games are actually outstanding games! Even if you don't like Epic and their shenanigans, you will be pleased to know that Epic actually funds all the free copies that are given away: "But we actually found it was more economical to pay developers [a lump sum] to distribute their game free for two weeks..."
