Yep, that's exactly what I would (and actually already did) encourage people to do. Since apparently some people (who might not even be members of this community) are lame enough to grab codes with scripts, leaving others no chance, the best solution is to write the code in a way that the script can't process it.
If you want to keep it easy, you can spell out how the code must be read ("Attention: This code is spelled backwards", or "Note: The third character in this code should be an A, not a C as listed". This doesn't change the nature of the game, but is extremely difficult for scripts to handle.

THIS.....if you dislike a tool or method someone is using in an event and want to prevent them from using such and/or beating everyone else in the event with said tool or method then find ways to correct the "problem" you perceive.

All this complexity for gifting games defeat the very purpose of gifting games :S
What needs to be done is post pictures with the codes hand-written... like doc's doing.
No copy-paste...

It changes everything...
Piracy is about taking for free, but here they might very well be re-selling the games for cheap... and this is not acceptable.
