webscraper blocked when entering username and pass

Question

Im building a webscraper for a client right now, but its getting caught by the sites anti-scraping system "Bot Defender." Ive found that it only gets caught when I let the program enter the username or pass, but doesnt get caught if I enter it manually. any ideas why? can the site tell the difference between seleniums webdriver.sendkeys() method and keyboard strokes? My code is below:

from time import sleep
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
import undetected_chromedriver.v2 as uc
from random import randint, choice

email_address = ''  #insert your email login
password = ''  #insert your password

def random_sleep(start=3, end=5):
    s=randint(0,100)*((end-start)/100)+start
    sleep(s)

def start_uc(headless=False):
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.headless= headless
    
    options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')
    options.add_argument('--no-first-run --no-service-autorun --password-store=basic')
    driver = uc.Chrome(options=options)
    return driver

def start():
    driver = start_uc()
    while True:
        try:
            driver.get("https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/")
            WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.title_is("FanDuel Sportsbook - Legal Online Sports Betting and Sportsbook"))
            break
        except:
            pass

    print('Title: ' + driver.title)

    random_sleep()
    # driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="root"]/div/div[1]/div/header/div[2]/div[1]/a[1]/svg/g').click()
    driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//a[@href="/login"]').click()
    
    random_sleep()
    driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//a[@data-test-id="state-selection--CO"]').click()
    random_sleep()
    email = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//input[@type="email"]')
    email.click()
    for let in email_address:
        random_sleep(0.2,1)
        email.send_keys(let)
    random_sleep()
    pw = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//input[@type="password"]')
    pw.click()
    for let in password:
        random_sleep(0.2,1)
        pw.sendkeys(let)
    random_sleep()
    pw.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
    random_sleep(20,30)

    driver.quit()

    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    start()
