"Checking browser before accessing..." error when using Curl - php

Question

I am trying to use curl to get the contents off a website. The error that I am getting is.
"Checking your browser before accessing roosterteeth.com"
I tried changing different attributes in curl but still no luck. I have tried using PHP Simple HTML Dom Parser but once again no luck.
below is my current code.
<?php
$divContents = array();
$userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0';
$html = curl_init("http://roosterteeth.com/home.php");
curl_setopt($html, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($html, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($html, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $userAgent);
curl_setopt($html, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$content = curl_exec($html);
foreach($content->find("div.streamIndividual") as $div) {
$divContents[] = $div->outertext; }
file_put_contents("cache.htm", implode(PHP_EOL, $divContents));
$hash = file_get_contents("pg_1_hash.htm");
$cache = file_get_contents("cache.htm");
if ($hash == ($pageHash = md5($test))) {
} else {
$fpa = fopen("pg_1.htm", "w");
fwrite($fpa, $cache);
fclose($fpa);
$fpb = fopen("pg_1_hash.htm", "w");
fwrite($fpb, $pageHash);
fclose($fpb);
}
?>
As it stands the code above shows a different error due to the find command not being able to get any content. The code below shows the error I get from the site.
<?php
$divContents = array();
$userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0';
$html = curl_init("http://roosterteeth.com/home.php");
curl_setopt($html, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($html, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($html, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $userAgent);
curl_setopt($html, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$content = curl_exec($html);
echo $content;
?>
My hunch about the error is that the server thinks that I am a bot (which I don't blame it to believe that). I used curl to see if i can pretend to be a client and bypass the checker but was unsuccessful. I hope someone can shed some light onto this.

Thank you for your time :)

If the site you're trying to access uses wordpress, it's definetly has security issues. It' a known malicious modification for WP and redirects users to some different sites. So in this case the problem is not in your code.
