Preventing referral fraud

Paying on installs invites fraud. This guide covers the tactics that let you automate payouts safely: gates, AI fraud checks, caps, and hold windows.

All guides

Validate, don’t track

Gate payouts on genuine in-app actions instead of clicks or installs.

Run an AI fraud check

Use velocity, device, and pattern signals to catch self- and bulk-referrals.

Cap and hold

Per-referrer caps and hold windows limit the damage if something gets through.
