Preventing referral fraud

Paying on installs invites fraud. This guide covers the tactics — gates, genuineness scoring, caps, hold windows — that let you automate payouts safely.

Validate, don’t track

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

Score genuineness

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

Cap and hold

Per-referrer caps and hold windows contain damage while you review.
