Antifraud
Systems an operator or network uses to score incoming traffic and players for signs of fake accounts, bots, stolen payments or bonus abuse. Their verdict decides which of your conversions are paid, and you rarely see why.
Also called: anti-fraud, fraud detection, fraud scoring, risk scoring.
Antifraud works on 2 levels. At the click level, a network or tracker filters bots and invalid clicks: data center IPs, impossible click rates, device data that doesn't add up. At the player level, the operator compares each new account with what it already knows: device and browser fingerprints, IP location against the stated country, repeated names, emails, phones and cards, the time between click and registration, and how the player deposits, bets and withdraws.
The output is a score. Accounts above a threshold are blocked, sent to manual review or excluded from commission. For the affiliate the catch is opacity: terms usually make the operator's judgment of fraudulent or low-quality traffic final, and reports often show nothing more than "rejected".
Ask what reason codes you will see, whether rejected players are listed by sub ID, and whether you can dispute a decision with your own tracker data. A spike from a new source or a sub-source full of incentivized clicks can put your whole account under review, so vet new sources in your tracker before scaling them.
