Ensuring high-quality users

To ensure the integrity and quality of user engagement, a four-layered fraud prevention strategy was implemented. This approach has resulted in a low fraud suspicion rate, under 0.5% across all fraud categories, as reported by mobile measurement partners (MMPs). The layers of this strategy include: Gamelight’s self-published apps leverage the Singular Fraud Prevention Suite to proactively block suspicious users, ensuring that only legitimate users engage with the content.

Additionally, Gamelight’s Fraud Prevention Solution is a mandatory checkpoint for all users before they receive game recommendations. On SuperPlay’s end, AppsFlyer’s Protect360 is employed to analyze every click and install, with Scalarr providing an additional layer of validation to meet all security and quality standards. This multi-tiered approach underscores the commitment to delivering high-quality, trustworthy user interactions.
