Referrals & fraud

Let members bring their friends — and keep the gaming out with automatic holds and an efficient review queue.

The referral program

Every member has a personal code and share link on the portal. When a referred friend joins and qualifies, both sides receive the incentives your referral rule defines. Attribution prefers an explicitly-entered code over a link cookie.

Automatic fraud holds

Suspicious referrals never pay out silently. Holds trigger on: self-referral (shared identity), shared mobile between advocate and friend, rate spikes (unusually many referrals in 24h), and refund-heavy advocates.

Working the queue

Each held referral shows its trigger, an advocate/friend comparison table (matching phone numbers highlighted), and join dates. Decide per row, or tick several and bulk-reject with one shared reason. Every decision requires a reason and is audited. Rules with manual approval timing send their earns to the same page's approvals queue.

ExampleTen referrals from one advocate in an hour, all friends sharing the advocate's mobile → held as shared-identity; tick all ten, "Reject — same device farm", done.
