Operational Challenges

Bot Attacks Grow Exponentially

Bots open hundreds of fake accounts from same IP. Real customers click non-converting links. System drowns in spam.

Gamers Exploit Weak Systems

Users find hacks to maximize daily bonuses. Points become meaningless. Program dies.

Leaderboards Without Psychology Cause Harm

Top-10 drives participation. Bottom-10 destroys motivation. Psychology required.

Fraud Detection Difficult

Distinguishing fraud from legitimate hard. Too strict = block real users. Too loose = fraud wins.
