Take the Profit Out of Bonus Abuse

When a fraudster can buy a $20 identity to claim a $100 sign-up bonus, every fake account is profit. Arkose Titan flags high-risk sign-ups in real time so you can pull the bonus before it pays out, while real new customers and trusted AI agents claim offers without friction.

Take the Profit Out of Bonus Abuse

Bonus Abuse Is a Business Model

If the bonus pays more than the identity costs, fraudsters will keep coming back.

Bonus abuse, also called promo abuse or multi-accounting, happens when fraudsters create fake or synthetic accounts to claim sign-up bonuses, welcome offers, free trials, referral rewards and loyalty perks meant for new customers. The math is simple: if a $20 identity unlocks a $100 bonus, every account clears $80 in profit, so operators scale up with bots, AI agents and purchased identities.

Every fraudulent claim inflates acquisition costs, distorts growth metrics and takes value from real customers. Stopping it means recognizing the operator behind the accounts, not judging each sign-up on its own.

What Our Customers Say

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bonus abuse?

Bonus abuse happens when the same person creates multiple fake accounts to repeatedly claim a sign-up bonus, welcome offer or other one-time promotion meant for new customers.

How are bonus abuse and promo abuse related?

Promo abuse is the broader category of exploiting any promotional offer, while bonus abuse specifically refers to using multiple fake identities to claim the same one-time bonus over and over.

How do you prevent bonus abuse?

Arkose Titan analyzes signals such as device and behavioral data to link seemingly new accounts back to the same operator, then applies escalating, resource-draining defenses before a bonus is ever paid out.

What are the best bonus abuse prevention solutions?

The strongest solutions link scattered "new" accounts back to a single operator rather than judging each account in isolation. Arkose Titan does this with nearly 1,000 detection signals and escalating defenses that make repeat bonus claims too costly to run at scale.

Can AI agents be used for bonus abuse?

Yes. Attackers can use AI agents to automate sign-ups and claim bonuses at scale, while other agents sign up on behalf of real customers. Arkose Titan identifies AI agents at sign-up so you can decide which to allow and which to block.
