Fraud Prevention

SquareBoards invests in fraud prevention to protect legitimate competitors, prize pools, and payment partners. This policy describes our approach — not the specific methods we use, which we do not disclose to avoid circumvention.

• Stolen payment instruments and card testing.
• Multi-accounting and bonus or referral abuse.
• Collusion and coordinated contest manipulation.
• Account takeover and credential stuffing.
• Chargeback fraud and friendly fraud.
• Synthetic or fraudulent identity submissions.

• Stripe Radar and payment risk scoring on transactions.
• Device fingerprinting, velocity limits, and behavioral signals.
• Mandatory SquareWallet™ payout setup for winnings.
• Identity verification for payouts and elevated risk events.
• SquareBank™ ledger reconciliation for every balance mutation.
• Automated holds on suspicious entries before contest lock when appropriate.

1. Risk systems or user reports generate a case.
2. Analysts review contest history, payment data, and account linkages.
3. Affected parties may be asked for documentation.
4. Findings are documented with actions taken and appeal rights where applicable.

• Decline or reverse transactions before contest participation.
• Void entries and refund legitimate competitors when a contest is compromised.
• Freeze SquareWallet™ balances pending investigation.
• Suspend or terminate accounts and ban linked identifiers.
• Cooperate with Stripe, banks, and law enforcement.

If you suspect fraud, contact support@squareboards.pro immediately with contest IDs, usernames, and transaction details. Do not confront suspected abusers publicly — let our team investigate.
