Forklifts (arbitration players) are users who bet on all possible outcomes of one event on different platforms, using discrepancies in coefficients for guaranteed profit. Despite the external "legality," such actions cause direct damage to the operator's margin and upset the balance of the system. A modern betting platform should be able to identify and automatically limit forks, while maintaining an honest gaming environment.
Why arbitration is a risk to the platform
Loss of margin and loss on unbalanced line- Distortion of analytics and false activity indicators
- Multi-accounts, proxies and bots are often used
- Unfair competition towards ordinary players
- Abuse of bonuses, cashbacks and freebets
How the forks are revealed
| Method | What is being analyzed |
|---|---|
| Behavioral analysis | Frequent bets on low-popularity outcomes with high volume |
| IP/Device Matches | Suspicious logins from different accounts, proxies, TOR |
| Frequent bets on abnormal caps | Playing on dramatic coefficient changes |
| Bets at the same time | Duplicate behavior in account group |
| Cross-platform alerts | Suspicious activity on other partner projects |
Automatic restriction
The platform can apply automatic sanctions to arbitration players:- Cap on maximum bid
- Prohibition on the use of bonuses and shares
- Deferral or manual check on withdrawal
- Freeze account until analysis is complete
- Reduction of coefficients for individual markets
- Transferring Information to Security
Tools and system logic
Scoring risk model based on betting history- Machine learning to identify new patterns
- History of rejected, canceled and "suspicious" bets
- Administrator panel for manual verification
- Integration with anti-fraud system, KYC and moderation
Platform Result
Preserve margin and transparent line- Protecting Honest Players and Reducing Conflict
- Less load on support and calculations
- Resistance to abuse in bonus campaigns
- Improving the overall economics of the project
Automatic detection and restriction of forks is a mandatory element of platform protection. This is not a fight with players, but a defense of honest betting. A system that knows how to distinguish strategy from manipulation wins in the long run.
