Best referral and promo abuse prevention tools in 2026

Referral and promo abuse is one person or ring claiming many rewards from throwaway accounts, so the tools that actually stop it link those accounts by device rather than trusting the email or the IP. cside reads 250+ per-session signals to recognise the repeated device behind self-referrals and promo farming, even across new emails, cleared cookies, and VPNs, and flags the linked accounts at signup or when the reward is claimed. It runs from one first-party script and stays invisible to genuine referrers, so you cut abuse without taxing your best advocates.
