One account per person, whatever the email.
Duplicate fan check
Scalping protection
Scalpers open a hundred accounts.One face clears the limit, whatever account it's under.
Where signals flag risk, or you choose to ask, an anonymous HumanCheck, about 3 seconds, confirms a unique person, no ID. Everything else is scored automatically, in the background, on every registration or checkout.
The problem
Accounts are easy to fake. People aren't.
A limit only counts accounts, emails and cards. None of them tells you how many people are actually behind the order.
- Order #1821Order #1822Order #1823Same person
Ten accounts, one face
A script opens one account after another, each with a fresh email and card, and one person clears the limit again with every account.

Faster than a fan can click
A checkout script clears the form in milliseconds with no person behind it, while a real fan's page is still loading.
- 40 orders placed1 buyer
One buyer, the whole allocation
Forty orders in a drop can come from one person behind forty accounts, and the allocation meant for forty fans never reaches them.
How it works
One face, one purchase limit, whatever account it's under
01
Passive signals score every registration
Device, network and behavior signals run on every registration or checkout, and flag what looks automated or repeated: a VPN, a data center IP, Tor traffic, a browser that's been here under another name.
02
Risky registrations take an anonymous HumanCheck
When the signals flag risk, an anonymous HumanCheck, about 3 seconds and no ID, confirms a live, unique person before a code or a place in the queue goes out.
03
Registered before the drop opens, fast at checkout
Put the check at registration, ahead of the sale, so the queue itself carries nothing extra, and a returning fan on a known device skips the scan at checkout.

Common questions
Does the check slow down the sale?
Put it at registration, before the sale opens, so the queue itself carries nothing extra. The check takes about 3 seconds, and a returning fan on a known device skips the scan.
Can someone beat it with a photo or a video of someone else?
No. Liveness confirms a live, unique person at the camera, not a photo, a mask or a replay held up to it. It's iBeta tested against exactly those presentation attacks.
Is the limit one per person for good, or one per drop?
Your choice. Scope uniqueness to a single presale or drop and each fan gets one registration in it, then is free to register again at the next one. The same setting works for sneakers, vinyl, merch or any limited run.
What happens when a registration gets caught?
Block, the default, refuses the second registration outright. Allow and flag lets it through and raises it for your team to review before codes go out.
Can it stop someone from reselling tickets they bought themselves?
No. It makes the limit hold per person, so one person can't claim ten allocations behind ten accounts. A real fan who buys their own allowance and resells it is a job for your resale and transfer rules, not for us.
How much work is it to add?
It's two API calls: one to start the check and one to read the result.
Do we have to replace our KYC or bot tools?
No. It sits on top of your stack, so you keep your KYC and bot tools.
What does it cost?
It's 50 to 100 times cheaper than KYC. You pay per check, and nobody uploads an ID document.
