Deposit Verification

Deposit verification is the operational process that confirms a player or trader deposit is genuine, funded from a legitimate payment source, and meets the program's qualification rules before an affiliate commission event is triggered. Without verification, operators risk paying CPA or crediting RevShare on deposits that are later reversed, fraudulent, or below minimum thresholds.

The verification process typically involves multiple checks: payment gateway confirmation that funds have cleared, KYC status verification that the depositor's identity is confirmed, minimum deposit threshold validation, and duplicate detection to prevent multi-accounting fraud. Only after all checks pass does the system fire a postback or mark the conversion as qualified.

Verification timing directly affects the affiliate experience. Instant verification (real-time payment confirmation) allows fast commission attribution. Delayed verification (waiting for payment settlement, manual KYC review, or hold periods) creates lag between the player's action and the affiliate's credited conversion. Operators must balance fraud protection with attribution speed.

For S2S tracking implementations, deposit verification is the event that triggers the conversion postback. The postback fires only when the deposit is verified, not when the player initiates the transaction. This prevents affiliates from seeing pending conversions that may later be reversed, which improves data accuracy in affiliate dashboards.
