Datatank, we use custom software that detects the things described above + more automatically, but there are of course professional fraudsters who can easily circumvent those controls.

Detoxed, all sponsors would to do is update their ToS and privacy policy to indicate that the affiliate's information could be shared in the event of a ToS violation (Maxcash does this with spammers already)
