Yes, fraud and toxicity exist in gaming. Here’s how to stop it
No one likes a cheater. We all want to see a fair play at all times because rewards, both physical and emotional, are worth far less when unfairly stolen and not properly earned. Our anti-cheating bias is built into just about every organized system. There are laws against corruption (political cheating), monopolies (economic cheating) and murder (um… life cheating?).
While the consequences in other areas are far less severe, cheating is still taken quite seriously in sport and gaming. Athletes can give themselves an unfair advantage by taking performance-enhancing drugs or tampering with equipment. Gaming made it more difficult to cheat — you have to know computers well to manipulate a carefully-constructed game — but that hasn’t eliminated the problem.
Despite the immense technological advancements that are continuously giving us better and better games, there is still cheating, fraud and general toxicity in the darker corners of the gaming world. This becomes a more serious issue when actually finances are at stake. BUFF is particularly motivated to prevent any and all types of fraud in its gaming loyalty-reward system.
BUFF functions as an unobtrusive overlay for games of skill that awards players with BUFF coins for the time they spend gaming. Those coins can then be spent on all kinds of virtual items or even exchanged for traditional currency. Similar initiatives have been tried before, but fraud was always an issue, taking away the benefits and incentives for gaming developers to participate.
BUFF has beat the fraud boss by building its system on the solid foundation of blockchain: the one way to virtually guarantee against fraud, making sure that everyone is earning and spending fairly — just like we all like to play. Blockchain inherent poses a nearly insurmountable challenge to ill-intentioned actors (or players) by dividing up information across countless servers that can’t all be manipulated at once.
Blockchain also handles BUFF coins without the interference, centralization or weak point of a financial middleman to be manipulated. But BUFF has also created an advanced AI and blockchain-based system to root out suspicious behavior and even arbitrate in the case of a dispute between two parties.
This is accomplished by analyzing masses of in-game data to identify inconsistent or impossible results and identify potential cases of fraud. This system is also fluent in detecting bots and other forms of malicious technology designed to manipulate the BUFF ecosystem and model. The gaming world finally has a reliable and trusted way to incorporate a loyalty-reward system without compromising on fraud protection.
