Hard Check™
We catch the CTV ad fraud others miss.
Industry-standard verification catches the obvious fraud. Hard Check is Adduro’s CTV ad fraud prevention layer that runs after it, blocking the spoofed traffic, VPN distribution, and bot farms that still get through.

Catch what the standard tools don’t.
The fraud that is built to look legitimate.
Hard Check looks for the patterns industry-standard verification doesn’t target: a VPN endpoint in Los Angeles distributing impressions to thousands of devices in other states, spoofed geolocation that looks clean on a dashboard, and coordinated bot activity dressed up as household traffic.
CTV ad fraud prevention as a second layer of verification, not a replacement for the first.
Your campaigns still run through industry-standard verification. Hard Check operates after that, focused on the invalid traffic that already passed through.
Fraud evolves, and Hard Check evolves with it.
Detection models update continuously based on what we’re seeing across the platform: new VPN endpoints, new bot patterns, and new spoofing techniques. The protection running on your campaign today is sharper than it was last month.
If we blocked it, you don’t pay for it.
Blocked impressions never appear in your delivery reporting. What you see in GammaBurst is what actually ran on real screens in real households, with no phantom reach and no inflated numbers.
You stop paying for impressions that were never going to convert.
Your CPA gets honest
Once fraudulent impressions are blocked, your true cost per acquisition becomes visible. The math your CFO asks about starts matching reality.
Your reach counts real households
Unique households are actually unique, not one VPN endpoint counted hundreds of times.
Your team stops reconciling
Reporting and delivery agree, so the quarterly fire drills end. Your team works on strategy instead of spreadsheets.

What is CTV ad fraud?
CTV ad fraud is invalid connected-TV traffic, such as spoofed traffic, VPN distribution, and bot farms, that quietly drains streaming budgets by charging advertisers for impressions that never reached a real household.
How is Hard Check different from standard verification?
Hard Check runs after industry-standard verification as a second layer, catching the spoofed traffic, VPN distribution, and bot farms that already passed through rather than duplicating what the industry already does well.
Do I pay for blocked impressions?
No, because blocked impressions never appear in your GammaBurst delivery reporting, so you only pay for impressions that ran on real screens in real households.
