    I am not an expert in any of that, but it sounds like it's a typical cookie stuffing. I don't think they send "fraudulent and incentive" players. They send normal players/affiliates who, accidentally gave their affiliate cookies over to those individuals. This trick is as old as the earth itself.

    There are helpful sources online that deal with the issue. Here's a sample, but you can find many more out there:

    On top of reconsidering the ToU, implementing codes that will prevent cookies stuffing is another obvious solution to this issue. Here's one interesting approach in ASP.NET:

    But then again, maybe it's something totally different. You don't give any specifics as to how their activities are fraudulent.

    Thanks for the input, much appreciated.
    For more details I can tell that all the players account were connected by IP or credit cards.
    The affiliate tried in some cases to hide his IP but was detected by the fraud department since some player were logging in from a different IP and logging out from another
