Case Study: Plarium achieves stable logins and accurate analytics with DataDome

Plarium blocks 20M+ malicious requests a month with DataDome

Plarium, a video game studio specializing in online multiplayer games, faced significant challenges from malicious bots, including credential stuffing attacks and DDoS-like bursts on its login pages. These attacks, which reached over 20 million malicious requests a month, threatened service availability and player trust. Furthermore, non-human traffic was skewing marketing analytics, making it impossible to accurately evaluate campaign performance. Plarium needed a solution from a vendor like DataDome that could precisely distinguish between malicious automation and legitimate bots or human players without creating friction.

By implementing DataDome's intent-based detection, which uses client- and server-side signals, Plarium gained the ability to accurately identify and block malicious requests. The solution stabilized their login endpoints, prevented a major DDoS incident where 99% of a traffic spike was malicious, and restored reliable marketing analytics. As a result, DataDome helps Plarium block over 20 million malicious requests monthly without impacting real players or legitimate bots, ensuring secure accounts and trustworthy ROI calculations for their marketing team.
