Case Study: Pipa Studios achieves 96% reduction in fake-account devices and restores fair play with SHIELD

How Pipa Studios and SHIELD Combat Fraud in Praia Bingo’s Social Gaming App

Pipa Studios, the Brazil‑headquartered maker of Praia Bingo and a leading social bingo company in LATAM, faced rising fraud from multi‑accounting, fake accounts and malicious tools (app cloners, emulators and hooking) that abused daily bonuses and undermined player trust. To address this, Pipa Studios partnered with SHIELD and adopted SHIELD’s Device‑First Fraud Intelligence platform to protect game integrity and restore a fair experience for genuine players.

SHIELD implemented its SHIELD Device ID and real‑time fraud intelligence to identify devices behind fake accounts and detect tampering tools, allowing Pipa Studios to stop abuse at the source. The deployment delivered measurable impact: a 96% reduction in devices associated with fake accounts, decreased bonus and reward abuse, and increased user trust and confidence on Praia Bingo — all achieved thanks to SHIELD’s device‑level detection and signals.
