Case Study: ATLAS: EARTH bans 100% of cheaters and secures 1.5M players with SHIELD’s Device Intelligence

SHIELD(s) up! ATLAS EARTH Protects Metaverse from Cheaters

Atlas Reality, the company behind ATLAS: EARTH — the leading real estate metaverse with 1.5 million US players — faced widespread cheating threats: GPS spoofing, app cloners/emulators, and mass fake accounts that abused sign‑up bonuses, referrals, and limited promotions. To protect fairness and user trust, Atlas Reality turned to SHIELD’s AI‑powered Device Intelligence Unity plugin from the Unity Asset Store.

SHIELD deployed its Device Intelligence Unity plugin — leveraging SHIELD ID, Risk Indicators, and the SHIELD Sentinel — to detect spoofed locations, app cloning, and identify devices tied to fraud in real time. The plug‑and‑play integration required no PII and ran in the background; as a result, SHIELD enabled Atlas Reality to ban 100% of cheaters across Android and iOS, eradicate incentive abuse, and restore confidence for its 1.5 million players so the platform can scale securely.
