Our Multi-Layered Security Approach

1. Identity Verification

Every AthX user goes through verification:

  • Email confirmation required
  • Age verification (18+ only)
  • Geographic eligibility check (state-by-state availability)
  • Account uniqueness validation

    • This ensures real people with real identities are trading on the platform.

    2. Progressive Trust System

    AthX uses a trust-based tier system:

  • Starter: New accounts with lower limits
  • Trusted: Proven account history
  • Established: Consistent, responsible usage
  • Veteran: Long-term, verified users

    • Higher trust unlocks higher deposit limits. This:

  • Prevents rapid large-scale fraud
  • Rewards legitimate users
  • Creates natural security gates

    • 3. Geographic Restrictions

    AthX operates only in states where we're legally permitted:

  • State-by-state availability verification
  • IP and location checking
  • Prevents access from restricted areas
  • Ensures regulatory compliance

    • 4. Self-Referral Prevention

    Our referral system includes fraud prevention:

  • Cannot use your own referral code
  • Device and account linking detection
  • Pattern analysis for suspicious referral activity
  • Automated blocking of fraudulent referrals

    • Protecting Market Integrity

    Fair Pricing

    Our dynamic pricing system is designed to prevent manipulation and ensure fair market conditions for all users. Prices move gradually based on real player performance, creating a stable trading environment.
