Safety & anti-abuse

A monetized link platform only works if creators, visitors, and advertisers can all trust it. These are the rules we enforce and the protections we run in the background.

Content that is never allowed

• • Malware, exploits, drive-by downloads, or fake "installer" pages.
• • Phishing, credential harvesting, or pages impersonating banks, wallets, or login providers.
• • Adult or sexually explicit content, including links to such content on third-party hosts.
• • Pirated software, leaked paid courses, or copyrighted material you don't have rights to distribute.
• • Scams: fake giveaways, fake airdrops, fake job offers, "make money fast" schemes, romance scams.
• • Hate speech, threats, doxxing, harassment, or violent extremism.
• • Content sexualizing minors — instantly removed and reported to authorities.
• • Gambling, weapons, drugs, and other locally regulated content in jurisdictions where it's illegal.

Traffic that voids earnings

• • Self-clicking your own links or coordinating clicks with friends.
• • Paid-to-click (PTC) networks, click farms, or any incentivized traffic.
• • Bots, automation, headless browsers, and autorefreshers.
• • Embedding links in iframes, pop-unders, or hidden elements to inflate clicks.
• • Geo-spoofing or VPN networks used to game country-based payout rates.

We score every click with a mix of device signals, IP reputation, behavioral patterns, and unlock timing. Suspicious traffic is filtered before it ever counts toward earnings. Accounts with sustained fraud patterns are restricted or banned without refund.

Protections for visitors

• • Every destination is shown in plain text before redirect — visitors always know where they're going.
• • No pop-unders, no push notifications, no auto-downloads, no surprise installs.
• • Destinations are scanned against known malware and phishing lists.
• • Reported links are reviewed manually and removed if they violate this policy.

Reporting abuse

Saw a Linkvel link doing something it shouldn't? Email abuse@linkvel.com with the full short URL and a brief description of what you observed. We respond to most reports within one business day and take action immediately on malware, phishing, and CSAM reports.

Responsible monetization

We ask every creator to think of the visitor on the other end. If you wouldn't share a link with a friend, don't share it on Linkvel. Honest links, fair countdowns, and clean destinations are what keep the platform open for everyone.
