Grey listing VPN's are going to become increasingly problematic as people using phones and additional gadgets are increasingly becoming more popular making it look more and more like proxies, however, it's just normal people on gadgets.

SMS is a really awful solution, they take so much of the damn money and it doesn't rebill.

And 3d is just such a pain in the ass, and you, running paysites, are relying on the rebills. You can say anything you want about offering a 6 month package or whatever, but you and I both know most of your money comes from rebills. Rebills are not protected from chargebacks regardless if they used 3D to join or not.

So you're back to square one. What to do with countries?

Don't block any and open the flood gates if you are not having those affiliates trying to card your program. And since you offer revshare, you won't get many carders. Carders like the PPS model.

So really, don't do a single thing, ever, with your billing and simply leave it alone. Don't do any pre-scrub either with IP or anything else, as it will just lead to false positives and you accidentally blocking good joins.

If you were to say you do have the occassional affiliate trying to game your program, the advice would be different. But it would be only monitoring the affiliate with a custom program and then simply banning the bad affiliates.
