Tripster Blocks $14.4M in Fraud with Riskified

Five-year partnership protects 100% of booking volume while boosting approvals and ecommerce revenue

Riskified (NYSE: RSKD),  a global leader in ecommerce fraud prevention and risk intelligence, announced its continued partnership with Tripster, an online ticketing platform serving over 1.8 million users, to combat the growing threat of fraud in the travel sector. Over the past five years, Riskified has safeguarded 100% of Tripster’s booking volume, blocking more than $14.4 million in fraud.

Tripster provides tickets to a wide array of attractions, tours, and shows across the United States and Canada. As the company’s growth accelerated post-COVID, fraudsters exploited seasonal booking peaks, especially in theme park tickets, where instant electronic access made fraudulent orders particularly costly. Standard verification checks were no longer sufficient, leaving Tripster exposed to chargebacks that could wipe out the profits of ten legitimate sales.

“Managing fraud internally was exhausting for our team and drained resources we could have devoted to growth,” said John Johnson, CEO and Co-Founder of Tripster. “With Riskified we’ve seen a huge improvement in approvals and were able to confidently process more legitimate orders. The difference has been night and day. Fraud is detected almost instantly, and we can scale without fear of financial fallout.”

Riskified’s AI-powered platform seamlessly integrates with Tripster’s checkout, delivering real-time approve/decline decisions while guaranteeing chargeback protection on all approved transactions. Beyond fraud prevention, Riskified’s backend tools provide transparency into each decision, helping Tripster’s team better manage customers and optimize the booking flow.

“Travel and ticketing is one of the most fraud-targeted industries, where customers demand instant confirmations and merchants face high-stakes risks,” said Eido Gal, CEO and Cofounder of Riskified. “Our industry specialization and tailored machine learning models help Tripster confidently approve more legitimate bookings, protect revenue, and maintain a seamless customer experience even during peak seasons.”

Since partnering with Riskified, Tripster has shifted from manual fraud reviews to a fully automated, AI-driven approach, enabling operational efficiency and freeing staff to focus on customer service. With fraud eliminated as a barrier, Tripster continues to deliver competitive pricing, exclusive offers, and guaranteed bookings, providing fun-seekers a secure and worry-free path to memorable experiences.
