Looks like there are 5 charges for same click

    When checking stats noticed that there are 5 identical entries.

    Not sure if this is a very rare situation or it occurs often, because only recent clicks are displayed.

    There should be some protection against duplicate charges (click could count or work only first time for same link/visitor combination).

    This does not seem fair (paying multiple times for same visitor).

    Also this can be a vulnerability: competitors can just click a link multiple times and consume daily budget and then activate their ads, so only their ads show to potential buyers for the rest of the day.
    Recent Clicks Detail

    This is recent clicks activity for your ads.

    There are protections against duplicate clicks. But for whatever reason the system may have thought those were legit clicks for whatever reason. Will look into those specific clucks to figure out why.

    I checked those instances... the 3rd one was 2 clicks for 2 different ads (so that would be normal).

    The others appear to be normal humans as far as their overall traffic in the logs. The only thing I can think of is if their browser isn't using cookies or some other method of tracking who they are as far as being a unique visitor, the system that blocks them from clicking a second time may not work in that case since there's no way to determine who they are (relative to other users).
