I think the upcoming business dashboard for venues will help give them tools to deal with this.There will always be people who wish to game the system and the more complicated you make the defences the more complicated the attack will become.@joel_hughes Hi,yeah – I think checkin fraud is an issue but it can be dealt with (I've blogged about it here http://www.joelhughes.com/foursquare-and-checki...)Basically I think as venue's start to offer rewards they may well check checkins (that has a nice ring to it!) and, if people cannot validate themselves when the checkin then they cannot be part of the rewards program.
