The recent advent of play-to-earn (P2E) systems in massively multiplayer
online role-playing games (MMORPGs) has made in-game goods interchangeable with
real-world values more than ever before. The goods in the P2E MMORPGs can be
directly exchanged with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Klaytn
via blockchain networks. Unlike traditional in-game goods, once they had been
written to the blockchains, P2E goods cannot be restored by the game operation
teams even with chargeback fraud such as payment fraud, cancellation, or
refund. To tackle the problem, we propose a novel chargeback fraud prediction
method, PU GNN, which leverages graph attention networks with PU loss to
capture both the players' in-game behavior with P2E token transaction patterns.
With the adoption of modified GraphSMOTE, the proposed model handles the
imbalanced distribution of labels in chargeback fraud datasets. The conducted
experiments on three real-world P2E MMORPG datasets demonstrate that PU GNN
achieves superior performances over previously suggested methods.Comment: Under Review, Industry Trac
