What can ban you from Pokemon Go?

According to the official page of Niantic, producer of the game, many reasons can cause a player to have their account banned from the game.

The main reasons are:

• Using the game to promote hostility against people or groups
• Fake location with Fake GPS or similar tools
• Using unauthorized programs to play Pokémon Go, such as emulators or mods
• Hack Pokémon Go software to gain access to the code

These practices are not always guaranteed to cause a ban. However, if detected by Niantic, or if it is reported by third parties, it is practically certain to occur.

The ban, when it happens, leaves you out of the game and does not allow you to enter the account. There is, however, the so-called “shadowban”.

Explaining shadowban

Shadowban is less severe. It still lets you into the game, but limits access to some functions. Niantic doesn't officially indicate the causes and punishments of shadowban, but it ranges from not appearing Pokémon on the map or not being able to fight other players.

Typically, shadowbans happen when the player commits “less serious” infractions, such as gambling while driving. Also, it is automatically removed after a short period of time.

I was unfairly banned, now what?

If the player believes they have been unfairly banned, the most practical way is to file a complaint and dispute it directly with Niantic.

For this, the developer offers an official Help Center page: Official Pokémon Go Help Center Page

In this link the player fills in, in order:

1. User name
2. Email used to access the account
3. Type of problem
4. Detailed description of the problem
5. Attach files (Optional)
6. Preferred language to receive the answer

The deadline for the answer varies a lot and is said by Niantic itself, at the end of the registration.

In the case of shadowban, or if it is a ban by mistake, you can always try to log out and log in again, delete and install the app again or even test on another phone.
