Now, however, players who get only one suspension continually find new suspensions on Pokemon GO, preventing them from playing the game again. According to Niantic, 90% of players who got the first ban stopped cheating afterwards and never got a second strike. Given this system, it is rare for players to even get to the second offense. A third offense could lead to the cheater’s account being permanently banned. The first strike will get a player a seven-day ban, while a second offense will be punished with a ban for as long as a month. Niantic currently has a very clear policy against cheating. Pokemon GO is unjustly banning players for cheating Image via Niantic Some players have even found third or fourth penalties and are still waiting to play the game again. Recently, though, suspended players have been returning to Pokemon GO after a week to find that they have a second seven-day ban to wait out, potentially missing out on events like the Spring into Spring event. Players who are found on one offense of cheating typically receive a seven-day suspension. Many Pokemon GO players have been complaining about receiving unwarranted bans from Niantic.
