The Monopoly GO team is committed to keeping the game fair, balanced, and fun for every player. In just one year, actions have been taken against over 1 million accounts that broke Fair Play rules. Cheating or exploiting doesn’t just harm the competition — it damages the community and spoils the enjoyment for everyone. This FAQ highlights what really counts as cheating, and clears up some of the most common myths circulating among players.
Cheating is defined as:
1. Using third-party software, automation tools, or modified game clients
2. Exploiting glitches or loopholes in the game
3. Buying or selling accounts
4. Acquiring in-game items or currency from unofficial sources
Playing strategically, playing frequently, and choosing whether or not to spend are not cheating. As long as the play is fair, there is nothing to worry about.
Myth 1: “Rolls are rigged. The game blocks me from getting the Dice Roll I need.”
Fact: Rolls are completely random. The system has even been reviewed by an independent third party to confirm fairness.
Myth 2: “If I earn too many Rolls, I’ll be banned.”
Fact: Players who grind events and earn big rewards are safe. Earning rolls through legitimate play will never lead to suspension.
Myth 3: “Spending a lot, or buying too many things at once, can trigger a ban.”
Fact: Account actions are not tied to spending. How players engage with the store is not part of enforcement decisions.
Myth 4: “Building lots of houses or landmarks at once could result in punishment.”
Fact: Building is core to MONOPOLY GO!. Players are encouraged to take advantage of multipliers and event boosts to progress faster.
Myth 5: “Using a VPN will get me banned.”
Fact: A VPN itself does not cause a ban. However, it may lead to unstable connections or access problems since the game is designed to run best without one.
Myth 6: “If I’m banned by mistake, nothing can be done.”
Fact: Players always have the right to appeal through Support. Mistaken suspensions are very rare, but every case is reviewed carefully if challenged.
Unofficial versions are unsafe: Playing Monopoly GO through anything other than official stores (App Store, Google Play, Samsung, etc.) can result in suspension.
Fair play ensures that Monopoly GO stays enjoyable for all. Stick to the official version, avoid unsafe third-party services, and focus on playing smart. As long as the game is played fairly, there is nothing to fear.
