WoT Fair Play Update: Advanced Detection, Permanent Bans for Riggers

Ensuring a fair and competitive environment has always been a top priority for us. Many thanks to all of you who play fair and report rule violations—your dedication, along with our own ongoing detection efforts, make World of Tanks a better and more enjoyable place.

Today, we’d like to give you an update on the current situation with rigged battles. Here’s a quick reminder of what that means:

What Are Rigged Battles?

Rigged battles are matches where players break the rules by creating unfair conditions to gain in-game advantages—such as farming easy damage, boosting stats, or earning rare awards.

This kind of behavior breaks the rules and ruins the experience for players who want to play fair and follow the rules. That’s why rigging leads to permanent bans with no prior warning from our side.

Constant Detection. Immediate Action

Our work against rigged battles has never stopped. In our most recent ban wave, we permanently banned:

  • 407 players across the EU cluster
  • 40 players across the NA cluster

All bans are permanent and issued without warning. There’s no room for error—our team carefully checks every suspicious situation. If a player is banned, it’s because we have 100% verified proof.

Impact on Events and Leaderboards

Rigging doesn’t just affect stats—it also influences major in-game events. That’s why all accounts involved in rigging will be excluded from the relevant Leaderboards.

We want to protect the spirit of competition and fairness—and we’ll keep cleaning things up wherever needed.

Know the Rules and Play Fair!

Don’t take the risk—cheating always leads to a ban, no matter how advanced the unfair method/mod/script might seem. Knowing the Fair Play Policy rules—and sticking to them—is the only way to keep your account safe.

  1. lol
    They’d lose 50% of the playerbase if they banned cheeters
    Thing is the game is too easy now when they aren’t there, like on the morning of a new update
    Most players have never learnt to aim straight or time their shots properly because they didn’t need to

    It is what it is, and anyone who didn’t like it is long gone

    1. Cheaters? Whole 50??? like in a day? Nope 😀

      Every single day I meet at least 10 ‘players’ on my own. Tanks without a single shot surviving till the end of a battle by the red line or moving to usual places and shooting ground without enemy no where around to be found.

      Another huge unspormanlike conduct/ cheating is drowning…again every single day, most often artas, multiple ***** drowning.

      So copy pasting article about banning cheaters is an insult more than anything else. And stating they have a team working on it? A small team of one, randomly banning a bot accountand while at the same time making sure they never had spent a penny on the game…because if you pay they will never ban you.

  2. There seems to be an unwritten rule where if you play after midnight in randoms with game cheats then that’s fine and they won’t bother about you at all

    Ranked battles were taken quite seriously and resulted in a lot of expulsions… so they got rid of that one lol

    It is what it is, and anyone who didn’t like it is long gone

  3. every time i try to post on this website i have to ‘enter all mt details everytime’ i do that and then this website loses/ forgets/ deletes my details????????
    Armoured Patrol is nothing like it used to be …..
    which you can see from the lack of comments here compare to 2 yrs ago and more
    why?
    used to love coming here for info and chat
    but now
    website is losing logins details ……….

  4. Once my tank turned blue and my team shot me ass and I deaded. I think this is cheating!

    My pronouns are thus, that, then
