WoT Fair Play Update: Bans for Riggers

Keeping the competitive spirit of World of Tanks healthy and lively is of the utmost importance to us. Riggers and cheaters won’t be tolerated, and we will remain fully committed to their removal from the game, as this can only improve the experience for everyone else.

Today, we’d like to give an update on the actions we’re taking to protect fair play by keeping the riggers out.

Immediate Action on Riggers

Our work against rigged battles continues. In our most recent ban wave, we have enacted the following:

  • 80 riggers banned across the EU servers
  • 26 riggers banned across the NA servers
  • 12 riggers banned across the Asia server

All bans for riggers are permanent. We leave no room for error—our team carefully checks every suspicious situation. If a player is banned or penalized, it’s because we have 100% verified proof.

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.

Important Note Regarding the Sector 3 Campaign

Fair play is important in all modes, and we made sure to include battles contributing to the new Personal Missions campaign, Sector 3. We appreciate tankers who, through their dedication and skills, move toward recognition. However, we have again identified attempts to complete the campaign dishonestly, and those violators have been permanently banned among other riggers. We strongly recommend refraining from any attempts to obtain rewards through prohibited means, as those who break the rules will be detected and blocked.

Let’s continue to maintain a fair environment and enjoy the game responsibly.

  1. The cheating and rigging issues in the game have all become so institutionalised I doubt whether anyone gives a damn anymore

    Far easier to play a couple of games for fun… then log out and go do something else.

    A lot less frustrating too, the game starts messing with your head if you play it too much.

    They have a data on every game you ever played and every move you ever made and every decision you ever took, how long, how much..
    …and their player algorithm never sleeps
    it just lays out your next scenario… and records your reactions

    We are digital guinea pigs. eek! eek!

  2. Yes, rigged matches are the biggest WoT problem. Not the hordes of brainless/AFK BOT’s playing this game….

    1. Yes, rigged match. Because when you meet in Onslaught one player that reach 8000 damage and penetrate every shoot fired, when you move, while he moving, when both movin at full speed at 300 of range and you be snapshotted and penetrated with zero miss/zero bounce, and his account is zero random battles, every shoot as son as he reload, is less competitive and fun than havin tomato around. 80 players only?… LOL

  3. Time ago in one battle i meet 1 player done 15.000 damage with Maus. None of enemy team fired at him and all have similar nick (es Pinko_Bro, Tank_Bro, Wot_Bro……) and all nicks have just some fews battles in account. Looks fun battle? After a reseach, i founded entire clans made by similar accounts.

      1. question was another… how it was possible to put 15 rigger account in the same team vs a choosen accout in the other?

    1. OK, I agree totally but…
      How many people play Onslaught and how many play random battles ?
      Should BOTH get the same attention to this problem ?
      You can play great, you can play badly. But at the end, most battles are decided with who you are in the team. And I cannot win alone or with 5-6 BOT’s/riggers.

      And this WG move with free tier 10’s for everyone just made that issue even worst.

      As you said, only 80 !!!

      Here WG, let me help you:
      (at least 1000 people you can ban today and actual player would thank you)

      https://pkmods.com/obvious-bot-users-in-wot/

      1. the first “Bot” in your link has over 2k Wot Rating. there is no way thats a bot. actually the first 5. 2700-2900, you DONT get such values with bot programms. no explanation why they are on that list. its a waste of time for WG tbh.

        if anyone wants someone banned, tehy send in a replay, inc timemarks that 10% prooft they are botting, rigging or cheating. and then the player WIL get banned.

        1. No, they wont. Because the decision to ban someone is done by badly trained WG monkeys…
          If that was true, EU would loose +50% of users.
          Why ?
          Because from my site ALONE, Shaytan (ZJmods aimbot) get downloaded per patch +50.000 times. So, from my site alone, 50.000 people use this aimbot. And there are 8 different free aimbots. Do the math…

            1. WoT knows who is running cheats

              Those wavy aimbot dudes are obvious

              They simply put the cheaters in one team and none in the other team and voilla !

              Yet another 15-2 fuckfest from world of tanks!

              Please rate your game! Great. Awesome. or Magnificent.

  4. lol and that is why the game is full of bots and cheaters…. 80 bans 😁 like 8000 more likely. And when you spot riggers… like 4 tanks from same clan in one battle… 3 on enemy team… no platoons and clan has only 4 members in total…. and my report os laughed at by WG…. So some very strong statement supported by 80 bans is laughed at by me. We can do nothing else.

    1. maybe it was loughed at because you were missing something? or not putting the ticket correctly (words)?

      Last Time I saw 3 players playing together in this survival mode, same clan, no platoon. I wrote a ticket with replay, stated the issue and said where you can clearrly see they work together. all 3 were banned later.

      If you have proof, like also otehr battles where they were all together, add these replay files aswell.

      put in the timestamp where you can se ethat the 3 and 1 palyer are actually rigging the game and playing together/ farming etc.
