WoT Fair Play Update: Bans for Cheaters and Riggers

Our work against cheaters and rigged battles has never stopped. In our most recent ban wave, we have enacted the following:

  • 3,837 cheaters penalized across EU servers
  • 1,475 cheaters banned across EU servers
  • 486 riggers banned across the EU servers

  • 171 cheaters penalized across NA servers
  • 56 cheaters banned across NA servers
  • 98 riggers banned across the NA servers
  • 332 cheaters penalized across ASIA1
  • 74 cheaters banned across ASIA1
  • 13 riggers banned across the ASIA1

It’s of the utmost importance to us to maintain a fair playing field to keep the competitive spirit of World of Tanks healthy and vital. We do not tolerate cheaters or riggers, and their removal from the game can only improve things for everyone else.

Penalization means a first-time warning and a temporary ban. All other bans are permanent. We leave no room for error—our team carefully checks every suspicious situation. If a player is penalized/banned, it is 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.

Fair Play Is Key

We encourage everyone to stay informed by reviewing our Fair Play Policy and understanding the consequences of violating it.

If you use mods, it’s important to ensure that you’re only using safe and approved ones. World of Tanks is open to modifications and customizations; however, we do not approve of unwelcome cheat-facilitating software that is used to manipulate gameplay and give unfair advantages. The best way to avoid unnecessary action against your account is by using mods from the official World of Tanks Mod Hub, where all mods are verified and safe to use.

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

  1. It IS out of control. Or the 3000 rating Obj140 that from 400 mt, exit from rocks just with a pixel of gun, and in a split second peek a boom without aim my 110E3 front cupola (front Cupola) while im moving too back and forward, and pen every time the same place in that same hole, was Guglielmo Tell…..

    1. shot distribution calculations are server side, the server determents where within the aim circle the shot will land so bad luck in your case.

      1. So, you are so Pro that can give Sentence, but have 1300 tomato rating ? Cant apply your incredible skills to aid yourself?

  2. I played three accounts this weekend on the same PC one after another, and one was banned for no reason.

    I play without any mods and in platoons, and my stats aren’t anything special.

    Why ONLY one out of three accounts if there was a “suspicious element”? No response from WG.

    And that’s not even counting the financial investment of several thousand euros—as if we’d want to lose EVERYTHING by “cheating.”

    Above all, this shows that there was a ban wave triggered by an AI with NO human oversight to check what was actually happening in this case.

      1. 1 st account : +300 premiums, all tanks (all WOT :P), BETA and 0 % fun.
        2 nd account : Just for FUN + with best premium/standard only + platoon => the WG ban.
        3 nd account : my children (because hospital…), -2k games need more good tanks.

        I don’t see what’s suspicious about that…

  3. Ridiculous
    Just after this fraud company of WG announced ban wave I met yet another 3 member platoon all ust driving somewhere, zero shots. Then random tanks staying AFK, or driving in corner and staying there without shooting for the rest of the battle. Then one mentally unstable kid using his account with two tanks and thousands of battle blocking my shot by moving in front of my gun, pushing me out of bush and trying to push me in open fire for five minutes straight.

    And that was EU2..EU3 is far worse and not so surprisingly EU1 is the leading orc farm.

    Till WG reintroduces RU servers again and shifts all orcs back there it is unplayable.

    Let them cheat each other.

  4. And for some time already this is happening – you are unspotted, enemy should not know about you but the moment you peek, with millisecond precision, you are shot, despite enemy is surrounded with spotted allies….just like they preaimed your never spotted tank and calculated trajectory… casual cheating

    WG frauds

  5. WG ought to ban itself
    With a +/- 25% RNG, they can rig every single match they want.

  6. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re scanning our mods folders now, when we log-in

    Got a naughty mod flagging up twice in 4 months? …and it’s adios amigo !

  7. Any mod giving you an advantage against players with no mods is a definition of cheating.

    Any moment WG can decide to blacklist any ‘legal’ mod and you are ‘screwed’- ha ha

    And remember, if you are by an ‘accident’ punished by WG you have chance to repel, WG will provide the evidence on which they charged you and WG support will always be helpful and will cartainly not say that if an automatic system banned you they can not do anything to revert it. – NOT 😀
