Botting and laws

[Biscoff_Biscuit-cream]

i couldn't find much on internet about this matter so i am asking it here, is botting against the law ? what could you possibly risk ? what about doing it on a cloud gaming computer ?

Could it get you banned? Yeah.
Could it get a swat team breaking down your front door? Probably not

Thank you for reply, what about using cloud gaming aka virtual machines hosted by other companies for botting ?

It doesnt matter where your bot is running. If your country doesnt have laws against botting (which - atleast in the eu - there are none), you are safe from law enforcement. You can still get your account banned, doesnt matter if you are running a bot on your PC, in the cloud or on your phone. Depending on the game you are playing, using a cloud computer even increases your chance of getting banned. I.e. its against the ToS for World of Warcraft to play via cloud gaming services.

Ah ok, thank you, i was looking also for an answer like this one since i was concerned about the law. I know that some bots currently are working on clouds and they say they are fine, plus i wouldn't have to pay electricity and internet and i would have differents macs and ips. I see this only as an improvement. Thank you.
