Cheating at king.com?!

It's just rough that the site publishes the rules, and you read them and comply with them and then get banned! That just goes against some fundamental instinct in people I think. Intellectually you can spin an argument to support the site being vigilant and unjustly banning 1 innocent player is better than allowing a cheater to negatively impact 100's of innocent players. But when you are the innocent player who got banned it just sucks!

@ Kworb, I was in a similar situation as my bro is extremely good at games just like me as we have always been very competitive, pushing each other.
The difference is I had moved out so gave him the go ahead about a year on to play as I now lived ~80 miles away. But he still got banned wrongly.
They never gave a reason, but I assume like you say it's because we were good at all the same games, mainly because we grew up playing the same games.
This will usually be the case I expect with people living together, you share tactics and advise each other and so end up playing similar unfortunately.
I would never advise anyone to open more than 1 account per household and never log in anywhere but their own PC.

Yep I agree, more than one (gold) account per household that are both making a profit are very susceptible to being banned. It sucks, but I understand why King is so strict. They could put a bit more effort in keeping their legit players though.

When you follow the rules you aren't supposed to get punished! I guess that's the fundamental issue. So I play games and enjoy, but in the back of my brain I just wonder when I'll get the email telling me I'm a cheater and my account is terminated!

i know! i have been very viligent about following all the rules on any skillgame site i go to. to punish legits just seems extremely hypocritical. if you are gonna punish legits then why have rules or a TOS in the first place? then to punish legits while leltting cheaters run rampant. pffffft its like why bother following the rules at all -.-
