Yep the acct I made after my level 30+ got banned just got banned today. No idea how to avoid bans, I literally only went slowest speed (3.6 km/h walking speed) in one location (Central Park) on this account and it still got banned. The only thing I can think of is I waited about 3 hours (the time it takes to drive from NY to where I live) and logged on via my phone so I could buy a few coins for lucky eggs (also evolved about 80k-100k exp worth of Pokemon because I was told not to use the bot to evolve because it does too fast for a human). Waited another 3 hours and when I went to start the bot again I found out I had been banned. Out of ideas at this point. Think my only option is to buy an account and hope whoever leveled it did it in a way that won't get banned.

Really wish we knew what the trigger for a ban was. I don't think it's in the patterns of how the bot plays the game I think the data it sends or something just looks different then a legit accounts data.

Bans are now unavoidable, the fun is over and every account that's ever botted is now subject to eventual ban.

Post there instead.

Also don't bot on an account if you're not willing to lose it.

I'm sorry for your losses too
