Note: I HAVE NOT BEEN BANNED. This is not my screenshot. I got it off Reddit.

Update at the bottom of a player who was banned, who is now not banned – and they got free diamonds as an apology.

Wait – what’s going on? Permaban wave?

Yeah. Pretty much. A lot of accounts that were cheating are being banned right now. They started mass bannings on 3/26 to kick people who are using a hack called ‘Lazy Castle’.

What is ‘Lazy Castle’? What does it do?

Lazy Castle is a hack of Hustle Castle. It works by installing a different APK (that’s android/iPhone software).

Why would they ban you for this?

Simple. It’s cheating. The benefits gained from this hack are as follows:

Speed up battle without premium

Show ability cooldown

Show equipment power of other players

Duel without Arsenal Defense

Show change opponent cooldown

Precalculate PvP, PvE, Arena, Portal, and Gem Bay battles, this will help prepare to use spells, or let you know if you should choose a different opponent

Restart a battle if you’re about to lose

Buy HUGELY discounted chests from Arena Store

Why would these lead to bans?

Well, keep in mind.. this game is designed to make money, some form of money. Stuff like “Speed up battle” is a premium (pay) for feature. So if you’re removing money from the game, they’re going to ban you. Some of these are relatively innocent, like the timers. The hugely discounted chests though are a big problem. You’d be able to gear out at a new TR pretty quick using this cheat.

Some examples were the TR 10 Arena chest going for 4k arena points, instead of 39600.

What to do if you were banned erroneously?

I’m sure this HAS happened, though I doubt it happened frequently. You can contact support if this happened to you erroneously, but be warned, detecting cheaters in a game is fairly simple to do, especially when you’re connecting into a game server with different version software than they have released. If you got this message, you probably deserved the ban.

Update below of a player who was banned, they submitted a ticket, now they’re back in:

Also – it appears he was gifted some Diamonds, as an ‘Apology’…
