COD MOBILE multiple account banned, Bluestacks 5

Just recently I got banned on COD mobile several times, did what was suggested on the support, that thing did not even help! I already created several accounts and my main account is in a risk of total ban! I already did try it on several devices, still banned after even playing just one game! even tried creating a guest account and boom! BANNED! don’t make me wrong but the app is really good but with this issue don’t point it to the COD developers disclaimers about banning, it’s the app that is having an issue, I tried with other emulator and I was able to play several games without banning my other guest account. Fix this…

However, in the last few days, there have been multiple reports of player bans on BlueStacks v5.4 as well.

CODM New Bans on 5.4.0.1063 – FORGET BLUESTACKS

After reports of new bans I installed the new version 5.4.0.1063 of Bluestacks to test my secondary account and was banned for 24 hours in the first match, it’s not enough for you guys to fix it, the emulator is good but it’s not certified by the developers, no matter how many times you fix it, developers of CODM will create a new trigger, and new accounts will be banned because the emulator is not certified, THE EMULATOR IS GOOD BUT NOT CERTIFIED.

BlueStacks team is aware, official workaround doesn’t work

The BlueStacks team is already aware that even the latest v5.4 update is not safe to play Call of Duty: Mobile. Previously, they offered as a ‘workaround’ to use the aforementioned version. But, that didn’t help.

To the problem of the bans that still persist, v5.4 BlueStacks team points out that this remains ‘at the discretion of the app developers’. But, the issue has been escalated to try to find a solution.
