Are heavy spenders less likely to get banned?

I. The myth of pay-to-win safety

Some Pokémon GO players spend large sums of money on items, incubators, and raid passes—sometimes reaching the top of spending leaderboards.
This leads to the belief that Niantic will “go easy” on such high-paying accounts and avoid banning them.

For spoofers, this idea is tempting:

  • Enjoy the convenience of cross-region spoofing.

  • Feel “protected” by the money spent.

But in reality, bans do not work that way.


II. What bans are based on

Niantic’s ban system is primarily triggered by abnormal behavior detection, such as:

  • Unrealistic movement speeds.

  • Long-distance teleports within short times.

  • Use of unauthorized third-party apps.

  • Automated actions.

When detected, bans follow the three-strike policy:

  1. Warning,

  2. Temporary suspension,

  3. Permanent ban.

This process applies equally, regardless of spending level.

In other words:

  • Spending only affects Niantic’s business losses.

  • It does not alter detection algorithms or relax ban conditions.


III. Why people believe “spenders are safer”

This belief usually comes from two observations:

  1. High-spending players tend to know the rules and cooldown system better → fewer abnormal triggers.

  2. Extra resources (e.g., more raid passes) keep them active in the same area longer, making their movement patterns look more natural.

But this is due to player behavior, not Niantic granting immunity to spenders.


IV. Why choose FlyMon

Whether you spend money or not, abnormal movement can still get you banned.
The key is to minimize abnormal actions.

FlyMon helps by:

  • Built-in cooldown timer – automatically calculates safe wait times based on travel distance, preventing premature risky actions.

  • Stable hardware-level spoofing – minimizes GPS drift, keeping Niantic’s location checks smooth and natural.

  • Joystick walking + teleportation – enables movement that better mimics real player behavior.

  • Auto-catching, auto-spinning, and auto-reconnect – ensures resources keep flowing even during cooldown, so time isn’t wasted.

For any spoofer, FlyMon isn’t just about convenience—it’s a long-term safeguard for account safety.
