Hardware bans follow repeat offenders in Marathon. Here is what HWID bans mean and why spoofer talk keeps showing up.

Account bans stop one login. HWID bans stop the machine. Marathon inherits industry-standard escalation: cheat, get caught, cheat again on a new account, lose the PC fingerprint too.

What triggers HWID bans

Repeated offenses, known cheat driver traces, and linked accounts flagged together. Ban waves often hit weeks after the offense.

Spoofers

HWID spoofers mask disk and motherboard IDs. They are sold alongside game cheats — including on Marathon cheat sites — and they carry their own detection risk.
