# Risks of Exploiting

{% hint style="danger" %}
**MainDab is not "undetected", no Roblox exploit is "undetected"**

You risk a ban exploiting regardless of which exploit you pick. You should use an alternate account whilst exploiting.
{% endhint %}

### Exception: you are allowed to exploit in your own game

On 30 May 2025, [Roblox stated that exploiting in your own game is acceptable](https://devforum.roblox.com/t/an-update-on-automated-action-against-modified-clients/3640609).&#x20;

### Bans from Roblox

Roblox typically delivers temporary account bans if it detects exploiting.&#x20;

While the seriousness of bans is not known, an example of how bans may delivered is:

* First time: 1-day ban
* Second time: 3-day ban
* Third time: 7-day ban
* Forth time: permanent ban

Roblox is also capable of detecting other accounts that belong to you and may take action against all accounts. If you were to exploit on an alternate account, your main account may be affected.

It is not known if Roblox uses IP bans or HWID bans for exploiting.

### Bans from games

Games are now able to make use of the [Roblox Ban API.](https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-to-use-the-new-ban-api-with-code-examples/3045051) The Ban API attempts to prevent any Roblox account belonging to you — not just your alternate account — from joining a game.

As such, games can truly "permanently ban" you.

### Bypassing bans

The authors of the MainDab Documentation are unsure as to how ban evasion could be conducted. However, the following methods could have some degree of success:

* Using a HWID spoofer - [see this kernel mode spoofer](https://github.com/semihcevik/hwidspoofer).
* Using a VPN or tunneling your whole device through a proxy to prevent IP bans. Free VPNs are readily available. If you have money, consider self-hosting a VPN or proxy service.
* Do not add Roblox accounts using Roblox's switch account functionality.
* Use a different Windows user account.
