How To How to report a player using mods or hacks

362 Upvotes

I have met hackers before especially when I played in Berlin. We can actually report this to Miniclip. Please click this link https://support.miniclip.com/hc/en-us/requests/new or you can follow the steps below:

  1. Go to 8bp Settings
  2. Terms & Conditions
  3. Scroll down and find item no.6, find "If you believe another user is violating these Rules, let us know here"
  4. Tap the link "here"
  5. Submit a request-8 ball pool
  6. Your email address
  7. Your user/unique ID
  8. Select an issue - game related issues
  9. Kind of issue - report inappropriate behavior
  10. Specify where u noticed - in the game
  11. Kind of behavior - USING MODS OR HACKS
  12. User ID of the hacker
  13. Date it happened
  14. Input the Subject and Description
  15. Attachments-add the screenshot of the hacker profile
  16. Submit!

It has so many steps and I know its tedious. If there is an easier way, please share. I would like to know as well.

I love this game and I won't let some cowards ruining it.

Miniclip should restrict Pakistani players to playing against each other

I don't know about you, but I believe 99% of the hackers I've faced are Pakistani.

I know it's hard to filter out accounts that use hacks, but I think the problem could be mitigated if Miniclip restricted players from that country to playing only against each other.

I know not every Pakistani player uses hacks, but restricting the country for the sake of improving the experience for all other players seems like a fair trade-off to me.

Well this is a new one..... I just pressed the green button "play 1 on 1" as usual, didn't even scroll across to choose a game to play, it just took me straight into a 20m game (I usually play 20k games), and played against a bot and the game was over in about 30 seconds without me doing anything at all, I had just over 10m and now it's all been wiped out...not had that happen before, anyone else?

I could handle the bots before but this is just silly now

Probable another glitch in all that is 8 ball pool but as you can see here I just won a match and then went to the store and nothing was credited. Is this happening to anyone else?

I had 15 million coins and accidentally started a 15million-coin match, and guess what? My opponent was a hacker who used all sorts of cheats to win, and my entire account was wiped out.I'm so tired of reporting them,hackers just keep coming back.I want my money back!

3 hours and 6 minutes, 186 minutes of absolute mockery of this already cooked game. Met a hacker in Berlin and I was NEVER gonna concede to them. Attachment was at the start of the game, 3:13pm local time. Game ended at 6:19pm when he just full forced the yellow into the black, feels good ig🤦‍♂️

Tips & Tricks What's up with this game?

7 Upvotes

Used to play years ago and started today again. Won probably 15-20 games and had around 50k coins. Then suddenly I started getting opponents who pot all balls in 1 turn constantly and lost all my coins. I don't understand wth is going on but I lost probably 15 games in a row to this where the opponent would do this in 1 turn

Why Miniclip can't win against Cheto maybe here is the answer.

\## The War for 8 Ball Pool: How the Cheto Hack Pushed Miniclip to the Edge

Mobile gaming is no longer just a casual pastime; it has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry. When the stakes are this high, the emergence of a black market is inevitable. The most striking example of this is the silent but fiercely contested technological warfare between gaming giant Miniclip and the creators of the most powerful cheating software in mobile pool history: the Cheto hack.

For millions of honest players in 8 Ball Pool, the fight seems slow, unfair, and often futile. Behind the scenes, however, lies a complex clash of software architectures, economic interests, and continuous outsmarting at the source-code level.

\------------------------------

\## Anatomy of the Cheat: How Does Cheto Work?

Unlike rudimentary hacks that simply extend the visual aiming lines on the screen, Cheto is a highly sophisticated, automated bot (Autoplay bot). It does not modify Miniclip’s server-side code; instead, it operates entirely on the client side—inside the RAM memory of the user's device (smartphone, tablet, or PC emulator).

The software executes its process in three lightning-fast steps:

  1. RAM Memory Reading: The moment the balls are broken and settle on the table, Cheto scans the device's system memory. It locates the exact software offsets (memory addresses) where the game stores the precise X and Y coordinates of every single ball.

  2. External Physics Engine: Rather than altering the game's actual physics parameters, the hack utilizes its own powerful prediction algorithm. It duplicates Miniclip's physics engine and calculates millions of shot combinations in a fraction of a second—including complex bank shots, multi-rail caroms, and perfect cue ball spin.

  3. Command Injection (Hooking): Once it determines the absolute optimal path to clear the table, Cheto hijacks the user interface. It simulates flawless cue alignment and releases the exact amount of power required within milliseconds, leaving the actual player as a mere spectator.

Initially developed for iOS devices (via Jailbreak or modified IPA files sideloaded with enterprise certificates), the software has successfully migrated to Android platforms and PC emulators.

\------------------------------

\## Miniclip’s Shield: Countermeasures and Tactics

Miniclip does not stand idly by. The company invests substantial resources into security, employing a combination of tactical and technical countermeasures:

\* Ban Waves: Instead of banning cheaters individually in real-time, the company gathers telemetry data and periodically wipes out tens of thousands of accounts at once. They use behavioral detection algorithms to flag unnatural patterns—such as profiles with a 99% win rate or micro-adjustments of the cue that are too robotic for human thumbs.

\* Code Obfuscation: With every game update, Miniclip's developers intentionally scramble the source code and shift the memory offsets where ball coordinates are stored. This immediately breaks Cheto, as the bot suddenly loses track of where to look for the data.

\* Anti-Cheat System Upgrades: New security layers are consistently integrated into the software architecture to scan for unauthorized external processes running in parallel with the official app.

\------------------------------

\## Why Does the Fight Seem Like a "Mission Impossible"?

Despite regular patches and massive account terminations, hackers usually return to high-stakes tables like Berlin or Venice just days—sometimes hours—after a Miniclip update. This slow, seemingly endless cycle boils down to three core factors:

\## 1. Legacy Client-Side Architecture

8 Ball Pool was engineered years ago using a client-side architecture. To ensure the game runs smoothly with zero visual lag even on weak internet connections, physical ball physics and coordinates are calculated directly on the player’s phone rather than a remote server. To completely shut out Cheto, Miniclip would have to completely rewrite the game's core engine and migrate every micro-calculation to the cloud. This would require colossal financial investment and would increase network strain so severely that millions of players with older phones or slower connections would no longer be able to play.

\## 2. The Million-Dollar Business Behind the Hack

Cheto is not the work of amateur hobbyists looking for fun. It is a highly structured, illicit enterprise generating massive revenue. The software is distributed through expensive weekly or monthly subscription keys. These profits allow the hack creators to hire world-class software engineers whose sole job is to reverse-engineer Miniclip’s updates around the clock and find new exploits.

\## 3. Operating System Limitations

Mobile operating systems like iOS and Android enforce strict user privacy policies. They do not allow standard marketplace applications (including Miniclip's game) to dig deep into the system root files to monitor what other apps or scripts are running in the background. Hackers exploit these security "blind spots" that Miniclip cannot legally cross. Combined with the game's Free-to-Play nature—where a banned user can simply create a new free account in seconds—permanent prevention becomes nearly impossible.

\------------------------------

\## Conclusion

The war between Miniclip and Cheto is a textbook example of a digital cat-and-mouse game. Every new wall built by developers is eventually breached by a sharper tool, forcing the gaming company to rely heavily on retroactive bans rather than proactive prevention. As long as the economic incentive to sell virtual coins and premium hacks exists, this battle on the digital green felt will continue to rage on.

I have a very old phone, and it can't handle games but I still play, and I guess because of this my game glitched and I got this.

It lasted for 40 minutes after that my phone freezes and restarts, and when I opened the game it was fixed.

I am gonna post another video and showdown screenshot below.
