I have encountered multiple bullet cheaters @YellowVenom (I believe after enquiring that they use a bot called chessbot that automatically plays moves and the moves are customisable). Anyway, I personally think it is unethical to even cheat against a bot but am not sure about the regulations in this case.

as long as you won't cheat against real people that is ok

Anyway you wont get banned for using an engine against a bot. That's how many low rated players beat the Mittens bot. People were even talking about it on the forum and they were obviously not banned.
For example I used my Stockfish against that bot.
@HollyFlax As a staff of chess.com, I must say the answer to this is no. Although it hurts nobody, but the practise itself is strictly banned on chess.com. This is because at the end of every game our server examines your game accuracy as well as your opponent and your ratings. If multiple games seem to be suspicious, there will be a staff coming to verify if the player has cheated or not.
If you really want to test out your engine, I suggest you log out of your account first and then play the bot anonymously so that it doesn't affect your account. I hope you find this useful.
