I got to Legends by staying up way too late and playing 3 minute games until my wife yells at me

UpcommingGM a scris:

Sure, sandbagging is cheating. Rating manipulation and it will most likely get you banned.

Yup, I got closed for rating manipulation

CrusaderKing1:Yes it's illegal. Punishable by 9 months in prison.

I don’t think that is true because breaking the rules of a website is not illegal, so there are no legal consequences, the only consequence is that your account gets closed.

If you play for money, it might be illegal.
