will you get banned using a bot while playing a friend?

I was wondering this for a while that if you just troll your friends with using bots will you get banned? I know if you use bots in real games you get banned.

I read that you can use engines in unrated games but you have to tell the other person you are doing it.

This is correct. Rated games will get am account closed. Unrated can if your opponent is not aware and doesn't approve of it. 

 

So trolling friends would risk closure, even in unrated games.

I played one of my friends and showed them the engine, I played them with the engine in unrated, obviously. I told him before the match I used an engine. So Les that count as a ban?

if they agreed, then I don't think you will be banned
