Lets clear up misconceptions here. Bluestacks is not allowed. The nature of the term "Allowed" implies you were given permission to do something. Supercell has made it clear that bluestacks is not an authorized platforim for supercell games. It is not supported and if you have any issues while using it younwill not receive support. however, at this time, you will not be banned for using it.
Ok, this is good to hear, I don't use it (was confusing and I don't feel like it) so many can calm down over it, yay!Quote:

So should i keep using Bluestacks (i use it mostly as my phones battery doesnt last very long) or not ?. I'm really scared of being banned .

What if I use Bluestacks or other emulators? Will I be banned for that?
- No, but for practical support related purposes, we encourage you not to use them.

There's the relevant portion and a link in bold. All your doing with these quotes is confusing me and others. As other mods have already said it IS allowed and won't ever get you banned. It simply isn't encouraged and Supercell either can't or won't accept responsibility nor provide support or assistance to those that do use it. Or at least, that's what this quote says.
The reason I say this isn't clear is because by saying it isn't allowed, your saying Supercell bans it's use, and has a punishment for those who use it, but according to Supercell themselves, they don't ban it's use and you won't be hurt or touched for using it, as long as it's not used to mod or cheat.
Sometimes you have to look at things with a legal perspective. Support may have used the term allowed, but in a legal sense it is not. Again, allowed implies you were given permission to do something. If you are given permission to do something, then that something would inherently be supported. The nature of something not being supported means you do not have permission to do something.Quote:

Bluestack is not a supported platform, it is not an authorized platform. The use of Bluestack is at your own risk, you will not be banned for it (under current policy) but you do risk losing some or all of your accounts if you face issues.
The question is whether you would get banned for it, which you will not.Quote:

I am not saying anything that you are saying. I'm saying exactly what you quoted but with more words to clarify. I did not say you will be punished for it's use and I have never stated that you would be.
Thanks. That's all I wanted to confirm.Quote:

So this is what I found: BlueStacks is not officially authorized, but it will not, by itself, get you banned as long as you don't use anything else to cheat.
This is the House of Clashers post now:
Sorry about the wrong info, but no harm done. :) Thanks for using House of Clashers app.Quote:
Supercell is pushing "Fair Play" for a long time now, but the day to mass ban hackers and cheaters arrived for good only now!
Today a massive amount of accounts that were using third party software to play Clash of Clans were banned for life, losing their accounts forever.
Not a week or month ban, this is lifetime ban, you will lose your account forever and there is nothing you can do about it. It doesn't matter how long you play or how much money you spend on the game.
EDIT: There is a lot of confusion about Bluestacks, a PC emulator to play Clash of Clans. According to multiple sources, YouTubers and long time Clashers, only by using Bluestacks will not get you banned. Supercell still doesn't authorize the use of this tool, but using it will not, by itself, get you banned, as long as you don't use other mod or tool to cheat the game.
