Most people who reach this page are in India and search for a BGMI proxy server, often as an APK. This page answers from the Krafton terms for Battlegrounds Mobile India, its rules of conduct and its monthly anti-cheat reports. The short answer: the terms bar "IP proxying" to disguise where you play. Unauthorized apps and modified game files can lead to a permanent ban, and the official game is on Google Play and the App Store.
What the terms say about proxies
The BGMI terms of service carry a version dated 30 June 2023. Among the prohibited uses, item (ab) is about proxies by name. You may not "use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the location of your use or Device, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on the use of the Game, the Documentation or Services or for any other purpose".
The same list covers the tools around it. You may not use the game "in connection with unauthorized software, applications, services, or Devices". You may not circumvent "any security protections or any technical measures that control access to the Game". And you may not use programs "that intercept communications in the Game between a game and a game server".
Proxy server apps and modified clients
The official BGMI site links the game on Google Play and on the App Store. The rules of conduct, in a version dated 19 February 2024, forbid changes to the game client, servers or data. In their words, "Unauthorized changes to the Game client (“ini” file modification, etc.), servers, or data (such as packets)" interfere with the service. Their penalty table sets the maximum penalty for each case.
| violation | maximum penalty |
|---|---|
| using or spreading unauthorized programs or devices | permanent ban |
| under investigation for such programs | 3 days ban |
| modifying the game client, servers or data | permanent ban |
| using the account of another player | permanent ban |
| trading or selling accounts | permanent ban |
The rules add that Krafton may stop the game running on a specific device where misconduct was found.
What the anti-cheat reports count
Krafton publishes a monthly anti-cheat report on the BGMI site. The two latest reports give these counts.
| count | July 2026 | August 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| cheating penalties | 452,996 | 452,454 |
| match crashing | 1,834 | 3,312 |
| via player review | 650 | 1,664 |
| cheat content removed | 569 | 301 |
The September report adds a single action. On 21 September 2026 Krafton applied "10-year account suspensions to approximately 60,000 accounts". Those accounts had unauthorized PAK file changes and cheating through virtual machines. Since July, a first detection of PAK file tampering brings a temporary suspension rather than a warning.
Your account
The September report reminds players that "sharing your account credentials or account access with another person is prohibited". It recommends linking at least two login methods and keeping the details private. The terms also bar using the account of someone else to reach the game.
If you use proxies for other work
Nothing on this page routes BGMI through a proxy, because the terms bar IP proxying for the game. For other apps on your phone, see how to set up a proxy on Android and on the iPhone. For other games, see our page on proxies for PUBG. For the basics, see what a residential proxy is and whether free proxies are safe. Our free proxy list and proxy checker cost nothing. Our ISP proxies start at $2.70/IP, our residential traffic at $0.44/GB, and mobile plans are on the pricing page.
The limits of this page
We did not install the game, test a proxy or a VPN in it, or open any proxy server APK. The Krafton texts we read do not mention an app called a proxy server, so this page rests on the terms and the rules. We did not read an official source on the ban of 2022 and the return of 2023, so this page leaves them out. This page is due for a check by 28 December 2026.
