Top reply there: > It sounds like if you want the answers you desire then you'll need to contact a lawyer and figure out if you have any right to them. What legal recourse would there even be here? Some sort of civil action? | |||||||||||||||||

IANAL and not particularly familiar with the particulars here, but very likely, the answer is "there is no legal recourse." As a private entity, chess.com is within its rights to admit or reject people for any reason it wants, except on the basis of certain protected classes (which cheating is not one of them). Furthermore, the terms of use for an account probably says something to the effect of "we have the right to ban you for whatever reason we feel like, and you have no real recourse." One could still attempt to sue, but the almost certain result is to flush tens of thousands of dollars in the toilet just to get thrown out on the motion to dismiss for lack of a case. | |||||||||||||||||
