Aaditya “Dynamo” Sawant, one of India’s most subscriber gaming YouTubers, revealed that his Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) account had been banned in a recent livestream. Dynamo explained to his viewers that during his vacation to Russia, he had tried to log in to BGMI from the country and was ultimately banned from the game after multiple tries. Currently, Battlegrounds Mobile India is only meant to be played from within India and if players try to access it from outside the country, they will be greeted with a message which reads: 'error code: restrict-area'.

Dynamo’s BGMI account gets banned after trying to log in from Russia

In his first stream after his vacation, Dynamo announced that his BGMI account had gotten banned. He explained that after arriving in Russia for his vacation, he thought of playing BGMI and launched the game. He continues to say that after multiple attempts to log in to the game, he was stuck on the loading screen.

Dynamo then shrugged it off saying that it wouldn’t be a problem. The streamer stated, “I’ve taken all the steps necessary so it should get unbanned soon, even if it doesn’t, that’s okay, it’s not a big deal, it will eventually be unbanned. This isn’t the first time I’ve been banned."

*Translated from Hindi

Battlegrounds Mobile India was released in India following the ban of its predecessor, PUBG Mobile due to security concerns. After a period of outcry from fans, in July 2021, Krafton released BGMI which is the same as PUBG Mobile but is exclusive to India. Upon launching the game for the first time, players will receive a pop-up stating that BGMI is for players in India only, and it asks players to confirm whether they are playing from India. This might have been the reason why Dynamo’s account was banned after he attempted to log in to the game from a different country.

Dynamo is one of the biggest gaming content creators in India with almost 10 Million subscribers on YouTube. He rose to popularity alongside PUBG Mobile’s incredible growth in the country and has transitioned to BGMI following its release.
