Who banned you? If playing on Xbox have you purchased the gold membership

Maybe you are too young to play poker YaBoIShawnDon. What is your age?

Once. on Xbox live, I swore at someone and they reported me. I was banned from playing games using Xbox live for 48 hours. Its still on my record.  
Is there a possibility that someone reported you on another venue for something you said?

Same thing happened to my wife. I’ve been playing for several years and now she is interested in learning poker so she just started to play on the solo table not even against real people and now she is getting "your account has been locked… for 12 months! She’s sad because she loved playing but can’t anymore. She doesn’t interact with anyone and she’s 50 so I don’t understand why… When I log in it works without any issues so the problem is specific to her account. Please confirm why this is happening?

I found on Jagex support: We are aware of an issue affecting some players who may experience false bans after completing the tutorial. A temporary fix has been applied, but we recommend avoiding the tutorial for now.

If you believe you have been falsely banned, please submit a ticket for investigation here: [Prominence Poker Support](https://prominencepoker.help.jagex.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new).
