Google banning OpenClaw users

TL;DR

  • 🚫 Google is mass-banning accounts using personal Gemini + OpenClaw
  • ⚠️ Unofficial API wrappers violate Terms of Service
  • CatsAndClaws uses official APIs—no bans, no keys, pay as you go

If you got a "Gemini has been disabled" email, you're not alone. Google is mass-banning accounts that connect personal Gemini/AI Ultra to OpenClaw via unofficial OAuth. OpenClaw's docs warn about this. Google treats it as API abuse and ToS violation (Section 4.3).

What banned users see

Gemini has been disabled in this account for violation of Terms of Service

Evidence from the community
