[GUIDE] 7 Tips to Bot in OSRS with a Low Ban Rate in 2025 (What Actually Works)

Hey everyone,

I've been botting in OSRS for years, and I’ve seen methods come and go. But in 2025, Jagex has seriously stepped up their detection game. If you’re still using outdated scripts or doing 10-hour straight fishing sessions… you're gonna get clapped.

So here’s a fresh guide with 7 tips that ACTUALLY work right now to keep your accounts safer and reduce bans. These are based on my own testing and from what I’ve seen in the botting community.

✅ 1. Use AI-Powered Bots
Most of the free/old bots are way too obvious. AI-based bots (like BottingHub’s) simulate real players better — random delays, human-like movement, adaptive behavior. That’s what you want if you care about your account.
→ Forget pixel-perfect efficiency. Mimicking human error is key.

2. Always Use Proxies
NEVER run multiple accounts on the same IP.
Use residential or datacenter proxies (BottingHub proxies are a solid option) and rotate them. If one account gets banned, you don’t want others getting chain-flagged.

⏱️ 3. Breaks Are Not Optional
Nobody plays OSRS for 6 hours straight without taking a break. Your bots shouldn’t either.
Use break managers and keep it random. Better yet, mix in some idle time or even AFK in-game to confuse the system.

4. Don’t Bot the Same Thing Over and Over
If your bot spends 5 hours straight at Motherlode Mine every day, that’s a red flag. Switch things up — a little skilling, some combat, maybe a quest or two. Mimic how real players hop between tasks.

5. Watch Your Bots
Even good scripts can get stuck or do something weird. Monitor them when you can, especially with new scripts or updates. If it looks too bot-like, it probably is.

6. Ramp Up Slowly
New accounts or fresh installs? Don’t go full throttle.
Start small — 30 minutes here, an hour there. Gradually increase session time over days or weeks. Slow and steady survives the long game.

7. Stay in the Loop
Check forums, Discords, Reddit (like r/RunescapeBotting). People post warnings when certain scripts get detected or if a new ban wave is going around. Stay informed so you’re not caught off guard.

Final thoughts:
Botting in 2025 isn’t dead — it just requires a smarter approach. If you follow these tips, you’ll drastically lower your risk and get better long-term results.

Happy botting, and stay safe.
