outliers

Statistical Outliers

Profiles that sit oddly on the ladder: young accounts at a high rating, high ratings on few duels, extreme average scores, near-perfect win rates.

⚠️ This is NOT a cheater list and should not be read as one. All it shows is what we measured — an account that is new and highly rated is an unusual account, not a cheating one. We chose these thresholds, not GeoGuessr. Real sanctions (bans, suspensions, chat bans) are GeoGuessr's own verdicts and live on the /banned page.

young account, high rating

high rating, few duels

Rated 1200+ on fewer than 200 duels. The smallest group, because rating normally accrues with volume.

Thresholds were chosen off the distribution: small enough that each group stays readable, wide enough that it clears the baseline by a real margin. A signal running at a multiple of the baseline says something about the group as a whole — it says nothing about any individual in it. The data comes from daily crawls, and an account's standing may have changed since it was read.
