Do you get banned for modding GTA 5?

Yes, modded accounts in GTA Online almost always get banned, especially if they involve large amounts of modded money, high ranks, or duplicated items, as Rockstar actively conducts ban waves targeting these exploits, leading to temporary or permanent suspensions and potentially IP bans that affect all your accounts. Buying or using modded accounts violates Rockstar's Terms of Service, and while some users report temporary luck, the risk of a ban is very high and often includes a full character reset.

How much money can you spend in GTA 5 without getting banned?

You generally won't get banned for spending legitimate or even large amounts of money in GTA Online, as bans focus on acquiring modded cash or exploiting income systems; there's no set "spending limit," but be cautious with extremely rapid purchases (like selling many cars hourly) or suspiciously large, sudden transactions, as these might flag anti-cheat systems, even if you earned it through normal play. Rockstar's system is designed to detect modded income, not normal spending.
