Are all types of SMM services allowed to be sold via panels?
When it comes to our platform and panels that we offer in partifular, we don’t allow admins to sell spam services of any kind.

Moreover, spam services are actually illegal in some countries, this is why selling them could result in serious legal problems for everyone involved. Avoiding such services altogether eliminates unnecessary risks.

What about social media platforms’ Terms of Service?
Though selling SMM services via panels is definitely not illegal, buying such services for your accounts is against the Terms of Service on various social media platforms. Which means that it isn’t much of a problem for SMM panel admins, but it might be a problem for their customers if they aren’t careful enough.

It is just how it is — Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and other similar websites don’t allow fake engagement and are anti-bot in general.

However, SMM panels offer a huge variety of SMM services, and their quality varies a lot. The cheapest services are low-quality bots. Those are most often used as occasional pranks and it’s not recommended to order such services for serious jobs. If you actually need to promote your brand/business, there are other SMM services that either look very realistic or are actually performed by real people. Sure, those SMM services are more expensive but they also give a much better guarantee that customers’ social media accounts won’t be affected due to violations of the Terms of Service.
