How to check if a player is banned in a script

Do these strings just determine things by using just strings? You’ll have to use a player’s id or database inside the script

I was thinking like a graveyard for my friends, I can easily get their id’s off of the website because they aren’t currently banned.

that’s the example I copied from the API docs

I actually discovered a weird way to find if player is banned using MarketplaceService

local Marketplace = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local function PlayerBanned(UserId)
	local success, data = pcall(function ()
		return Marketplace:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(UserId,12345) --Any random Gamepass ID
	end)
	
	print(data)
	--Prints "The specified user does not exist!" if banned
	--Prints "false" if player exist (or "ture" if player owns it)
	if not success and data ~= true then
		return true
	end
	return false
end

print(PlayerBanned(1)) --Roblox => false
print("-----------")
print(PlayerBanned(27)) --rich(banned) => true
print("-----------")
print(PlayerBanned(8166491)) --1x1x1x1(banned) => true

Note: It’s not totally reliable
