However, you agreed that your account is forfeit if you cheat and nothing protects your account, so there are no grounds to complain.

So I can't complain because I clicked a button in order to play the game? Bullocks.

Exactly, if you eat a peanut and die of anaphylactic shock you can't complain because at the moment you opened the bag, it is assumed you read 'may contain peanuts' on the back. Sure, you can't exactly complain either way because you're dead, but it wouldn't go anywhere even if you could.

Nothing about my matter is accidental. The better analogy is still... being locked up for cannabis. Just because it's the rule doesn't make it right.

It isn't really that good of an analogy, you technically accepted the laws of a country in the moment you entered it, and those that apply to citizens when you gained your citizenship. That said, you might not have had a choice and you might not be able to leave easily (or at all), so if you disagree with the law you could have the moral grounds to dispute it.

However, and this is the misunderstood part - you aren't a citizen here, you are, at best, a tourist. You came to the country to visit, for your own entertainment, out of your own conscious choice, so you have to respect and follow the laws, whatever they may be and however dumb they may be. You may be allowed to say you don't like the laws, but have no grounds to dispute them and if you break them, you get deported home.
