I understand you can't play a currently rooted device or you will get banned which makes sense.
What if my device was previously rooted? Can I play MCOC without fear of getting banned or should i go through the trouble of first doing a factory reset?

    Probably a factory rest for safety

    A new phone or a factory reset should do the safety trick

    Depends on the device. Samsung i believe has a counter on the number of times it has been rooted or not. I think its called Knox counter
    Also its anyones guess if they use that counter too.

    Erm...factory reset doesnt always guarantee to unroot your pbone. Depends on how the phone was rooted in the first place.
    Good luck!

    You can usually un-root without a factory reset.

    I don't think they give 3rd party apps access to that info.
    Also, if you rooted your phone with Magisk, you can hide the root status from apps
