How do you report websites that offer boosts for real world cash? I’ve come across a few lately and I don’t know how to report them or even if you can.

Why do you want to report them? Because you’re upset that you can’t afford a boost from there, or?

And no I want to report them because I don’t agree with it and because it’s against blizzards tos.

Good on you. Genuinely. Can’t stand people who think rules don’t apply to them.

Blizzard is offering the boost as a game service using assets that they own, it’s not the same thing.
The external sites offering boosts for real currencies are using Blizzards assets without a licence or permission to make real money. Blizzard are just too relaxed on this and need to do more to shut these people down.
Imagine he means boosting as in raid / mythic + / pvp boosting not just levelling boosting etc.
Most people should get the context given up often it is spoken about.
Based on his timing i guess it’s about classic gold / boosts, there has been some pretty shady stories lately about future real money services on classic…
As long as you have games with valuables and resources and ratings you will always have gold farmers and boosters and the like, making money in the dark.
While i dont mind boosting and stuff like that, these websites are selling runs for real money, which is against the ToS and thus very much reportable

They are being sold on eBay too.
There is little Blizzard can do about a site selling boosts. It is not illegal to have such a site. They can’t close them down. They can only take action against those using them, if they can catch them.
mecha-done achievement for 400 euros. i wonder how this works, are they taking the account until its done. i mean this could take months with some luck…
Exactly, reporting such sites doesn’t do anything. Pretty sure blizzard is well aware of most popular ones, yet they can’t do a thing because it’s perfectly legal.
ToS is not a law, they can ban you because it’s their service but they can’t do anything about site itself.

Why would anybody care about boosting sites other than the boosters and those who pay?
Leave them to it - Blizz ban them in waves not as-hoc
I don’t agree with it but I don’t waste emotion on it - they do not have any impact upon me
They will always be there- most of them are children farming tokens - ignore it
They have been reported over 100 million times to Blizzard, who do not do anything about pay for money sites. The best scams ive seen lately are the send me £50 to get your classic accounts unbanned, sometimes they get the account back, majority of times the person they send money to just ignores them. Those pay sites continue to take money from the desperate 
They will just open a stream and will do donaters run for free then
