Unable to Rematch

Sometimes I am unable to offer a rematch to my opponent (no button available, as if they left). This happens when I checkmate in a very low number of moves.
It's a feature to prevent your accounts to be marked as booster/sandbagger, which happens after too many such games.

(I'm not entity sure on the detection formula, it's there to protect the rating system from turning into random numbers).

This is probably more common in 960 bullet than regular chess...
The only way black could have avoided losing the pawn: 2...O-O-O!

Thought it was worth pointing out since a 3+0 game where Black was 2153 went 2. Nc5 d6?.
