Games can be a place of passion and competition, which can cause heightened emotions and the desire to win no matter what. We understand that, but please be aware that there are some things that we can’t let slide, as they are against the game rules and will ruin the gaming experience for everyone.
Non-compliance can lead to bans for your EA account and in the game.
Check out the highlighted rules below! To get a full overview of our rules, please read our Positive Play Charter. For specific games, check out our quick guides to Apex Legends, FC, and FC Mobile rules.

No-Go Behavior
Always be respectful towards your fellow players! Rule of thumb – don’t say or do anything that you wouldn’t want directed at yourself.
Here are a few important specific points you should remember:
- Don’t discriminate. Hate speech of any kind be it against race, gender, sexuality, or any other discerning factor, is immediate grounds for a sanction .
- Don’t harass others. Treat everyone in the game with respect. Harassing others, degrading, goading, provoking, or simply being rude to them will have consequences. This includes hounding, personal attacks, hostile raids, and false reports.
- Don’t post offensive content. This includes offensive language and concerns all content that is inappropriate for the specific game maturity level, community or individual.
- Don’t promote violence. Don’t share or engage with content that features extreme violence, gore, or other obscenities.
Cheating
There are many ways to cheat, which are easily discovered by the AntiCheat and Reporting functions of the game. For your sake and that of others, play the game fairly.
Important rules are:
- Don’t abuse glitches or bugs. Performing in-game exploits and abusing glitches or bugs.
- Don’t use cheating software. This includes aimbots, wallhacks, autobuyers, and so on.
- Don’t use software to disconnect other players. Cheat tools that throw other players from the EA servers will get you thrown out of the game permanently.
- Don’t team up with cheaters. If you know that a player is using cheats, don’t team up to reap benefits. Guilt by association!
