EA banned me for "cheating," cites "privacy" to hide evidence from MY account.
Got permanently banned for "cheating." Lifetime 0.6 K/D, 4% win rate. I'm terrible at this game. I contacted EA Support and asked for the specific match ID or evidence. Their response: "We cannot disclose investigation details, reviewer IDs, or tools used." They also admitted that support agents have NO authority to overturn bans or provide internal reports. So basically: they banned me, won't tell me why, and won't let anyone review it. Is this really how EA treats players?Solved39Views0likes2Comments
Why I get banned and why there is no way to contact to a real persom?
First and the most important thing, I do not and I never cheat. And the thing turns really strange since there is no penalty-history in my account so I really don't know what is going on. I can't play Apex anymore? During the period when the ban was in effect, I did not use the account myself. At the time, someone who have my steam account and till now I dont know who he is( I shared it with my family and friends), who logged in and played the game on his own computer. He only played the game normally and did not intentionally use cheats, scripts, or other prohibited tools. I was not present at the time, so I do not know exactly what happened, nor do I understand why the account was banned. I live in NJ and he live in Wisconsin, there is no way one same person can teleport between these to states and play apex on different computer in one mint. I respectfully request that your team re-examine the account’s login history, device information, match data, and the basis for the penalty, and inform me of the specific timing and reason for the ban. If a manual review confirms that this was a false positive or triggered by unintentional factors such as an abnormal device environment, I hope your team will consider lifting the ban. I am willing to provide any necessary account information or other evidence, and I will immediately change my password and enable two-factor authentication. I will not allow anyone else to use this account in the future. Attached is a screenshot of the suspension notice I saw when logging into the game. Thank you for taking the time to review my appeal, and I look forward to your response.Solved50Views0likes5CommentsBugged Ban Appeal Interface / False Positive Software Flag
I am writing here because the official EA Help appeal portal is failing to generate confirmation emails or process my support tickets, leaving me with no way to contact the ToS team.I have a 10-year-old EA account linked to my Steam profile. Immediately following the latest game update, I played exactly four normal casual Trios games with a friend before my account was hit with a permanent "Gameplay Enhancement" ban.I do not use hardware scripts, strike packs, or cheat software. Upon auditing my PC directories, I discovered a forgotten, completely inactive installation of AutoHotkey (AHK) that I used years ago for Roblox. It does not launch on Windows startup and was not running or interacting with Apex Legends, but it appears the latest game client patch scanned the directory and triggered a false-positive automated ban.I have since completely purged and deleted all AHK files from my hard drive. Because the EA Help ticket portal is glitched and refusing to generate an appeal case for me, could a Community Manager please look into my account status and manually escalate this software conflict case directly to a human agent on the Terms of Service team?Thank you for your time.Solvedpjrock23 days agoNewcomer17Views0likes1CommentBanned
My Ea account was previously hacked on 10th July and Even my email address was changed as well. I recover my account on 20th July and change password and changed email and recovered my account. But the I show I was banned on Apex Legends due to gameplay enhancement. I appealed my case and it's been two weeks and getting no responses. My case number is #250987625 [CM edit - removed attachment including email address for account security]Solved42Views0likes1Commenti want play apex
I am writing this sincere letter to formally appeal the ban applied to my Apex account, hoping you can conduct a thorough re-review of my account. I have purchased and experienced almost all the Apex series. I have never used any cheating software. Unexpectedly, my account was suddenly banned when I played Apex during my winter vacatio. The system marked my violation as COMPETITIVE_ADVANTAGE, but I solemnly declare my absolute innocence. My lifetime KD is just 0.5, a completely ordinary stat for regular players. Apex was a birthday present from my classmate. As a boarding school student with heavy coursework and strict rules, I only play this game after dormitory checks. It is my only leisure and holds many precious memories. I had originally planned to purchase the apex pass, but facing such an unfair punishment, I couldn't be in the mood. I believe that this ban is a system misjudgment. I earnestly beg your TOS team to recheck my account.Solvedshroudmw7 days agoNewcomer31Views0likes2Comments
Perma Ban / hacked account
Dude this is really pissing me off because i’ve made appeals since june 9th the day my account got hacked and ive gotten nothing back from them. This really frustrates me because I clearly play on PS5 or playstation in that matter, i’ve never put my account on any pc what so ever and the ban was from “Console : PC” and everything that I have ever done or played on was PS. So i’ve tried multiple times to contact the EA Advisors and have never been able to get in touch with TOS ever. All the links they have tried to send to me don’t work. My account was banned for Gameplay enhancement which absolutely bewildered me because don’t even know how to get hacks on a ps5 without a pc. EVEN THEN i wouldn’t even know. I’ve spent way too much money into this game to get permanently banned , no help , and absolutely no guidance on to help get my account back. You can’t even call the HQ which i had a feeling that wouldn’t work any way but i tried. You have to give an employees number and i was like “ im screwed. “ i wish i could say EA and the TOS was able to help me get my account back but im disappointed to say, ive still have gotten not one single bit of help. So someone tell me what i need to do to get this through to the tos team.SolvedN1tr0us__8437 days agoSeasoned Newcomer32Views0likes2CommentsApex Twin razer melee event
I don’t know how this thing works, but I had 29 out of 35 items needed for this event and now it’s over with the season 30 coming out today.

Dear EA Support Team, I am appealing the ban on my Apex Legends account . My account was penalized for abnormal activity on [2026.7.26], and I firmly state that I have never used cheats, hacking tools, mods or any third-party prohibited software. Detailed incident timeline and evidence are listed as below: 1. On July 26, 2026, my EA account was accessed repeatedly by unknown IP addresses located in Hong Kong, which is not my regular login region and not operated by me. 2. A malicious account configuration change (accountChangeLog) was executed on July 26, 08:42 UTC without my authorization. The attacker modified account permission parameters, set an invalid long-term expiration date, and left no modification reason, proving my account was hijacked. 3. The abnormal gameplay behavior that triggered the anti-cheat ban was conducted by the hacker who stole my account, not myself. I only log in on my personal fixed PC occasionally, and I have only played the game in domestic internet cafes for legitimate entertainment. I never shared, rented or sold my account to any third party. I have attached the full login IP logs and account change logs as proof of account theft. I fully comply with EA Terms of Service and Apex Legends game rules. If my account gets unbanned, I will immediately reset my account password, enable EA two-factor authentication, block overseas unfamiliar IP segments and strengthen account security to avoid similar incidents again. Please re-review my penalty records, separate my legitimate operations from the hacker’s violation behavior, and lift the ban on my account. Thank you for your time and help.

Hello, so recently I was falsely banned. ( 20/ 06/ 2026) I submitted an appeal as any would to try have this removed. ( 27/ 06/ 2026) my case since then has been closed and the EA TOS team said they were not acting on it as of yet. But I can no longer resubmit an appeal to try again as when I go to my penalty history it all says pending review. If any staff is on here that could help with this issue that would be gratefully appreciated.SolvedSilly-Vilardson14 days agoSeasoned Newcomer75Views0likes5Comments2 players sexually threatened me, and no action has been taken
So last night I was playing Apex and I unfortunately got matched up with 2 guys who on voice-chat were calling me a **bleep** and told me multiple times they were gonna **bleep** me. This all because I typed "are we gonna do something" because they were standing around for multiple minutes. I reported these two players and this morning I got an email from EA saying that no action has been taken.. Edit: The word got censored here but it's the R word when it comes to sexual assault.SolvedMagicalGirl9515 days agoSeasoned Newcomer108Views3likes5CommentsPlease unban me
Hey there it’s been a while. I was a bit toxic at the time of playing this game and I had put in many hours and many dollars into this game. Unfortunately I had been toxic to my teammates and said things I regret. It lead to me getting banned. I am now a reformed man and wanted to see if there’s any chance I could this 1 time get my ban lifted I do not plan to be anything but a desirable teammate I just don’t want all my time and money spent to be for nothing. I’ve never cheated or gone out of my way to make the game an unfun experience for my teammates or people I’m playing against. All I ask for is just 1 simple unban and I will not be a bad sport. sincerely, CaydenSolved35Views0likes1Comment
Apex ban got overturned, but the game is still locked
I appealed the Apex game ban I received on July 12, 2026, on help.ea.com. The case ( Case #250605972) shows it has been overturned, and my ban history can no longer be found, but when I log into Apex, it still shows my account is locked. I seriously suspect that the anti-cheat database didn't sync with the TOS when lifting the ban.SolvedLulu901619 days agoSeasoned Newcomer122Views0likes5CommentsYour account is locked

Stream on Linux
Hi everyone, I have a question about remote game streaming. Is it allowed to use Sunshine and Moonlight to stream Apex Legends from my Windows PC to a Linux device on my local network? I want to make sure this complies with the anti cheat policies before I try it. Has anyone else used this setup successfully? Also, are there any updates on native Apex Legends support for Linux? And why is the game still blocked on Linux in the first place? Thanks for any clarification!SolvedTryzmyyy22 days agoNew Novice51Views0likes4Comments
