    @DDT_Plays Wow, this is so ridiculous I don't even know what to say.
    the thing is, I can not understand how your friend had the will to spend more money on the game after what happened.
    if the cause of the ban truly was only for receiving a gift then your friend deserves an official apology and compensation.

Did your friend use a VPN to get around regional restrictions in some way? Did you?

Otherwise, according to this article (https://help.ea.com/en/help/apex-legends/apex-legends/apex-legends-gifting/), you shouldn't have been physically able to send the gift in the first place.

His account should have shown up as ineligible for gifting in the first place.

"My friend shows as ineligible

Your friend may show as ineligible if:

  • you haven’t been in-game friends with them for at least two weeks - platform friendships don’t count,
  • your friend’s account isn’t in good standing,
  • there are regional requirements that prevent you from sending the gift to your friend."

If this didn't happen, you can probably reach out to support yourself and ask for your money back.
