EA wrongful ban wave to non cheaters

Hey everyone,

Apologies as English is not my first language.

I’m making this post to see how many other ordinary, casual players got caught up in a false-positive ban wave. My account was permanently banned on 20th of May for "Gameplay Enhancement," and despite submitting multiple appeals, I am stuck in an endless loop of receiving the exact same automated bot responses denying my claim.

To be completely transparent, here is my situation:

  • My Setup: 100% clean, vanilla PC environment. No background macro software, no third-party overlay tools, and absolutely no cheats.
  • My Stats: I am a completely average player. My lifetime peak rank is Platinum 3. I play purely on *bleep* skill, and my performance logs easily back this up—I am simply not good enough at this game to warrant a "gameplay enhancement" flag.
  • Account Value: I have spent my own real money on this account to unlock characters and cosmetics. No logical player would risk their financial investment and an account they care about just to exploit a game. 4000 Hours were also spent on this game.

It seems there is a massive double standard happening. We constantly see big streamers and popular content creators get their false bans reviewed and overturned, while everyday players like us are left completely ignored, getting banned "blindly" by a glitched automated system.

Are there any ways for the EA team to check and get back on this matter

  • My account on apex has just been banned. A couple days ago I tried linking my steam account to my Xbox account because it had some money put into it. After linking it I tried to play and found out my account was perma banned now. So I guess my Xbox account had been banned for three years without me knowing. Than I sent two appeals(ongoing third) and they denied me. I told them that I have had my PC for many years and I have about 90 hours so far on steam that is completely clean. Than I told them that I dont even think I owned an Xbox or Playstation three years ago due to my PC being built. So it gave me two options of why I got banned. One someone hacked my account and played on it and cheated or two they simply made a mistake. I want to talk to an actual employee but I dont know how. It feels like with these appeals they are just AI generated. This is a completely false ban and I want someone to actually look at this because I know I didn't cheat. I have played apex for many years and was clean during all of it. I just want to be able to play the game again.

  • I'm in the same situation as you. I'm already tired of trying to recover my account. I was banned on May 22nd for no reason.
    Account level 150 plus invested money. It's a problem of theirs. I don't think it will be solved in the future, but until then there's nothing I can do except make a new account if I want to play apex again. :(

    Hey SSGHampton​,

    I moved your thread over from the FC board to the Apex Legends board, as it looks like you posted in the wrong place. 

    Please refer to the pinned message above. If you want to dispute the ban again, reach out to the relevant teams.
