Unbanned After “Gameplay Enhancement” Ban (No Explanation)
Hello,
I wanted to share an update on my ban in case it helps others in similar situation. My account has been unbanned and there is no longer a penalty on it. I did not recieve any notification, I found out when I checked my penalty history today.
My Apex account was permanently banned on 20th Feb 2026 with the reason "Gameplay Enhancement."
I submitted multiple appeals, all of them were denied with the standard response that the sanction was correctly applied. After first couple appeals I made a post here in the forums get some answers, rant, and find similar cases and there are a lot of them indeed.
My first post: Account-banned-for-competitive-advantage
My rant: Actual-reason-for-gameplay-enhancement-ban-wave
My last post: 10th-appeal-denied--dissappointed
After my 10th appeal, I had no option left to contact TOS team, I did submit multiple forms but I got no response.
I still don't know what caused the ban. However here are some points to consider before you lose all hope.
- All Appeals being denied does not always mean the case is final (so don't be dissappointed)
- Some bans may be reviewed later or reversed without communication (if you didn't cheat)
If you are in a similar situation, please document your case. Download your Apex account data from EA's website. In your appeals ask for the actual detailed reason for the ban - if you still get your appeal denied then don't spam, allow the team to look into the issue.
NOTE: DO NOT GET A REFUND ON YOUR PURCHASES IT WILL VIOLATE TOS AND YOUR ACCOUNT IS COOKED
Also, before I got unbanned, someone I know on reddit also got their ban removed without any notification as well and earlier multiple streamers got their bans revoked for the same gameplay enhancement ban. I hope TOS shares an update on this matter asap as so many people are dealing with the same situation.
** I didn't not get in touch with any EA dev or anyone internally. I just didn't care after a while but I am definitely happy now. Check my sick stats yoo, definitely ban worthy
Thank you for reading!
