Banned After Account Was Hacked ,Appeals Ignored Despite Proof

Hi EA Team and Community,

 

I’m reaching out here because I’ve exhausted all other support options and I truly need help.

 

My Apex Legends account was hacked, and after working with EA support, I recovered it successfully. However, just two days later (on April 1st, 2025), my account was banned for violating Terms of Service , a violation I did not commit.

 

I submitted multiple appeals explaining the situation and even provided proof of the account recovery. Unfortunately, all of my appeals were declined, with no clear explanation or proper review of the timeline.

 

It seems very likely that the hacker did something while they had control, and I’m now being punished for that. I never cheated, never exploited, and I’ve been a fair and loyal player for years.

 

I’m kindly asking for this case to be escalated or properly reviewed by someone in the Terms of Service team who can actually look at the context and timeline of events. I don’t want special treatment, just a fair look at what happened.

 

Any help or advice from the community or staff would be truly appreciated. I just want my account 

  • Hello. I'm sorry to say, we're not able to directly help with bans over the EA Forums. If you have disputed the ban 3 times and it still hasn't been lifted, it will need to remain in place.

    Hey sonjtzu​,

    The team may use templated replies to make sure they're providing consistent information to people in similar situations, but they are not AI responses, nor are they automated. 

    An actual member of the ToS team reviews the situation and our records for what took place, and a different member of the team will review each subsequent appeal to make sure multiple people have gone through the information if multiple appeals are needed.

    This is not something we're able to assist with on the forums, so I'll be locking the thread here.

    Spamming disputes will not help. I would actually advise against that.
