    Afaik you can appeal you ban a number of times. 

    The EA staff who work on AHQ cannot help directly with account-related issues, such as bans or having been hacked.

    If you feel you have been incorrectly banned, the only thing you can do is to dispute any action taken against your EA account by following the steps in this article:

    If you feel you have been hacked, the only thing you can do is follow the steps in this article:

    If you get your account back, it might be as good idea to turn on 2 factor authentication on your account.

    Hi @SUPERMANBA69

    Thanks for reaching out to us on Answers HQ, but you're through to the forum team on here. It's as @OldTreeCreeper shared, we won't know why you're EA account might be banned, sorry. You're looking for the Terms of Service team, they would exclusively help and discuss ban cases. If you believe there's been some sort of mix-up with the application of a ban, they can be reached by filling out the webform (that sends in an appeal to them).

    If you're in anyway concerned someone's hacked your account, I would still strongly encourage you to go through resetting these security steps too. There may be some steps there that can't be completed while the ban is in place but that's ok, the ban itself will limit any activity on the EA account itself so nothing further can take place on the account while the ban is in place. 

    Please also make sure to take advantage of the security settings available for any of the connected accounts linked up to the EA account as well to ensure they are also secure. Examples of connected accounts include the email address registered, accounts such as SteamAmazon and Twitch, Console accounts (PlayStationXboxNintendo Switch, etc),mobile accounts (Apple IDGoogle Play) and Social Media accounts (Facebook). 

    Thank you,
