Is this the first time you created an account for Apex? I am dealing with the same issue but to no avail. I'd suggest not appealing more than 8 times it a lot of player report their appeal section disappears after 10th appeal. It is not you alone who is going through this, forum is full of people like you and me.
Can you provide more info.. like did you get a ban notification on your email or did you figure out after opening the game? How old is your account? Did you have any prior bans before this?
It is a day time robbery at this point - no one is going to put money into their account if they are going to cheat. NO CHEAT PUTS MONEY IN A FREE TO PLAY GAME APEX TEEEEAM LIKE WTH ARE YOU GUYS ON.
Sorry for the rant, I got the ban on Febuary 20th so I am kind of emotional at this point. Please do share the info.
Note to community members: Please do not stop replies on this post. The situation is already pretty bad, that'll make it even worse.
SadPotatoX This is my one and only Apex Legends account, Never created one before "this one is created on 2020".
I did a 3rd appeal after the 2nd bot auto repsonse that I'm almost sure will result in the same response 'it's a final ban'.
I got no email for the ban at all which was the weirdest thing to me, that entire day was way too weird on steam that I could do a whole post on, I was in a bots lobby when the ban happened, I got kicked and message saying "you are banned" which happened the exact second my Kraber landed on a bot "which is more weirder but I didn't mention it in the post to avoid non essential details.
I only knew of the ban after searching a lot and finding the penalties page, other than that the literaly told me nothing. as I said my account was create 2020 in apex but steam account is from 2010 i think, no bans before, i didn't play the game from 2021 to 2025, 5 months ago
I hope your issue gets resolved, I'm not hopeful though so I'm moving on after posting this to almost all socials so people can be careful of this company. I feel your anger to rant I could spend hours ranting about how many cheaters I faced in ranked putting full clip into my head with no recoil and non of which got banned but me doing 0.7 kd enjoying my time off work will be banned live with no way of return after doing nothing, yup makes sense
I trust everything you said. I have exactly 1-1 same issue and many others. I started in 2025 after a long time but my account is from 2018. Just like you I paid for the prestige skin for Watton and had also purchased the battle pass a week ago before the ban cause I had coins remaning. I still have coins in my account.
This is really bold from EA to not deal with the situation already. They unbanned streamers who had more reach. I am also thinking about letting it go but I just put alot of money into it and can't just let them take it away. IT IS STEALING. Just like you I have been only playing after work and I left my job on Jan 15th, bought a new mouse that was delivered on Jan 16th cause I thought I can finally spend more time in the game and they banned me on 20th of Feb.
I am thinking about getting Arc Raiders and also make a youtube video about this whole situation. I don't have alot of reach on social media but I've also made alot of posts on X and reached out to multiple people I used to watch on Youtube for Apex. I think the accounts are gone. Who ever planned this whole anti cheat update should appologise publicly. It is not properly planned, or implemented and or tested for bugs and yes TOS team is probably smoking something out of this world. I understand that big updates like this are tricky and teams sometimes get overrun but this doesn't mean they'll simply ignore the appeals. I wrote every possible thing I could same message.
X.com >>> @notakitrustme - I'd love to do my part in your quest ja.
