Can i play Bf5 again with a new account after being banned?

So there's my story. i used to play bf5 a lot with my platoon. then i lend my pc to my brother, love to cheat in a lot of games. while i was at nightshift working. he cheated my bf5 account and shot me banned. i know bf5 has a strict policy about cheaters. gladly i was only lv70. but still. my brother will buy me the game again. but will i be able to play bf5 normally again. with a new account, and a fresh copy? i was told in some ea games there is a thing called HWID ban, that you got banned forever. so id like to ask if i can play it again. without being automatically banned?thank you so much!

  • @RedlineFN2 It might be worth contacting EA Help with this question, as I don't think it's something we can help with here (could be wrong).

    If you wanted to contact them you can open a case at help.ea.com/contact-us. You could also email [edit: email address removed] if I remember correctly.
  • i have already tried to contact the help, also a friend of mine with a similar issue, tried to get a more clearly answer, but after 30 days they still didnt answer him, and me too, so i am here for that. just to know if i can actually play the game again, with a fresh copy and a fresh account, without worring to be banned again for Hardware ID ban. or not.

    Hardware bans can happen but I don't think they are all that common in the Battlefield franchise.

    I'd advise you to contact the ToS team and find how exactly what your ban entales -- that all said, if it is just a regular account bqn, you will be able to play the game again on a different account

  • thank you, i sent them a request, i rlly hope they answer me fast. since it's just a question, not an investigation
