DON'T buy Coins even if these are being endorsed by large content creators
Case reference #236412133
Please bare in mind when reading this I have no friends on this game and don't communicate with any community members (until this message)** I am a bit of a loner when it comes to games in general, as they are my escape and I tend not to meet anyone on FIFA that I chat to or join an discords etc.
I just want to put this message in here so people who might be as naive as me don't get in trouble, one of the biggest things we overlook is "I've read and accept the terms and conditions" and just click the button to get into the game. I didn't, and after getting back into FIFA this Christmas after years (my last played FIFA games would have been FIFA 20,21,22 all the way back as far as 15) and investing thousands of euros into these games through legitimate channels by buying fut points, I was unfortunately and rightfully banned from transfering in fut 26 after going back to watching some content creators only to find them drilling coin purchasing sponsors at the start and throughout every video I watched. Silly enough, I thought this was legit and endorsed by EA as all of their largest content creators are somehow allowed endorse this (which I find strange that they don't get sanctioned for!) and went to one of these sites out of pure naivety. I can't blame the content creators though because these are just illegatimate sponsors they get.
I'm writing this to make everyone aware that just because a content creator says it's okay doesn't mean it doesn't breach TOS. Please do not risk your accounts by going to any of these sites. I have appealed this hoping that EA might see my past legitimately played and grinded FIFA games. If not, well it's totally understandable. Im writing this message as more of a head up for the rest of the community. Call me naive, silly or anything you want - I made a mistake here, don't make the same mistake I did gamers. My account is now pretty much dead from this after buying tonnes of FUT points over the Christmas and holidays with the excitement of getting back into a FIFA game, I brought the financial waste onto myself, don't bring it onto yourselves.
If a community manager happens to see this I'm not looking for any pity, if this could be passed onto the TOS team with some positive endorsement to help my case that would be great but if not, I appreciate the position of EA here.
Stay safe and game safe gamers.
