Falsely Banned from Auction House for “Coin Distribution” – Need Help

Hi everyone,

I just got a notice that my Madden 26 account was permanently banned from the Auction House and Companion App for alleged “Coin distribution,” and all my Coins were removed.

I want to be clear — I have never bought, sold, or sent Coins through third parties. I only earn Coins through playing MUT and using the Auction House. Within the past week I’ve spent several hundred dollars buying MUT Points directly from the in-game store, and I can provide receipts or purchase history to prove it.

The only big transaction I made recently was buying the 97 OVR Brock Bowers card for 3 million Coins, which was a legitimate Auction House purchase for my team. I’ve already created a case with EA, but how long do those even take? In the meantime, this is honestly dumb and feels like I’m being robbed of both my time and the legitimate money I’ve put into the game. I’ve done nothing wrong.

Has anyone else gone through this? Is there a way to get EA to review cases faster?

Thanks,

  • Hey there. Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we're not able to directly help with banned accounts over the EA Forums. You'll need to submit a dispute so Terms of Service can perform an investigation. Instructions for that can be found int he article here. Thank you.

    Same thing happened to me. Waited 3 weeks for them to get back to me just to deny my appeal. Insane. EA bunch of criminals stealing from there players 

  • If your ban appeal is denied, you still have another option under Section 15 of the EA User Agreement:

    Send a certified letter requesting arbitration to:

    Electronic Arts Inc.
    ATTN: Legal Department
    209 Redwood Shores Parkway
    Redwood City, CA 94065
    USA

    In your letter:

    • Clearly state your request for arbitration and the reasoning behind it.
    • Include a statement that you cannot cover the costs of arbitration.

    According to EA’s Terms of Service, EA is responsible for arbitration costs (though you may still be responsible for certain additional fees).

  • I have been banned/restricted for no reason. I have bank statements showing ive spent hundreds and hundreds just in the last month in the ultimate team store. Im also ready to submit bank statements showing i haven't paid any 3rd party companies for coins but the ultimate team store.  I was selling my team off for season 3 to invest in new updated players and had spent 25 dollars on cards packs just last night.  EA took 4,93 million in coins that i was saving to have coin to spend not just for season  3 but to also keep me busy as I heal from my back surgery im having on 10/23/2025. I have been a loyal gaming customer to EA since 2012, I bring this up so people understand EA could care less about loyalty. I truly feel robbed. My entertainment investment was stolen from me by the same company that I thought could be trusted to make entertainment investments of hunƙdreds in. Please be careful what u spend with a company like this. EA will scam u when u least expect it. Just like the card we were suppose to get for watching there lol tournament. They needed views on twitch so EA lied to get them. Please beware felow gamers they will lead u to believe 1 thing then pull the rug from underneath u when u least expect it. 

  • Im not just sitting back and let them scam me especially since I did not wrong. I truly feel robbed.

    The advisers are paid by EA just like u.big waste of time. All u EA employees are part of the scam/robbery. I had 4,93 million in coin stolen from me last night by EA .if someone would've looked in to it just a little they would have seen ive spent well over 5 hundreds in the last 5 weeks to build that coin up. That's stealing..........my appeal is being ignored like everyone else's. EA took my coins back that I paid them for that's stealing............

    I just got banned from the auction house for coin distribution. I have never bought from no third party at all. It is christmas and i spent 150 dollars today on madden packs on bundles and everything for the zero chill. Couple of hours later got banned I sold off players i pulled. I pulled a LTD and sold him. I got playstation transactions  proof and everything. I need this look into For i can receive my coins and Auction unbanned

  • Same thing happened to me this year on madden 26. i spent a lot of money because it’s christmas time and then my auction house got permanently suspended and all of my coins are wiped. this is not the first time that ea has done this to me and quite frankly i am fed up. i’ve appealed it and they denied it so im reappealing and i am going to keep appealing because this is unbelievable. if someone is seeing this that can legitimately help, it would be very much appreciated.
