Unlink Steam Account from Banned EA Account

I created this account one year ago when someone told me about EA Racenet. I only play the Dirt Rally series from Codemasters and created this account in anticipation of the future game WRC. I have never played under this account, so I was extremely surprised when, one week ago, I received a message after logging in stating: "Your account has been disabled." I did not receive any information explaining why my account was banned, as indicated on the "Get information about your account lock, ban, or suspension" page.

> We’ll ban players who break our User Agreement. If you’ve got a lock, ban, or suspension on your EA Account, for a specific game, or for your device, we’ll let you know you via email.

Yes, I checked my spam folder. As you can see for yourselves, there are numerous similar issues of account bans without reasons that can be found through a simple Google search. I have attempted to dispute this issue in My Ban History multiple times (Case: 154252022, 154283019, 154337256, 154489488, 154515661, 154515884), kindly asking for the reason and how to unlink the linked Steam Account. However, I have consistently received templated responses.

We received your latest message regarding the action taken on your account. We have performed all investigations possible on this issue and will not reverse the decision.

Please do not expect further responses on this matter

On the "myaccount.ea.com" page, I do not see an option labeled "Connection" with Connected Accounts. Therefore, my question is: How can I remove the link between my Steam account and EA? I do not wish to create a new Steam account because all of my games are associated with this one and also pre-order for new WRC.

  • Hey @LiquiTec,

    Unfortunately it's not possible to unlink a platform from a banned EA account. In order to unlink your Steam, the ban would first need to be lifted. I can only direct you to our terms of service team so you can raise a dispute, but it sounds like they've already performed all of their investigations and won't be lifting the ban. As such, I'm afraid there won't be a way for you to unlink your Steam.

    The ban is probably a mistake (as there were absolutely no actions from this account before the ban), and there is no way to unban. Is your role only to reply to the forum? Do you have the possibility to perform any other actions or review the cases that I included? Is there no way from your position to suggest changes in this non-working corporate system?

    Hey there! It's been a while since anyone posted on this thread, so I'm going to lock it to avoid necroposting.

    For future readers, @EA_QueenBee is correct. 🙂 If you think there's been a mix-up, our Terms of Service team is always happy to help you out with legitimate cases. They can look into a ban or suspension and get things sorted for you if it was mistakenly applied. Please check out our EA Help guide for more information on how to get assistance with a ban or suspension.

    Thanks,
