Overview Find out why we issue bans or suspensions and how to submit an appeal if you think there’s been a mistake. Understanding locks, bans, and suspensions Lock: We’ll temporarily remove access to a game or your EA Account when we notice too many failed login attempts or other suspicious activity. We do this to protect your account from being accessed by anyone other than you. Learn more about what you can do if you’ve been locked out of your account. Suspension: We’ll temporarily remove your access to a game, part of a game, or your EA Account when we notice activity on your EA Account that goes against our EA User Agreement or Rules of Conduct. Suspensions expire after a certain period of time. Ban: Depending on the severity of the ban, we’ll remove your access to a game, part of a game, or your EA Account for an extended period of time, or permanently.

We’ll also take action against any account that posts vulgar, threatening, or harassing content in any EA game or on any EA website. Cheating includes but isn’t limited to: using third-party software, such as aimbots, wallhacks, and other similar cheats to gain an unfair advantage over other players performing in-game exploits or abusing glitches or bugs stat padding (abusing game features in an unintended manner to artificially stack on scores) win-trading or otherwise manipulating in-game ranking systems with the collaboration of others using software or cheat tools that disconnect other players from the EA servers. Keep in mind: If you submit a chargeback for a refund outside of our refund policy, we may take one of the following actions: Lock your EA Account Remove the content charged back.
