How long do EA bans last? Asking for a friend. [ Edited ]

[55412765]

About three months back I was in my worst state of mind possible playing Apex Legends like it was the last thing to do on Earth to the point I've dropped out since Covid -19 happened also until the point I was in the 1.5 percent range on my path, now top 8 percent in the world (on Xbox) but it isn't about that I just want to know how long do EA bans last because I do realize I've changed a lot for the best since I've last played competitively and I was wondering because I'm coming home from Christmas break from boarding school.

Hi @55412765, 

Suspensions can vary depending on the account history and the activity that led to the action being taken. 

In many cases a suspension will last a week while a ban is permanent, but you should also receive an email with more information regarding any action taken on your account. Could you check out your email inbox (spam and junk folders too just incase) for an email from the address 'noreply@ea.com' 

If you're not finding that email feel free to reach out to support . They may be able to let you know what the suspension was for and how long it will last.

@55412765 It depends. Might be weeks months or a perma ban.

@Cheese9Man I was banned for hateful conduct and I used my others are suspension and sanction

[55412765]

@EA_Lanna Why are bans permanent? Instead make sanctions permanent for users like I banned by offending, bullying, or hateful conduct also thank you for letting me know! if I am banned permanently is it recommended to delete said account

Hi @55412765, 

I can't help you figure out how to circumvent a permaban. Bans are added by Terms of Service for a reason and we won't offer support or advice on how to get around those bans.

All we can do for you is share a link to more information about bans, why bans are added and how to appeal them if the rules weren't broken: EA Bans and Suspensions - How they work and how to get in contact with us. We've complied information from EA Help articles together into this thread to create a helpful guide/FAQ. Hopefully it helps

@Cheese9Man How long is the ban if it's in the month range cause I was banned in August also cause I want to to know if I should delete my account or not

Hi @55412765,

Cheeseman won't know your ban duration, no-one on this forum will. Please follow the advice I shared in my initial post to get help with this one.
