EA Connect showed up for everyone except one person in our group. Is there something more than checking the setting to get it to work? (For that player, they see the same thing on their phone and tablet device)
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @j8070800ut16,
Ok, I can see where things are getting mixed up on the support side. So, the agent is correct in that the EA support team wouldn't be able to pull up accounts from other companies, the Play store for example would be Googles domain.
As you're looking for the 'EA Connect' option, which tries to connect the SWGOH gaming account to the EA account, it's these accounts we'd want a look at and the Live support team can check on both of those accounts for you (you can see your EA account's DOB here). That Date of Birth for both of these accounts needs to be above the age of 18.
What I recommend doing now is:
That should help prompt the advisor to check for the DOB's on both accounts. If the DOB is registered as under 18 for one or both of those accounts, you'll need the advisors help to 'Age-up' the accounts. They'll ask you at that stage for proof of age to ensure you're not a minor chancing their arm to get access to features currently not available to them (read for more on that). There'll be set criteria as to what's accepted to prove that but once that's been verified, they'll update the DOB for both accounts and you should be able to use the 'EA Connect' option from there.

I don't know of a solution but I can tell you it's not an isolated incident. There are many people with this problem.

Thank you… hopefully EA will fix it or someone will share what is causing the problem.

Hello @Resolute_Archer
Just out of curiosity.. is your friend in the group using android or apple? From what I have seen posted about this issue it seems to be always on an apple device.

I believe just Apple.

Hi @Resolute_Archer,
I'm catching up with threads on this board. Did you get sorted with this since your last post? Did you contact the support team?

I am having the same issue but I am on Android S22. I log onto the game and only see Facebook Connect and Google Play Connect, there is no EA option. I have tried uninstalling and installing the game. Kind of frustrating.
Also tried to use the help button (in game), but I haven't heard anything back yet.

Hi @j8070800ut16,
Thanks for that context. Typically when this issue occurs it's due to age restrictions limiting the account from connecting online. Tends to happen when the date of birth input states your a minor. You did the right thing by trying to contact the support team. If a few days have passed with no response to your case, grab the case number, along with your Player ID/Ally Code (just incase it's needed) and try contacting the support team through live support (Phone/Chat). They can use those details to pull up your account and look into things from there.

I wasn't given a case number and haven't been contacted yet. Age shouldn't be an issue, hopefully we can get it fixed.

Well I talked with three people directly (chat) from EA that really were not able to help. Anything else you suggest Lanna ?
