Free Fire Account Banned? Reasons and How to Appeal

If Free Fire banned your account, note the reason shown in game and contact Garena support with your player ID. Cheating bans are usually permanent.

Ban messages

Common reasons

• Modified Free Fire apps, mod menus or auto-aim tools.
• Playing with known cheaters or teaming against the rules.
• Buying diamonds from unofficial sellers.
• Abusive names or chat.
• Using emulators where not allowed.

How to appeal

1. Write down your player ID and the ban message.
2. Open the Free Fire support page from Garena, or the support option in game if it works.
3. Submit a ticket explaining why you believe it is a mistake.
4. Wait for a reply by email or in the ticket.

Account was used by someone else

If a friend or a "booster" logged in and cheated, say so, but bans still often stay. Never share your login. Link your Free Fire account to a Google, Facebook or VK account you control, so you can recover it.

Recovering a guest account

Guest accounts are tied to one device. If you clear data or lose the phone, progress may be lost. See Garena account recovery.

Unban sellers

People on YouTube, Telegram or TikTok offering unbans for money or diamonds are scammers. Garena does not sell unbans.

Starting over

On a device ban, a new account on the same phone may also be blocked. Wait for support's reply before creating another account.

Device bans and new phones

A device ban stays with the phone, not just the account. If you bought a second-hand phone that was banned before, you may see a ban message on a new account. Contact Garena support with your purchase details in that case.

Keep proof of purchases

Save receipts for diamonds you buy through Google Play, the App Store or Garena's official top-up pages. They help prove ownership in any support case.

Read the ban notice

The game shows a message when you log in to a banned account, often with a reason and an end date. Take a screenshot of it, because support will ask what the notice says when you appeal.
