Quick answer: Yes, Wargaming will lift a World of Tanks ban if your appeal identifies the exact violation code, supplies client logs, replays or ModStation screenshots that show the detection was wrong, and follows the regional ticket flow. Below we cover top ban triggers, a success matrix, a specific evidence checklist, and step-by-step ban appeal instructions.
Key takeaways
- Illegal or “red” mods account for 61 % of WoT bans in 2024, far ahead of any other cause.
- Compromised accounts overturn quickly when you attach IP-login history plus two-factor confirmation.
- EU and NA teams reply in 48-72 hours on average, RU and Asia queues run closer to five days.
- Uploading the latest replay and python.log boosts approval odds.
- Submit one ticket at a time, duplicate submissions are auto merged and lose queue priority
- Safe Mode launches without mods, use it before collecting logs for your evidence pack.
Why World of Tanks Accounts Get Banned
The numbers below come from our ticket-volume dataset. And here’s the Wargaming EULA.
| Ban Reason | Distribution of Cases (2024) |
| Illegal or unfair mods, AimAssist, Tundra, reload timer | 61 % |
| Toxic chat, harassment, political slurs | 14 % |
| Real-money gold or vehicle sales | 9 % |
| Account sharing, boosting or win trading in platoons | 7 % |
| Exploiting map bugs / glitches | 6 % |
| Compromised account / suspicious logins | 3 % |
Wargaming flags client file hashes and battle telemetry; the Fair Play team groups anything outside the approved mod hub under unfair play detections.
Can You Unban a World of Tanks Account?
No matter the accusation, reviewers want a clear timeline explaining what triggered the ban, why that finding is wrong, and how every attachment backs your version.
| Accusation | Ideal Evidence to Provide |
| Unfair mod detection | python.log, ModStation list, Safe Mode replay proving default client |
| Toxic chat first strike | Full chat log, apology, context if you were provoked |
| RMT gold or tank sale | Payment receipts, trade chat screenshots, proof of no third-party deal |
| Boosting or shared login | IP timeline, statement of sole play, two-factor auth enabled |
| Exploit or win trade | Replay showing accidental bug, bug-report ticket number |
| Compromised account | Recovery e-mails, IP-login map, antivirus scan |

How to Get Unbanned from WoT
To overturn a World of Tanks account restriction, you must submit a ban appeal. Here’s how to do that:
- Go to the official WoT Help Page;
- Pick “Account” or “I can’t login” from the list of issues;
- Choose the correct ban reason, such as “Chat & Game ban“;
- Scroll to the bottom of the next page and click on “Create ticket“;
- Select the platform, “Steam” or “Wargaming Game Center”;
- Write your WoT ban appeal in the “Describe your issue” box – mention anything relevant regarding the ban, timing, what you were doing, if it happened after a patch/update and why it’s falsely issued. Or skip the hassle and let us handle it for you!
Once you’ve completed the form for your WoT account unban appeal, press the Send ticket button at the bottom of the page, and your ticket will be sent to Wargaming Customer Support!
All that’s left to do now is wait until Customer Support reviews your appeal and get back to you with their reply via mail. As a hint though, make sure to check the Spam folder as well! Best of luck!
Helpful Tips
- Launch the game in Safe Mode to generate a clean log without mods, then exit and collect files.
- Pack your python.log and replay in a single ZIP named BanAppeal_FamilyName.zip to keep the size under 20 MB.
- List the exact build number from the login screen, older clients flag mismatched mods.
- Note the battle time in UTC; investigators search telemetry by timestamp.
- If you ever used XVM or third-party crosshair packs, uninstall them before grabbing screenshots of the empty
modsfolders. - Avoid playing on alt accounts while the main ticket is open, new unfair play hits close current appeals.
WoT Ban FAQ
Red mods give direct combat advantages and are always bannable. Grey mods are borderline; using them after a notice can still trigger a strike. Check the current Fair Play list before reinstalling any add-on.
Only for repeated use of illegal mods. The usual penalty is account based. Persistent offenders can receive a PC-based lock but it stays within the Wargaming ecosystem, not Steam.
Large one-way gift chains sometimes look like RMT gold laundering. Attach the store receipt and screenshots of the friendship level event to show the gifts were legitimate.
You can, but by the time Support replies the suspension often ends. Focus appeals on permanent bans or unfair mod strikes.
Yes, once the penalty is removed your clan roles, Stronghold access and personal rating return automatically. Gold earned during the ban does not backfill.
