Unbanster Research TeamBan Appeal, PUBG11 Comments

Quick answer: You can get unbanned from PUBG if you choose the right appeal channel (Developer, BattlEye, VAC, or Mobile support), add proof such as match IDs and anti-virus scans, and explain the context with a solid defense appeal.

Key takeaways

  • Cheat false-positives and hacked accounts show the best success rate.
  • Toxic chat or offensive nicknames lift only if no hate speech appears in logs.
  • VAC bans are rare but permanent unless evidence shows Valve mis-flagged the account.
  • Mobile 10-year bans can be overturned if you prove device spoof or account compromise.
  • Average reply time: Developer 3-5 days, BattlEye 7-10 days, Mobile Support 48 h.

In order to appeal your PUBG Mobile ban through the website, you must first get on their official Support website here. Pick Android or iOS from the top-left corner, then fill this form as such:

  • input your account’s registered email address and in-game nickname;
  • select the platform on which you play the game;
  • under “Issues”, select “Account Management“;

Helpful Appeal Tips

  • No threats, no ALL-CAPS, no blame-shifting.
  • One ticket per channel; spamming resets your queue.
  • Disclose emulator/VPN use or IP travel in the first message.
  • Do not claim “my cousin cheated on my PC” – shared-account bans are also violations.

And lastly, here’s a quick Q&A regarding bans:

Does PUBG ban your device?

Yes, PUBG issues hardware bans for cheating accusations. HWID bans, like the account ones, can only be removed by submitting a ban appeal.

Can a VPN bypass a PUBG ban?

No, using a VPN will not help bypassing a ban, since a HWID ban is a ban placed on your computer parts, not the IP. PUBG does not ban IPs.

Do PUBG accounts get deleted?

No, the accounts are not deleted, even if they are banned or inactive. This means that you will still be able to appeal and recover a banned account, even if it happened several years ago.

Is it safe to play PUBG after ban?

If your PUBG ban was overturned then yes, it’s safe to jump back in it and play. But, getting unbanned doesn’t mean you’ll be immune to future punishments if you ever get accused of breaking the rules again.

      Heya! It can sometimes take a bit longer than 48 hours, depending on a few things on their end. However, if the ban isn’t cleared within 7 days of their confirmation email, you should definitely get back in touch with them for an update.

  4. I hope this message finds you well. My name is AestheticRoyal, and I’ve been a dedicated player of PUBG: Battlegrounds for the past 8 years. I am writing to appeal my recent ban, which I strongly believe is a misunderstanding or a result of external interference, and I respectfully request a full review of my account.

    2 weeks ago, I decided to try Ranked play for the very first time in 8 years. Unfortunately, during my first match, I encountered a toxic player who teamkilled one of our teammates early in the game. I attempted to engage with him to understand his actions, but he responded with hostility, cursing me out and threatening to shut down my internet. I continued playing the game and tried my best to ignore the situation. However, a few minutes later, after I had been eliminated from the match, I stepped away briefly to take care of my dogs. When I returned 10-15 minutes later, I found that my internet had been shut off, leaving me without any connection.

    While I initially assumed the player was simply trolling, I now have serious concerns that he may have taken further actions to interfere with my account or network. I fear that his threats were not just idle words and that he may have played a role in triggering the ban I received. I had only played one game and then had to log off to go to work, so I was completely blindsided when I found myself banned.

    I’d like to provide some important context that I didn’t include earlier, as I only recently connected the dots on what may have actually happened:

    During a recent game, I had a teammate who repeatedly made threatening comments, saying things like he was going to shut off my internet and mess with my computer. At the time, I assumed he was just trolling or bluffing, but later that day, I started noticing unusual activity — and I unfortunately wasn’t even home, as I had to leave for a shift at work

    Now I’m genuinely concerned that something might have happened to my account or network setup while I was gone. I can’t confirm exactly what was done, but the timing lines up disturbingly well, and I now believe this may have played a role in the ban I received.

    I understand how serious account security and anti-cheat enforcement are, and I want to be completely honest about everything. I’ve been playing PUBG for many years with no issues, and I’ve never knowingly used any cheats or tried to break the rules. If there’s any way for the team to double-check logs or unusual activity patterns around the time of the ban, I would be incredibly grateful.
