Quick answer: Yes – many R6 Siege bans can be overturned if you send the appeal to the right avenue (Ubisoft Support for developer bans, BattlEye for anti-cheat), attach logs or match clips, and keep the ticket polite and factual.
Key takeaways
- Two ban sources: Ubisoft (player-behaviour, boosting) and BattlEye (cheats/macros).
- HWID bans mean every account on that PC is blocked; VPNs don’t help.
- Extreme hate-speech chat logs are almost never lifted.
- Cheat false positives – including macro software – are the most commonly reversed.
- Average reply time: Ubisoft 3-5 days, BattlEye up to 10 days.
Why Players Get Banned in Rainbow Six Siege
| Reason | Share of Cases (2024) |
| Cheating / macros / third-party tools | 57% |
| Toxicity | 18% |
| Boosting / account sharing | 12% |
| Compromised / hacked account | 9% |
| Lagging, glitching or exploiting | 4% |
Cheating in RSS covers: ESP, wall-hacks, auto-aim scripts, recoil macros, “no-recoil” mouse software, and skin unlock tools. Simply running macro utilities in the background has triggered BattlEye flags.
Temporary suspensions are usually handed out for match-flow abuse rather than cheats – things like deliberate friendly-fire, rage-quitting ranked matches, or constant toxic pings/voice spam. Repeated disconnects, lagging or early exits also carry an automatic Rank / Renown deduction on top of the time-based lockout.
Can You Unban a Rainbow Six Siege Account?
To get unbanned from Rainbow Six Siege, you should pair hard evidence with a strong defense – “what triggered, why it won’t repeat.” Pure “I’m innocent” pleas or proof-only dumps rarely work.
| Reason | Chance | Evidence Ubisoft Wants |
| Cheating false-positive | High | BattlEye log, system report (dxdiag / msinfo), antivirus scan results, recorded POV, list of installed peripherals. |
| Boosting / account share | Case-by-case | IP login map, squad chat showing no paid boost, match IDs. |
| Compromised account | High | Password-reset e-mail, 2FA screenshot, Ubisoft Device list. |
| Toxicity | Medium (none if slurs were used) | Full chat log, apology, proof of changed nickname (if it was offensive) |
| Exploits / glitches | Low | Demo clip showing glitch was accidental, bug-report ticket ID |
Evidence Checklist
- BattlEye log (
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye\) or Ubisoft ban e-mail. - ShadowPlay/OBS clip of the flagged round (30-60 s).
- Hardware and software list (show no macro tools or cheat DLLs).
- IP login history (and list of Ubisoft Trusted Devices).
- 2FA enabled screenshot if ban came as a result of an account compromise.
- Chat log and explained context for toxicity appeals.
How to Get Unbanned from Rainbow Six Siege
There are two types of restrictions for Rainbow Six Siege, namely:
- developer ban (Ubisoft);
- anti-cheat ban (BattlEye).
Depending on the ban you received, you need to contact the appropriate Support department.
1. Ubisoft Developer Ban Appeal
Process last updated on June 25, 2025
- Go to the Ubisoft Support Center;
Log into your account.
- Select “Rainbow Six Siege” from the game list, as well as the platform you play on;
For example, “PC” if you play on computer.
- Pick “Player reports, Bans and Sanctions”;
Additionally, you can go with “Account / Login” instead, depending on your ban or issue.
- Select “My account was banned or sanctioned” for the issue type;
You can also choose “Not listed here”, if the nature of the ban is out of the ordinary.
- Choose “Appeal a ban” for your issue;
For temporary suspensions, you can pick “Account temporarily banned”.
- Write your Rainbow Six Siege ban appeal;
Write your appeal. Include your ban reason and type, time it happened (such as straight after a patch or update), provide solid evidence and explain the context around the incident. Or skip the hassle and let us write it for you!.
Once everything is done, make sure to send your R6 Siege unban appeal through the “Open Case” button, and not as “Start chat”. It’s ideal to have a ticket instead of a chat when it comes to appealing a ban, as it allows for thorough reviews.
2. R6 Siege BattlEye Ban Appeal
If you’ve been banned by BattlEye, you need to submit a BattlEye R6 Siege ban appeal instead.
For that, you need to:
- go to BattlEye’s Support page;
- pick “Ban appeals” under “Select a contact”;
- fill in your name and email address;
- input a concise subject (such as Account banned in Rainbow Six Siege);
- write your ban appeal;
- agree to their terms and complete the captcha challenge;
- press the Submit button.
That’s it! Once you submit your case, all you need to do is keep an eye on your email address, as that’s where you’ll be receiving news on your R6S ban appeal. Also, make sure to check your Spam folder as well!
Helpful Tips Before You Click “Submit”
- One ticket per ban; duplicates reset your queue.
- Use calm language – no insults, no ALL-CAPS.
- Mention if macros were used for accessibility purposes and now removed.
- Zip video files over 25 MB before attaching.
- Check spam – Ubisoft replies often land there.
R6 Siege Ban FAQ
And lastly, here’s a quick Q&A with the most common questions we received for R6S bans:
Unless a temporary suspension is mentioned in the confirmation email, your ban is permanent. However, it’s quite rare for Ubisoft to issue temporary suspensions, and they’re mostly applied for mild toxicity following player reports.
No, Ubisoft does not issue IP bans but they do apply HWID restrictions though. That means that your entire computer (as well as any account associated with it) is banned, regardless of what IP you have. Thus, a VPN will not help bypassing it.
Smurfing per se is not against the rules. Thus, unless you’re not deranking and throwing games on purpose or smurfing just to grief other players, it is not a bannable offense.
Yes. Ubisoft takes toxicity very seriously, so regardless of it happening over voice or game chat, if you get reported for it and if the report is confirmed, you will get banned.

Heya and sorry to hear that happened to you! Unfortunately, for a 24 hour ban, it’s best to just wait it out, as depending on their current volume of work (as well as today being a Sunday), they might not even have a chance to review your case before the ban expires.
