How to Get Unbanned from Valorant in 2024

In this article, we’ll go over what you can do in order to get unbanned from Valorant, should you ever find yourself in that situation.

Now, as we know with any competitive game and especially with the ones in the FPS genre, one of their key ingredients to success is fairness.

On top of that, Riot is a company known to take that very seriously, as they also do with League of Legends, and thus, breaking the rules can quickly result in an account ban.

So, with that in mind, let’s go over the reasons for which bans are issued, and whether you can unban a Valorant account!

Valorant Account Ban Removed

Can You Unban a Valorant Account?

While the offenses below are also applicable and bannable in both FPS and Battle Royale games as well, including PUBG, Apex Legends or Fortnite, here are some of the most common reasons for which someone can get banned in Valorant:

  • cheating – regardless of reason, software, method and such;
  • gaining unfair advantage over other players through glitches, bugs and other in-game unintended features;
  • toxicity – and any other form of griefing, harassing, insulting other players;
  • sharing your account – regardless of reason, especially since it’s a free-to-play game;
  • buying or selling accounts.

The most important thing behind any successful ban appeal is the ban reason.

Account Unbanned from Valorant

For example, a player banned for extreme toxicity or racism will stand close to no change at getting unbanned from Valorant. Riot takes hate speech very seriously, so there isn’t much you can argue about.

Luckily, those are very rare cases, as not all toxicity bans have terrible chat logs.

On the other hand, if you got punished for mild toxicity (flaming, arguing, being annoying and such), you stand a much higher chance of recovering your Valorant account.

Same goes for cheating accusations, especially if the ban comes as a result of a false positive.

As for account sharing related actions, you need to be able to prove your ownership as part of the Valorant ban appeal process. That is, if it comes down to it.

Now that we’ve gone over the reasons for which an account can get restricted, let’s also see how a player can submit an appeal in order to get unbanned from Valorant!

How to Get Unbanned from Valorant

The process of submitting a Valorant ban appeal is quite simple, and it takes place entirely on Riot’s official website, right here.

Once you’re there, you need to click on their “Support” link at the top-left of the page, which will take you on the Support center here.

On here, you need to scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on the red “Submit a ticket” button.

You’ll then be prompted to log into your banned Riot account in case you aren’t already, and then you’ll be taken to the actual ban appeal form, which you’ll need to complete as such:

  • select “Discuss Personal Suspension or Restriction” under the “Request type”;
  • under “Subject”, you can write something concise yet relevant, such as “Valorant ban appeal“;
  • under the “Description” field, that’s where we come in handy, should you require our professional and customized Valorant unban service designed to get you unbanned from Valorant;
  • choose “Discuss Game Bans” under “Inquiry”;
  • select the correct duration of the ban – pick “31+ Days” for permanent bans;
  • based on the type of Valorant ban you received, under “Do you know why your account was suspended”, you can choose:
    • Inappropriate Chat Communication / In-Game Behavior for toxicity bans;
    • Third Party Programs for allegations of cheating;
    • Hacked / Compromised account if the ban came as a result of an account compromise;
    • Unsure if you have no idea why you got banned from Valorant.
  • attach any relevant files, if any (optional).

Do note that if your ban came as a result of your account getting compromised, you’ll also be required to verify your account ownership through a few extra fields as part of the Valorant ban appeal, so you should have this information ready.

Once all of that is done, all you need to do is press the red “Submit” button underneath the form, and your ticket will be sent to Riot for review.

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

Can you appeal a perma ban in Valorant?

Yes. In fact, permanent bans are the only type of bans worth appealing (apart from maybe suspensions for over 30 days). For anything lower, there are chances for your temporary suspension to expire by the time Riot properly reviews your case and gets back to you.

How long is a VAN 152 ban?

A VAN 152 ban in Valorant, which is a HWID restriction, can last for 4 months since the time it was applied.

How to get around a Valorant HWID ban?

The best way to have a Valorant HWID ban removed is by appealing it, the same way as you would an account. Trying various software or replacing computer parts will likely cause the new ones (as well as the new account) to get banned as well.

What is the VAL 61 ban code?

The VAL 61 error message is a confirmation that your account was banned. This can only be solved by submitting a ban appeal.

  1. Hello, so just recently I have been banned for hardware issues in my computer resulting in my game crashing. I then have to restart my computer resulting in my bans. I understand 3 minute and RR loss. Then, I recently have been banned because all of The GTA’s internet went out and then our team FF’D. I then come back to a 50 HOUR ban. It’s unfair. I am not toxic, I have never had any sharing of accounts or anything. PLEASE!

      Heya! Sorry to hear that happened to you. :/ Unfortunately, with a 50 hour ban it’s best to wait it out rather than appealing it, as they might not even have enough time to review it or get back to you before the suspension expires.

  2. i got hwid banned bc my friend came over and downloaded sm like a cheat or whatever. got banned for 120 days , 3rd party software. Now i take all the blame, my match history is normal aswell.

  3. I have been banned for inappropriate behavior. Which is absolute bs because I barely even talk/text in game and when I do it’s not toxic, but it started out as a 10 minute ban then I closed the game and it’s at 120 hours then the next day it’s at 300 now every time it hits 100 it goes back up to 300

  4. So I have logged in one day in my account to find out that I have been banned permanently. Then at this moment, I remembered that a week ago while I was checking in my career stats I found that I got 46 kills in a competitive game with Reyna, an agent that I have never used, my main is Fade, then Yoru, Then KAY/O. But I am sure that was not me and that is probably the reason I got banned permanently, as it says due to using third party software

  5. Same thing happened to me today I logged in my account and found out I got perma banned for using 3rd party software and I know myself that I don’t use cheats then I checked my main accounts career stats and found out that someome was using my account on july 31. That day I was away at home and I didn’t even know how the person got my username and password I don’t even share my accounts to anybody.

  6. I was just Perma-Banned for Unauthorized 3rd party use when there isn’t a single program on my computer that interacts with Valorant like that, the closest would be the Vortex Mod Loader for Fallout 4 but that doesn’t have Valorant compatibility so I’m confused why it happened.

      Heya! Damn, that’s unfortunate. It’s likely a false positive ban triggered by the Fallout 4 mod in question. Even if it’s not used in relation to Valorant, it can still be seen as such by their anti-cheating system, especially if it’s open at the same time as Valorant.

  7. I got a ban for 7 days cause of afk. My interent shot itself in a spike rush recently and I couldnt do anything to reconnect. I come back on and get a 7 day. I put in a appeal today. How long does it usually take riot to respond on these?

      Heya! It generally depends on their volume of work at the time of the appeal, but it rarely takes longer than a day or two.

  8. i got a 100 year ban because valorant slapped me a message midgame “we are disconnecting you because of problems in the server” then i logged back in after 10 mins to see a 100 year ban this is bs

  9. So , hwid ban Valorant. After that 90/120 days have passed, do anyone know if I can use the same email adres that I got hwid ban? Also , after that 90/120 days can I play on the account? I mean what it says at me VAN 152 ( hwid ban ) , when the ban dissapears can I play on the account or I need to make a new one with a new emaill adress and all the stuff?

      Heya! You can’t use the same email as the one on your banned account (unless you, or Riot, removes that email from the banned account). And no, after 90-120 days, only your HWID (computer/device) ban expires, allowing you to create a brand new account and play. Your previous account will remain banned, unless you appeal it.

  10. Just got permanently suspended for requesting a region change from ireland to argentina, they say they cannot verify im the original creator of the account, what must i do in order to recover my account, ive already submitted 3 tickets, is it possible to get unbanned from this?

      Heya and sorry to hear that happened to you. It should be fairly easy to overturn that Valorant ban if you provide them with the ownership information. If they haven’t requested it already, ask them to provide you with a set of questions to verify your ownership. Apart from that, without the verification answers, there isn’t any other way to prove you’re the account owner, unfortunately.
