What to Do if Your Origin Account Is Banned

You decide that you have worked enough and want to spend a little time with your favorite game. However, when you try to log in to Origin, you realize that your account is no longer accessible. Do you know what to do when your Origin account gets banned?

One of the first things to do is contact Origin to find out the reason for the suspension. The next step is to consider how you would appeal the restoration of your account. This would largely depend on how Origin allows you to and will require that you do your own research.

If getting your suspended Origin account back seems like a tedious task, read on to find out how DoNotPay can make the process easier for you.

Why Was My Origin Account Banned?

Origin is a part of EA Games, and therefore, subject to the Terms of Agreement that they have created. According to EA, your account may be banned if you repeatedly make extreme violations of their Terms of Service agreement or their Rules of Conduct.

This means that EA could ban your account for:

• Cheating: This includes using Aimbots, Wallhacks, or other cheats, abusing glitches or bugs, abusing game features, manipulating ranking systems, and using cheat tools.
• Vulgarity: If there are chat features in the game, and you use extreme profanity, harass, bully, or threaten other players. This also includes posting sexually explicit or obscene things.
• Advertise: You should never use game chat to spam, advertise, or solicit anyone. This can also include phishing or attempting to get the account information of another person.
• Impersonate: You should not impersonate someone or imply that you are EA staff or a representative of EA.
• Exposing Personal Information: You should never use your real name or try to use leaderboards to identify others.

If caught doing these things, you will receive warnings. Then, if you cannot change your behavior, you may be banned from accessing many of the games that are a part of EA.

Since many of the "violations" are regarding in-game chat, there is a question of "can accounts be banned on Origin and the single-player games." The answer to this is, "No."

As of 2012, your Origin account with single-player games will not be blocked because you violate the Terms of Service or Rules of Conduct. However, you will not be able to access games that have chat features.

What to Do if You Get Banned From Origin?

It can be infuriating getting banned from a game that you’ve spent hours playing and is most likely part of your daily routine. EA attempts to make it simple for you to appeal the suspension.

Below are steps that you need to take:

1. First, find out for sure what is going on with your account. Check your email for any notification related to the suspension.
2. Visit EA online and sign in to your banned or suspended account.
3. You will then be prompted to write an email and web form to give details about your account ban or suspension.
4. Provide all relevant information about your case and wait for a response.

The appeal process will begin, and you will have to wait on EA and Origin to make their decision.

What Information Should You Provide When Submitting an Appeal

Do take note that if it appears your Origin account is banned, but you have not received an email from EA, there could be a specific game that has banned or suspended your account.

Some games like Need for Speed No Limits, Ultima Online, and Real Racing may have their own dispute processes. You could also be banned by Xbox or PlayStation, which means you will need to contact them to have your account unbanned.

Below are details that you need to include when sending an appeal to restore your account:

• Your Username - This may be your EA ID, PlayStation ID, Xbox Gamertag, Game Username, or Mobile Specific ID.
• Email Address - Make sure to provide the email that is linked to your account if you are using a different email address from your log-in.
• Other Relevant Information - Include details about the error or notifications that you have received. This should include if you feel that your account was hacked, or you feel that you were wrongly banned.

If your Origin account is suspended, things can be complicated to get back on the right track. There is no telling how long your Origin account can get suspended for. If you are tired of struggling or going through the process, DoNotPay may be able to help you reinstate your account.
