Account bans have been quite prevalent in Garena Free Fire in recent years. The reason behind the growing numbers can be attributed to the increase in several cheaters, while Garena has also been strictly implying their anti-hack policy. Thus, the number of bans has also sky-rocketed beyond 100k.

There are several cheating methods that Hackers have developed to get in-game benefits without getting noticed by developers' anti-hack systems. However, Garena's drastic measures ensure every cheater gets detected. Thus, in some cases, suspicious activities and mass reporting can block player accounts.

If players are found using any of the hacks or other prohibited methods in the game, they instantly become eligible to receive a ban (temporary or permanent). Thus, if players are found guilty with evidence, there is zero chance for Garena to revoke the ban.

However, if users get banned for no apparent reason, which is highly unlikely, they can contact FF support to submit their request. Thus, players who are not guilty of any cheating can follow the following steps to contact Free Fire support regarding the unban request:

Step 1: Open the Free Fire support center by clicking here.
