Before you appeal

What to keep if you were caught in a wave

In a wave, publishers handle many appeals at once, and short or angry tickets are closed quickly. A clear record of your own account helps a reviewer separate your case from the rest.

  • The full ban notice, as a screenshot and as text.
  • Launcher and anti-cheat logs, and any error or connection messages.
  • Proof that the account is yours: purchase receipts and login history.
  • A timeline of software installs, driver updates, overlays and device changes around the ban.
