How to Handle a Valorant Ban

Identify the restriction type before paying for recovery services. Temporary, permanent, HWID, comms, and queue bans follow different paths.

Different Types of Valorant Restrictions

Temporary game bans, permanent account bans, HWID device bans, communication restrictions, and ranked queue limits each need different support articles.

Step 1: Check Your Riot Account

Sign into the correct account and read enforcement notifications from Riot — not unofficial checkers.

Step 2: Understand Appeal Eligibility

Cheating-related permanent bans are serious. HWID cases use Riot's hardware review documentation.

Can UGC Appeal Automation Help?

UGC may organize information but cannot force Riot to lift a penalty. Use Support desk for order-related loader issues separately.

Final Thoughts

Accurate restriction identification beats generic unban promises.
