Often times in Valorant you might feel your account got banned for no reason and you need to unban it. While these instances are rare, they are still possible. And even if you do accidentally make a few mistakes you should be able to play the game after a few penalties. But if your Ban is serious, then here is how you can make a ban appeal and get it removed.
How to Unban your Valorant Account
You can remove your Account Ban in Valorant by submitting a ticket or waiting for the penalty to get over. The Bans or Penalties in this game are of several types, and these are given to you based on your in-game behavior. We will check the different types of penalties in a bit, but for now, here is how you can submit an Unban appeal ticket:
- Go to the Penalties & Bans FAQ page.
- Scroll all the way down and click on the “/submit a ticket” button.
- Select the Request Type as “Recover my Account”.
- Choose “Ban/Suspension on my account” for the “How Did You Lose Access To Your Account?” option.
- Next, fill in your other details.
- Make sure you describe the issue correctly if the ban was unfair. Also, add any files like in-game screenshots or gameplay videos in the Attachments section if you have them. This should help the developers team to remove your ban faster if it got banned mistakenly.
- Finally, click on the Submit button below.
After Riot games verify the issue, they should unban your Valorant account if it was an unfair ban and get back to you about it.

How to Avoid Getting Banned
The easiest thing you can do to avoid getting banned is to play the game while keeping your conduct well. So don’t dodge queues, go AFK, be toxic, or use your abilities on your teammates, and you should be fine. You should also avoid doing other things that can get you a potential ban. But if you already receive a penalty then avoid the same mistakes to not get them again.
