How Valorant bans work

Valorant is operated by Riot Games and protected by Riot Vanguard, an anti-cheat that runs at system level on Windows. Vanguard bans can be set on the account and, in cheating cases, on the machine as well.

Appeals go to Riot's player support. For a hardware ban, however, the device history – parts bought second-hand, repairs, other users of the PC – can matter as much as the account history, and the appeal should set it out accordingly.

Step by step

How to appeal a Valorant ban

  1. Save the ban notice

    The first step is to secure the Valorant ban message as a screenshot and as text, together with the date, the platform and any reference number or ID it shows.

  2. Find the rule it relies on

    The notice usually names a rule. That rule shall be looked up in the terms Riot Games publishes, so that the appeal answers it instead of making a general complaint. Riot Games terms of service

  3. Collect what supports your side

    Useful evidence includes purchase receipts, earlier support replies with ticket numbers and, for a device ban, when the PC or console was acquired and who else used it. A password, however, is never part of the evidence.

  4. Send one clear appeal to Riot Games player support for Valorant

    The appeal is sent while signed in with the banned account, as a single request that sets out what happened in chronological order, why the rule does not fit and which documents are attached. Official page: support.riotgames.com/en-us/valorant (link checked on 26 Oct 2026)

  5. Keep the ticket and follow up with facts

    The ticket number and the reply shall be kept. If Riot Games refuses, a second request makes sense only with new facts or a clearer explanation; repeating the first request adds nothing.

We prepare steps 2 to 4 for you: the appeal text, the rule it answers and where to send it, checked by a person before you get it. Start your Valorant appeal
