Seeing the dreaded "Account Banned" message in Dead by Daylight hits hard. All your ranks, killer perks, and progress wiped away in an instant. You’re probably scrambling for solutions, wondering if there’s even a way back.

The good news? There are options. The bad news? Only one method actually guarantees success.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through two ways to get unbanned from Dead by Daylight: the official Appeal Process with Behaviour Interactive, and the Guaranteed Bypass Method using a tool like Sync Spoofer. We’ll cover both in detail so you can pick the path that fits your situation.

Method 1: Appealing Directly to Behaviour Interactive

This should always be your first move. If your ban was a mistake or your account got hijacked, the appeal is the only official way to get your original Dead by Daylight account back.

When Does an Appeal Actually Work?

Real talk: in most legit cheat cases, the chances are slim. But you might get lucky if:

  • Someone else hacked your account: If your login was compromised and banned unfairly.
  • False positive ban: Sometimes legitimate software on your PC can trigger anti-cheat systems by accident.
  • A minor offense: Maybe you got a warning or temporary ban for toxicity and it’s your first strike.

If you got hit with an HWID (hardware) ban or a strict cheat ban, your appeal will nearly always be declined. Behaviour Interactive’s systems log everything, so reversing a hard ban is nearly impossible.

Step-by-Step Guide to Submitting Your Appeal

If you think your ban is unjust, follow these steps carefully to improve your chances:

  • Step 1: Gather your evidence
    • Get screenshots, gameplay clips, or proof like transaction receipts. If you suspect hacking, screenshots of suspicious login attempts help.
  • Step 2: Visit Behaviour Interactive Support
    • Go to the official support site and try to sign into your banned account. For more on understanding hardware bans, check our Dead by Daylight Hardware ID Ban guide.
  • Step 3: Locate the correct appeal form
    • Find options like “Account Issues” → “Ban Appeal”. Choose the categories that best match your case.
  • Step 4: Write a clear, respectful appeal
    • Don’t vent or get emotional—stick to facts.
    • Be honest: If a sibling used your account, say it.
    • Explain why you think the ban was wrong.
    • Keep it short; support reps read tons of tickets daily.
  • Step 5: Attach your proof and submit
    • Upload all your supporting files and send it off. The waiting game begins—it can take days or weeks to hear back.

If your appeal is denied, don’t despair—there’s another route.

Method 2: Bypassing the Ban using Sync Spoofer (Guaranteed to Work)

Got denied? Or do you know you have an HWID ban that makes appeals useless? Time to stop asking and start acting—get yourself back into Dead by Daylight today.

This method uses Sync Spoofer to give your PC a fresh identity. It tricks Behaviour Interactive’s anti-cheat into thinking you’re playing on a totally different machine, bypassing those brutal hardware bans. To understand how such spoofers operate in various games, see our coverage on how Vanguard HWID spoofers work.

  • Step 3: Run the Cleaner and Spoofer tools
    • This is crucial: first run the built-in cleaner—it wipes every hidden trace Behaviour Interactive left on your system. Skipping this could get you caught!
    • Then launch the spoofer. One click masks your PC details, giving you a new identity the anti-cheat doesn’t recognize.
  • Step 4: Create a fresh Dead by Daylight account
    • Remember: spoofs unban your hardware, not your original account. That account is lost forever.
    • Make a new Epic Games account with an unused email—avoid recycling old payment info or phone numbers.
  • Step 5: Jump back into Dead by Daylight!
    • Log in with your new account and start playing immediately. The whole process takes less than 15 minutes total.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Some common questions about Dead by Daylight bans, whether it’s an account, IP, or tough HWID ban. If you want to learn more about hardware ID bans in general and how to verify them, our HWID Ban Checker guide can help.

Should I try an appeal first, or go straight to a spoofer?

If you’re absolutely sure your ban was a mistake—like your account got hacked or a clear false positive—go for the appeal first. It’s your only shot at your old account. For all other bans, especially HWID bans for cheating, save the time and jump straight to using a spoofer.

What’s the difference between an account ban and a hardware ban?

Think of an account ban like getting kicked out of a party. An HWID ban is like the party organizer banning your face and phone number—you can’t get in no matter what. Using a spoofer gives you a totally new “face” by changing your hardware IDs, so the anti-cheat doesn’t recognize you. For more explanation, see our article on Minecraft Hardware Ban Explained.

Can Behaviour Interactive detect Sync Spoofer?

Nope. Unlike free or low-grade spoofers that get caught, Sync Spoofer is maintained by a dedicated team updating it constantly to stay ahead of anti-cheat improvements. It’s engineered for stealth and reliability.

Will using a spoofer let me keep my old items or progress?

Unfortunately not. Spoofing unbans your PC hardware, not your account. Your old Dead by Daylight account, perks, and cosmetics are gone. Spoofing lets you start fresh with a new account and clean slate.

Is the Permanent Spoofer really permanent? What if I upgrade my PC?

Yes, it permanently changes the serial IDs on your current components and survives Windows reinstalls and updates. If you change major parts later, like your motherboard, you might need to re-run the spoofer. Otherwise, it’s a true “set and forget” option.

Your Move: Stop Waiting, Start Slaying

In the end, you’ve got two choices. Sit and hope your appeal is one of the extremely rare successes, waiting days or weeks with no guarantees—or take matters into your own hands with Sync Spoofer and get back in the Dead by Daylight hunt right now.

Being locked out sucks, but it doesn’t have to be your story. Ready to stop waiting and start chasing survivors or killers again? Sync Spoofer is the fastest, most reliable way to get there.
