That dreaded "Account Banned" message in Splitgate hits hard. One moment you’re dominating the portal battles, and the next, you’re locked out—your hard-earned stats, skins, and time vanished in a blink. Naturally, you’re searching for ways to fix this and get back in the fight.

Here’s the good news: you actually do have options. The tricky part? Only one is guaranteed to work.

In this guide, we'll cover the two main ways to get unbanned from Splitgate: the official Appeal Process with Gesture Studios, and the Guaranteed Bypass Method using Sync Spoofer. We’ll walk you through the best steps for both, so you can decide what’s right for you.

Method 1: Appealing Directly to Gesture Studios

This should always be your first move. If your ban was a misunderstanding or your account got compromised, appealing directly is your only chance to restore your original profile.

When Does an Appeal Actually Work?

Honestly, the odds are low for serious bans, but you might get lucky if:

  • Your account was hacked: Someone else accessed your profile and broke the rules.
  • It was a false detection: Some software running on your PC (like certain overlays or antivirus) accidentally triggered the anti-cheat system.
  • It was a minor slip-up: A first-time warning for minor offenses might be forgiven.

However, if your ban is due to confirmed cheating or a strict HWID (Hardware ID) ban, your appeal will almost certainly be declined. Gesture Studios keeps detailed records, and once they make that final call, overturning it is nearly impossible.

Step-by-Step: How to Submit an Appeal

Think your ban was unfair? Here's the smart way to approach your appeal.

  • Step 1: Gather Evidence
    • Before writing, collect anything that supports your claim. This could be screenshots, video clips, or purchase records if relevant. If hacking is involved, save any suspicious login alerts or emails.
  • Step 2: Head to Gesture Studios Support
    • Visit the official Gesture Studios support page and try logging into your banned account.
  • Step 3: Find the Correct Contact Form
    • Look for a "Contact Us" or "Support" option.
    • Navigate dropdowns to report a ban, selecting options like: PC -> Splitgate -> Account Issues -> Ban Appeal.
  • Step 4: Write a Polite, Straightforward Appeal
    • Don’t vent or get emotional. Keep it short and respectful.
    • Be Honest: Explain if it was a mistake or share any relevant details, like a family member using your account.
    • State the Facts: Clearly say why you believe your ban was unjust.
    • Keep it concise: Support staff handle tons of tickets, so clarity counts.
  • Step 5: Attach Proof and Send
    • Upload your evidence from Step 1 and hit submit. Then, brace yourself—it could take days or even weeks to hear back.

If the appeal falters, don’t despair—there’s still hope.

Method 2: Bypassing the Ban with Sync Spoofer (Your Guaranteed Fix)

Denied on your appeal? Or aware that your ban is HWID-based and thus appeal-proof? Time to stop waiting and act. You can be back in the portal wars right now.

This method uses Sync Spoofer to make your PC appear as a completely fresh system to Splitgate’s servers, sidestepping hardware bans altogether.

Step-by-Step: How to Bypass Your Splitgate Ban

  • Step 1: Pick Your Sync Spoofer Plan
    • You’ll need a Sync Spoofer license. Your choices include:
      • Temporary Spoofer: The go-to pick. Run it before gaming, no Windows reinstall required. Quick and fuss-free to get you back playing fast. For more on this, check our guide to temporary HWID spoofers.
      • Permanent Spoofer: A one-and-done solution that permanently changes your hardware IDs. After setup, no more tinkering needed. Learn about the differences in our permanent vs temporary HWID spoofers article.
  • Step 2: Join Our Discord for Quick Access
    • Purchase comes with an auto-invite to a private Discord. There, you get your license key, download links, tutorial videos, and 24/7 support. Our best spoofer guide explains why Sync Spoofer stands out.
  • Step 3: Run the Cleaner and Spoofer Tools
    • First, run the included cleaner—this wipes any hidden files Gesture Studios uses to track your hardware. Skipping this makes the spoofer ineffective! For detailed instructions on this process, see our HWID cleaner and reset guide.
    • Then, launch the spoofer. With a single click, it masks your hardware IDs, giving your PC a fresh identity.
  • Step 4: Create a Brand-New Splitgate Account
    • Remember, spoofing unbans your PC, not the old account. That account’s history is wiped out.
    • Register a new Epic Games account with a fresh email. Don’t reuse old payment or contact info.
  • Step 5: Jump Back Into Splitgate
    • Log in with your new account and jump right back in. The whole setup takes less than 15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Let’s tackle some common questions about Splitgate bans—whether game bans, IP blocks, or those dreaded HWID bans.

Should I appeal first, or just jump straight to using a spoofer?

If you’re absolutely sure your ban was a mistake (like hacking or a false positive), always try appealing first. That’s your shot at getting your original profile back. But if it’s an HWID ban or serious cheating case, save yourself the wait—go straight to the spoofer and get back in action.

What’s the difference between an account ban and an HWID ban?

Think of an account ban like getting kicked out of a club with your membership card revoked. An HWID ban is like the club blacklisting your face and ID so no card, no matter how new, gets you in. A spoofer gives you a “new face” by changing your hardware IDs, fooling the system’s bouncers. If you want to dive deeper, our HWID changer explanation breaks down the tech behind it.

Can Gesture Studios detect Sync Spoofer?

Nope. Free or low-quality spoofers get caught all the time, but Sync Spoofer is a premium tool. Our team keeps it updated constantly, staying ahead of anti-cheat measures. Staying undetected is our specialty. For an overview of common detection methods, check out our top anti-cheat software article.

If I spoof and make a new account, do I get my old skins and stats back?

Unfortunately, no. The spoofer frees your PC—but your old account, and all associated skins, stats, and purchases, are gone. Spoofing lets you start fresh, not recover past progress.

Is the "Permanent Spoofer" truly permanent? What if I upgrade my hardware?

Yes, it permanently changes your current hardware serial IDs. These changes stick through Windows updates and reinstalls. Swap out major hardware components later, like your motherboard? You might need to re-spoof, but otherwise, it’s a set-it-and-forget-it fix.

Your Move: Stop Waiting, Start Playing Splitgate

Bottom line: you have two options.

Roll the dice on an appeal, wait in line for weeks, hoping for a miracle. Or take the reins and guarantee you’ll be back in the portals before your next coffee break.

Being locked out sucks, but it doesn’t have to be your reality. Ready to quit waiting and start fragging? Sync Spoofer is your best bet.
