Splitgate bans come from 1047 Games, and its current game, SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded (formerly Splitgate 2), runs a kernel-level anti-cheat called RedKard. The studio's Code of Conduct, updated on 24 June 2026, lists temporary or permanent matchmaking restrictions and account suspensions as penalties. Its EULA adds that one ban can end your license to every 1047 Games title. As of November 2026, neither document mentions hardware or IP bans. The game itself has moved around a lot: the original Splitgate's servers went offline on 29 August 2025, Arena Reloaded launched on 17 December 2025, and a move to peer-to-peer servers was announced in August 2026.

Which anti-cheat does Splitgate use?
SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded uses RedKard, an anti-cheat 1047 Games makes itself. The game's Steam page lists RedKard with the kernel-level anti-cheat notice and still links the Splitgate 2 EULA. Under the 1047 Games EULA, updated on 24 June 2026, the anti-cheat may collect and send details about your account, your gameplay and unauthorized programs.
That clause reads almost word for word like Warframe's in-house cheat detection terms. For the commercial anti-cheats other games use, see our roundup of the better-known kernel anti-cheats.
Does Splitgate HWID ban?
Splitgate has no published HWID ban policy. Neither the EULA nor the 1047 Games Code of Conduct mentions hardware or IP bans. The penalties they describe stop at matchmaking restrictions and account suspensions, temporary or permanent. If you want to know what a device ban involves elsewhere, start with our explainer on HWID bans or browse our list of games with hardware bans.
What can get you banned in Splitgate?
Splitgate bans cover cheating, anti-cheat tampering and bad behavior toward other players. The EULA forbids any attempt to "remove, disable, circumvent, or modify any technological measure", which takes in messing with RedKard. The Code of Conduct handles cheating and conduct, with penalties up to permanent matchmaking restrictions and account suspensions.
Can a Splitgate ban affect other 1047 Games titles?
A Splitgate ban can reach beyond Splitgate. The EULA says 1047 Games may terminate your license to use all of its games and services, so a ban in Arena Reloaded can follow you to the studio's other titles. Splitgate is one of several games whose publisher writes and enforces its own rules; Path of Exile 2's ban rules and our Metin2 ban guide cover two more in-house systems.
Is Splitgate still online?
The current Splitgate game is SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, and its server setup has changed several times:
- 29 August 2025: the original Splitgate's official servers went offline, leaving peer-to-peer play in place. The announcement said "anticheat will not be enabled in peer-to-peer matches."
- 17 December 2025: Splitgate 2 relaunched as SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded.
- Late August 2026: an update on Arena Reloaded's future announced a switch to P2P servers.
The published pages do not make clear whether RedKard runs in Arena Reloaded's peer-to-peer matches.
How do you appeal a Splitgate ban?
Splitgate has no published appeal process. Neither the EULA nor the Code of Conduct describes one. Contact the studio through the official Splitgate support channels from the banned account, and explain your case once. Our general HWID ban FAQ covers what tends to help an appeal.
