After appealing your ban, the website will warn you with a huge attention note that reads “The account holder is responsible for any infraction of the account. Penalties are applied no matter who was playing at the time. Bans will only be overturned if we determine the infraction was due to unauthorized activity on your Activision account.

As a result, you have the right to appeal your ban but there is no guarantee you will succeed. Once you raise a ticket, the Activision support team may take a few weeks to review your case.

If the support team believes that you’ve received a false ban, they’ll uplift your suspension and also notify you about the same via your registered Email ID. You can also check the ban status by visiting the official Activision ban appeal website.

Finally, it’s important to note that you cannot appeal temporary bans or accounts that are put under review.
