How Sea of Thieves bans work
Sea of Thieves is developed by Rare and published by Xbox Game Studios. Since April 2025, Rare has enforced its rules through a points system, under which cheating leads to a permanent ban at once and other offences to suspensions that add up.
It shall be noted that a penalty can sit either in the game or on the Microsoft account. In the first case, Rare's Player Support reviews it; in the second, the player requests a case review on the Xbox Enforcement page, from which device bans are excluded.

How to appeal a Sea of Thieves ban
-
Save the ban notice
The first step is to secure the Sea of Thieves ban message as a screenshot and as text, together with the date, the platform and any reference number or ID it shows.
-
Find the rule it relies on
The notice usually names a rule. That rule shall be looked up in the terms Rare Ltd. publishes, so that the appeal answers it instead of making a general complaint. Rare Ltd. terms of service
-
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.
-
Send one clear appeal to Rare's Player Support (game penalties) or the Xbox case review (Microsoft account)
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.seaofthieves.com (link checked on 26 Oct 2026)
-
Keep the ticket and follow up with facts
The ticket number and the reply shall be kept. If Rare Ltd. 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 Sea of Thieves appeal

Questions about Sea of Thieves appeals
Can a Sea of Thieves ban be appealed?
Yes. Rare's Player Support reviews game penalties, and for enforcement on the Microsoft account Xbox offers a case review on its Enforcement page; device bans are not eligible.
I play on Steam. Does that change anything?
The game still links to the Microsoft account used to sign in, so enforcement on that account is reviewed by Xbox.
