EVE Online Ban Wave Tracker

EVE Anti-Cheat· Community ban reports

If you've been banned from EVE Online, you're not alone. EVE Anti-Cheat, the anti-cheat behind EVE Online, periodically runs ban waves that can affect hundreds of players simultaneously. It uses CCP's MONITORING clause to inspect game-client memory and aggregate hardware identifiers, applying machine-level enforcement actions that close all accounts associated with flagged hardware — making hardware-level bans especially persistent since they follow your PC, not just your account.

Our tracker gives you the data to understand what's happening. Below you'll find a 90-day history of EVE Online ban reports from the community, along with a form to report your own experience. Spikes in the chart typically correspond to ban waves, while a flat line suggests normal enforcement activity.

About these reports

The reports on this page are community submissions from EVE Online players who were banned for any reason — anti-cheat detections, ban waves, false flags, account-sharing, cheat-software use, suspicious behaviour, payment disputes, and so on. They are not bans that occurred while running TraceX HWID Spoofer. TraceX rewrites hardware identifiers to bypass an HWID ban after the fact — the data here exists so players can see ban-wave patterns and decide what to do next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EVE Online banning people right now?+
Look at today's data point in the chart above. If there are more reports than the 90-day average, EVE Online may be running an active ban wave. You can also report your own ban to help other players see the trend.
I got banned from EVE Online — is it a hardware ban?+
The quickest way to tell is to create a new account on the same PC. If the new account also gets banned within minutes or hours, you have a hardware ban. Use the diagnostic tool below for a more detailed analysis of your ban type.
What hardware does EVE Anti-Cheat track?+
EVE Anti-Cheat uses CCP's MONITORING clause to inspect game-client memory and aggregate hardware identifiers, applying machine-level enforcement actions that close all accounts associated with flagged hardware. The exact combination of identifiers it uses can change with updates, which is why ban waves often coincide with anti-cheat updates — new detection methods catch previously undetected hardware fingerprints.
Why am I banned from EVE Online on a new account?+
This is the hallmark of a hardware ban. EVE Anti-Cheat has flagged your machine's hardware profile, not just your account. Any account you log into from the same PC will inherit the ban because the anti-cheat recognizes the hardware before it checks the account.
How long do EVE Online ban waves last?+
Ban waves themselves are usually instantaneous — the anti-cheat processes a batch of detections at once. However, the effects are permanent for HWID bans. Temporary account bans vary from 24 hours to 30 days depending on the severity of the violation.
