Sea of Thieves Ban Wave Tracker

Easy Anti-Cheat· Community ban reports

Getting banned in Sea of Thieves can mean different things depending on how Easy Anti-Cheat flagged your account. Some bans are temporary suspensions that expire after a set period. Others are permanent hardware bans — Easy Anti-Cheat scans running processes, checks driver signatures, and fingerprints hardware components including motherboard serial numbers, disk IDs, and MAC addresses, then blocks any machine matching those fingerprints from connecting.

We built this tracker to give Sea of Thieves players visibility into ban patterns. Rather than guessing whether you're dealing with a ban wave or a targeted ban, you can see real data from other players. Report your own experience below to contribute to the community's understanding of Sea of Thieves's current ban activity.

About these reports

The reports on this page are community submissions from Sea of Thieves 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 there a Sea of Thieves ban wave right now?+
Check the live ban report chart above. If you see a spike in reports over the last 24-48 hours, a ban wave is likely in progress. When reports stay below normal levels, it's more likely that individual bans are being issued rather than a coordinated sweep.
What should I do if I got banned in Sea of Thieves?+
Start by identifying what type of ban you received. Use the HWID Ban Checker below to diagnose whether it's an account ban, IP ban, or hardware ban. Account bans only affect one account. HWID bans flag your PC's hardware identifiers, meaning every new account you create on the same machine will also get banned.
How does Easy Anti-Cheat detect hardware bans in Sea of Thieves?+
Easy Anti-Cheat scans running processes, checks driver signatures, and fingerprints hardware components including motherboard serial numbers, disk IDs, and MAC addresses. It builds a unique profile of your machine and checks it against a database of banned hardware signatures. If your hardware profile matches, you're banned before you even get past the login screen.
How often does Sea of Thieves run ban waves?+
There's no fixed schedule — Sea of Thieves's ban waves depend on when Easy Anti-Cheat updates its detection methods. Sometimes waves happen weekly, other times there can be months of quiet followed by a large sweep. This tracker helps you spot the pattern.
Can I play Sea of Thieves again after a hardware ban?+
A hardware ban can only be bypassed by changing the identifiers that Easy Anti-Cheat flagged. This means either replacing physical components or using an HWID spoofer to rewrite the identifiers permanently — TraceX does this once, then you delete the binary and reinstall Sea of Thieves on a clean profile.
