Feature restriction
In FC 27 EA can close a single feature instead of the whole game. The account gets an e-mail, and a pop-up stops the feature from opening.

FIFA coins ban: what EA’s rules mean for a buyer
Read this before you order. It is the part most shops leave out.

The rule
The wording EA uses
Two documents matter here. The User Agreement, in its part on fair play, rules out any involvement in trading or farming of in-game currency, whether as buyer or as seller. EA’s help article about fair play in FC is blunter: coins bought outside the game break the rules. It singles out comfort trades and purchased “mule” accounts as damaging to the in-game economy.
Both documents add two points: letting another person sign in to your account is a breach on its own, and the game’s currency is worth nothing in real money as far as EA is concerned. So the rule is not hidden and not ambiguous: a coin order is something EA does not allow. Whether to place one is your decision; this page is here so that you make it knowing the terms.
Consequences
The actions EA lists
EA’s help pages name these measures and add that any of them can be applied the first time, without a warning beforehand.
| Measure | What it means for the club |
|---|---|
| Coins removed | EA takes Ultimate Team coins out of the club’s balance |
| Transfer Market restricted | No buying or selling, in the Web and Companion Apps, in the game, or both |
| Removal from leaderboards | The club no longer appears in the rankings |
| Club deleted | The Ultimate Team club and everything in it is erased |
| Online ban | Temporary or permanent, for FC 27, for all FC titles, or for some or all EA games |
| Console suspension | Named by EA as a possible step, without further detail |
Degrees
A market block is not the same as a game ban
App-only block
One of the two block messages in the Web App says the market is closed in the apps for the current title while the in-game market still works.
Reach across platforms
EA notes that breaking FC rules can affect every platform and every game played with the same EA Account, not just the club involved.
Next season
What carries over to the next title
A Transfer Market ban from FC 26 did not follow accounts into FC 27. It did cost them the automatic early access to the market in the Web and Companion Apps, which then had to be earned again by playing. A ban at franchise level is different: it applies to the new game as well.
In your hands
What a buyer controls, and what not
Not in your hands
Whether EA reviews an account, and when. No shop can see that or rule it out, and a site that claims otherwise is selling comfort, not coins.
In your hands
Keeping the club closed while the seller is signed in, replacing the backup codes afterwards, and ordering only what you are prepared to lose along with the money.
If an order goes ahead and something fails on the delivery side, the refund window of the checkout is 21 days from payment. That covers the purchase; it does not cover what EA may do to the account. The order itself is described step by step under where to buy Ultimate Team coins, and today’s rates are listed under EA coins. The order form stays at the top of this page.
Checking
How to see where your account stands
EA keeps a page called My Penalty History in its help centre. Signed in with your EA Account, it lists restrictions and bans together with the game they apply to. Any restriction also arrives by e-mail at the address of the account. An appeal is filed through EA’s page on bans.
Questions
Rules and penalties, in short
Can EA take coins back after a purchase?
Yes. Removing Ultimate Team coins is one of the measures EA lists for breaking its rules on coin buying. EA lists it next to the Transfer Market restriction and does not say which is used when. Items already bought with the coins are a separate matter; EA’s pages mention deleting a whole club as a further, heavier step.
Is the first action always a warning?
No. EA’s help pages state that the listed measures can be applied as a first-time action. There is no promised ladder from warning to ban. An account with no history can receive a market restriction or a coin removal straight away. EA does not describe how it chooses between the measures, so the list is best read as a set of possibilities, not as steps taken in order.
Does a penalty on one platform touch my other clubs?
It can. EA writes that breaking the rules of FC can affect every platform and every game used with the same EA Account. A PlayStation club and a PC club under one account are therefore not sealed off from each other, even though their coins and markets are separate.
Can a restriction be appealed?
There is a route for it. The penalty appears under My Penalty History in EA’s help centre, and an appeal is submitted through EA’s page on bans and suspensions. EA does not publish how long a review takes or how often appeals succeed.
Does this site take the risk away?
It does not, and no seller can. What the checkout offers is a stated delivery window, a refund period for the payment and support you can write to. Decisions about your EA Account are made by EA alone. Weigh that against what the coins are worth to you before you order.
Made up your mind to order?
