How to Get Unbanned Blocked Badoo Account 2025 Guide

One minute you’re chatting on Badoo; the next, you’re staring at a blocked screen with a vague line about “guidelines.” It feels sudden and unfair. 

You have two options: make a focused, one-time appeal, or, if that fails, rebuild your account in a way Badoo can’t link to your old profile.

Why Badoo Bans People

 Badoo blends user reports with automated checks on photos, text, behavior, and account risk. That catches obvious violations, and sometimes, misfires.

Typical triggers:

• Fake/borrowed photos, impersonation, or recycled profiles.
• Photos that break rules (nudity, sexualized shots, minors’ faces).
• Harassment, hate, threats, extortion, or spammy outreach.
• Multiple accounts for one person; account sharing; automation patterns (mass copy-paste, ultra-fast likes, rapid device/IP hopping).
• Malicious mass reports (e.g., revenge reporting), where moderation bans first and reviews later.

Are bans permanent? 

Usually, yes. There’s no countdown, no auto-unlock. Accounts return only if support decides it was a mistake. High-risk categories (e.g., sexual exploitation, threats, persistent harassment, under-18 suspicions) are never reinstated.

Paid users & refunds. 

Badoo’s stance is no refunds after a ban. You can still try your app store or card issuer, but set expectations low.

Your data. 

You lose access to chats/media in the app, but Badoo still retains your personal data for safety/legal reasons. You can submit a data access request (helpful to retrieve copies; it won’t unban you).

If you see an explicit “blocked/violated guidelines” message and you’re logged out, that’s a ban; login issues are common, too, but different.

If you just can’t sign in (spinning wheel, generic error), try: password reset, reinstall, a different network, or desktop login.

Appealing: The Official Way to Get Unbanned From Badoo

Appeal once, do it well, then wait. If your ban screen shows Appeal/Contact, use it. If not, go to badoo.com/feedback and write from the same email tied to your account.

Keep it short and calm (3 tight paragraphs):

1. Who you are + when it happened + a request for review.
2. What you think happened (or that you don’t know) and that you follow the rules.
3. A clear, polite ask to reinstate if it was a mistake.

Include only essentials (registered email, linked number, country/city, device type). Attach proof only if you have something concrete (e.g., a screenshot of someone threatening false reports).

Follow-up: If you hear nothing in 2-4 business days, send one polite follow-up @BadooHelp on X or their Facebook page. Many hear back in 1-3 business days. There are two possible outcomes:

• Reinstated after review; or
• Decision stands (ticket closed; no “second appeal”).

EU users: You can reference your right to dispute moderation decisions under the Digital Services Act (appeal within six months; optional out-of-court dispute body). It doesn’t guarantee reversal, but it formalizes your ask.

Don’t do this: lying, threats, legal ultimatums, spamming tickets, or daily bumps. It backfires.

Create a Fresh Badoo Account Ban Workaround

1. Your device:
It’s best to use a different phone that has never run your old Badoo. If that’s not an option, factory-reset and set up your current phone as new (no backup restore).

• On iPhone → brand-new Apple ID. 
• On Android → brand-new Google account.

2. Your phone number:
Create your new account with another SIM/number. “Free VoIP” is often blocked, so use a number from a safe source like DatingZest (it provides powerful, anonymous phone numbers used for Badoo phone verification).

3. Your email:
Your email address needs to be brand-new as well for privacy reasons; avoid recycled usernames/handles.

4. Your photos:
All of them have to be new. Don’t reuse anything from the banned profile; tiny crops/filters aren’t enough because Badoo may recognize you.

5. Your network for first signup

Use mobile data or a different trusted Wi-Fi for the initial register/login. Avoid obvious data-center VPNs. After your account stabilizes, home Wi-Fi is typically fine.

6. App/Browser
Fresh-install Badoo on the new device, or sign up in a new browser profile (private/incognito). Do not log into any old session anywhere.

7. External links & payments
Don’t connect the same Instagram/Spotify; avoid the same payment card if you later upgrade. Delay selfie/ID verification at first, as biometrics can link you.

8. Warm-up period
During the first week, swipe and message normally; no mass copy-paste; no rapid device/location hopping. Let risk signals cool.

What Does Badoo Remember About You

If you still want to use Badoo after a confirmed ban, your new account must not match the old account’s info. Badoo can connect identities via:

• Phone number and SIM history
• Device identifiers (hardware/OS IDs, device/vendor IDs), ad IDs (IDFA/GAID), push-token IDs
• Photos (hashing/visual similarity)
• Emails, usernames/handles, payment instruments
• IP/ASN patterns, geolocation, OS/app version metadata
• Apple ID / Google account (store receipts, login associations)
• Linked social accounts (Instagram/Spotify), Facebook/Google sign-in

Desktop vs. mobile trick: Some create the profile on desktop and only later install the app on their phones. This doesn’t replace the steps above; it just avoids leftover app data.

“Wait it out” myth: Waiting months and reusing the same details rarely works. Retention windows for ban signals are long, like Tinder’s 3-month rule. Success comes from a hard reset, not from time passing.

Note: Creating a new account after a ban may violate Badoo’s terms. If you proceed, change everything and keep the new profile spotless.

Badoo and Bumble Crossover: Real or Myth

Badoo and Bumble share an owner and anti-abuse signals. If your phone/identity is banned on one, the other can follow, even later. 

When appealing, mention the crossover and ask them to check both. If you rebuild, protect both using the same hard-reset rules. 

Other, unrelated apps aren’t automatically linked, but reusing a banned number/device is risky anywhere.

To minimize the chances of a ban crossover, attempt to get unbanned from Bumble first or use completely new information and phone number on your new Badoo account.

Keep Yourself From Getting Banned on Badoo Again

To avoid future bans, be on your best behavior and have a solid return. Once you’re back (via reinstatement or reset), make your profile easy to approve.

• Photos: ordinary, well-lit, no nudity/sexual framing, NO minors.
• Bio: simple; no links or commercial pitches.
• Messaging: human pace; avoid blasts or templates.
• Off-app moves: share contact info later, with trust; automated filters can flag early/constant info drops.
• Use Block/Report early on bad actors to avoid retaliatory reports.
• For a while: avoid Premium, social linking, and ID selfie until the account “warms up.”

Shadow-visibility (yes, similar to Hinge): Some users see dramatic drops in views after certain triggers (a soft “shadowban”). The fix is the same: clean photos/bio, human-like behavior, fresh images, and patience.
