Yes, you can appeal a Tinder ban.
Sending a ban appeal to Tinder is actually one of the most effective ways to get around a Tinder ban.
Your Tinder account has been banned, and you want to find the right and free ways to get back into the app. Rightfully so!
There’s a large amount of advice on how to get unbanned from Tinder, yet none tends to focus on one of the most essential parts of it: a Tinder ban appeal.
Well, the good news is that not only you can make a ban appeal on Tinder, but you also have options to do so!
Here’s how you get your account unbanned by sending a ban appeal to Tinder!
1. Sending a ban appeal by a request through Tinder’s support system.
The first option you have when it comes to sending a ban appeal to Tinder is reaching out to Tinder through its support system.
Tinder has a site specifically for such issues and it’s called help.tinder.com!
However, the specific part of the site you want to get to is Submit a Request.
That brings us to the beginning of the guide on how to appeal a Tinder ban!
Here are four simple steps on how to appeal a Tinder ban!
– Step one: go to Tinder’s support site.
It’ll look like this:

– Step two: select trouble logging in.
In the section where it says ‘What can we help with?’ you have to select Trouble Logging In. Here:

– Step three: select ‘can’t log in my account was banned’.
After selecting ‘trouble logging in’ you’ll have to choose another option to get more specific with your request.
This is the time you select ‘can’t log in, my account was banned’. Here:

– Step four: fill in the required information.

And finally, step four! This is where you’ll have to fill in the required information to submit the ban appeal to Tinder.
- Enter your email address (mandatory). You must enter the email you used on your banned account.
- Enter your phone number (mandatory). Not just any phone number, though. It’s mandatory that you enter the phone number you used on Tinder.
- Description. This is where you must make it clear to Tinder that it was never your intention to disturb any user.
Make sure you take responsibility if you violate any of the Tinder community guidelines, and make it clear that you won’t repeat it.
- You can add a screenshot of your banned account if you have one.
- Once you’ve completed all the steps, press submit.
Make sure that your information is correct, and that you maintain a calm and respectful approach to your description.
Whether your account was banned for a reason or no reason you want to keep it polite.
Here are three examples of how you can write the description when submitting a ban appeal on Tinder in 2023!
After carefully reading the community guidelines, I’ve realized that I’ve accidentally violated one of them. My intention is not, and never was, to disturb, harm, or violate any of Tinder users or Tinder community guidelines. I’d appreciate it if I’d get my account back if possible. I’ll be cautious and mindful and make sure that I don’t violate the community guidelines again. Thank you! |
My Tinder account was banned after a few days of using it. I understand I may have unintentionally violated the community guidelines, however, my only intention is to use the app responsibly and form connections with people. I do not intend, in any form, to violate Tinder’s community guidelines or its users’ boundaries. I’d highly appreciate it if I’d get my account back and get back to swiping. Thank you! |
I don’t believe I have violated any of Tinder’s community guidelines since I use the app responsibly. Hence, I’d appreciate it if you’d review my profile once again, and give me another shot at the app. Thank you! |
2. Make a Tinder ban appeal by sending an email directly to Tinder.
Part of the Tinder ban appeal process is another method besides reaching out to Tinder support through their site.
Yes, you can email Tinder to get unbanned, and yes, it’s proven to be effective.
You can send a Tinder appeal for your banned account directly through email at help@gotinder.com or questions@gotinder.com.
These emails are available to everyone, hence emailing Tinder about your banned account can be the second best option in this case.
Here’s how you appeal a Tinder ban through email to get unbanned!
– Get your email ready to contact Tinder directly at help@gotinder.com or questions@gotinder.com.

This is the way you directly contact Tinder with no need to go to their support site.
This can be your second option if you sense that your request to Tinder was overlooked.
So, first things first, get ready and prep your email!
You can choose either email from Tinder. If you’re feeling bold, you can send the same email to both emails—help@gotinder.com and questions@gotinder.com.
– Step two: Write ‘Ban Appeal’ as the email’s subject.

This is important because Tinder might not consider your email if you don’t write a subject.
You want it to be clear, short, and telling. You’re making a ban appeal, hence the subject of your email must imply so!
That brings us to the final step!
– Step three: Write the ban appeal and hit send when you’re ready!
While writing your ban appeal, you want to take into consideration several things such as respect and politeness.
If you’re rude and blame Tinder incorrectly, your concerns won’t be considered. So,
- Politely explain why you think the Tinder ban was a mistake,
- Express gratitude–use phrases such as ‘thank you’,
- Don’t forget to attach your information such as email and phone number,
- Make sure that you attach a screenshot of the ban,
- Read the email carefully before you press send.
If you’re still unsure about how this goes, I’ve got some examples for you!
Hello,I’ve recently found out that my Tinder account has been banned. I do understand and respect your terms of use, and community guidelines. With all due respect, I don’t think I broke any of the terms or guidelines. If I did I’d like to apologize, and I’d like to let you know that I wasn’t aware of doing so. I do enjoy my time on your app, and I’d appreciate it a lot if you’d consider this letter and remove my ban. Here are my details:[phone number associated with your account][email you associated with your account] Thank you for your consideration,[name][a screenshot of the ban] |

If you want to increase your chances of getting unbanned from Tinder by this ban appeal, then provide any specific information that relates to your account.
Provide Tinder with information that’s relevant to your profile.
After writing your email, stating your concerns, and expressing your gratitude, proofread your email, and, when you’re ready, press send.
Give it some time. Don’t expect an immediate response.
Tinder support is known to typically respond after 3-4 days, hence if you don’t hear from them after that period, you can send a follow-up email.
Keep it polite and professional. That’s how I did it!
3. File a complaint at BBB Tinder.
This is the final resort.
If nothing else works out, and you’re super sure that you didn’t violate any of Tinder’s community guidelines, you’ve got to file a complaint at BBB.
To make this clearer, BBB stands for Better Business Bureau. This is an organization that aims to make the consumers’ experience safer and better.
Filing a complaint about Tinder to this site has seemed to work for a lot of people, and that’s been known on forums such as this one.
Now, don’t get scared, it’s not as complicated as it sounds! Here are the simplified steps!
– Step one: Go to BBB Tinder.

Now, each business has its own ‘profile’ in BBB. That can allow the consumers and customers to easily review the products they’re consuming.
Tinder is a product as well. You used it, you think it’s unfair that you’ve been banned, and now it’s time to file a complaint!
– Step two: Click ‘File a Complaint’.

This is the important step of this process. On Tinder’s page at BBB, you’ll scroll down, and find the ‘Customer Complaints’ section.
You’ll see a link on ‘File a Complaint’ under that section. Click on that.
– Step three: Submit the complaint.
Once you click ‘File a Complaint’, you’ll be viewing a page that requires you to fill in a form. It will look like this:

Once you answer the required questions, you’ll have to tap/click ‘Continue’ which you’ll find at the bottom of the questionnaire.

Next up, you’ll see the third form, which helps you navigate the complaint. Here’s what you’ll see:

You’ll click/tap continue since your complaint will be related to an experience with Tinder!
After that, you’ll have to fill in some information about yourself, and, finally, you’ll get to write the complaint! Here are the steps you’ll follow:

You don’t have to fill in the information that says ‘optional’. Make sure that the information you put in is correct, otherwise, your complaint won’t be effective.
