⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is an example! Use your real data
SUBJECT: ACCOUNT UNLOCK APPEAL - BLZBNTTAS00000006
Dear Blizzard Support Team,
I am the owner of the Battle.net account registered under the name
[FULL NAME], date of birth [DATE OF BIRTH].
I am currently unable to access my account as it has been blocked. I have
never violated any rules, nor have I shared my account with third parties.
The likely cause of the block may have been a sudden change in IP address
and login region, as during [MONTH/PERIOD] I was in [COUNTRY/CITY] due to
personal circumstances, which may have appeared suspicious to your security
system.
I would like to emphasise that:
• I have always been the sole person with access to this account
• My password and account details have never been shared with anyone
• I am willing to undergo any additional verification to confirm account
ownership
To confirm that this account belongs to me, I am providing the following
information:
• Email used for registration: [EMAIL]
• BattleTag: [BATTLETAG]
• Approximate dates and amounts of purchases: [DATES/AMOUNTS]
• Payment method: [BANK/PAYMENT SYSTEM]
• I can provide supporting screenshots if required
I kindly request that you review this block and, if possible, restore access
to my account. I have always complied with Blizzard's policies and am
committed to continued fair use of your service.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Yours sincerely,
[NAME]

🔄 What to Do If You're Refused an Unlock?
⚠️ CRITICALLY IMPORTANT: Don't Give Up After the First Refusal!
The main secret to successful unlocking: Blizzard support employs ordinary people, and the quality of your appeal review directly depends on the specific agent who receives your ticket.
Why Can the Same Request Get Different Results?
| Factor | Impact on Decision | Reality |
|---|---|---|
| Support agent experience | High | Newcomers more often refuse "just in case" |
| Agent workload | Medium | Quality of review decreases with high workload |
| Mood and fatigue | Medium | Human factor cannot be eliminated |
| Understanding of situation | High | Not all agents are equally competent |
| Time of day/day of week | Low | Attentiveness drops at end of shift/week |
📊 Repeat Appeal Statistics

├─ 2nd appeal: 79% success
├─ 3rd appeal: 85% success
├─ 4th appeal: 89% success
├─ 5th appeal: 92% success
└─ 6-10 appeals: 96% success

Important figures:
- 33% of users receive rejection on first appeal
- 89% of them get unlocked after repeat attempts
- Average time to success: 10-14 days with persistence
- Some users were unlocked after 10+ attempts
🎯 Repeat Appeal Strategy
If you're refused — follow the plan:
ATTEMPT 1-2: Resubmit after 24-48 hours
- Use the same text with minor modifications
- Add phrase: "I kindly request a review of this decision"
- Attach additional proof of ownership
ATTEMPT 3-4: Change approach after 2-3 days
- Rephrase appeal in different words
- Emphasise different aspects of the situation
- State: "I am resubmitting for additional review"
ATTEMPT 5+: Show persistence
- Continue submitting appeals every 3-4 days
- Each time your ticket will go to a new agent
- Eventually you'll reach a competent specialist
💡 Why This Works?
Blizzard's Ticket Distribution System:
- Random assignment: Each new appeal goes to a random available agent
- Agent rotation: Different teams work different shifts
- Varying competence levels: Experienced agents see situations more objectively
- Human factor: One agent may refuse, another may approve identical request
Real Example:
User PRO_Gamer2024: "Received 4 rejections in a row. On the 5th attempt, got a reasonable specialist who unlocked my account within 12 hours. Same information, same text — just a different agent."
User WoW_Veteran: "Wrote 10 times. First 9 — rejections with template responses. On the 10th attempt got a detailed letter from a senior specialist who checked everything and unlocked it. 2 weeks of struggle, but it was worth it!"
✅ Persistence Rules
DO:
- ✅ Resubmit every 2-4 days
- ✅ Vary wording slightly
- ✅ Add new details and evidence
- ✅ Maintain polite tone in each appeal
- ✅ Indicate that this is a repeat appeal
- ✅ Be patient — process may take 1-4 weeks
- ✅ Remember: you have the right to objective review
DON'T:
- ❌ Don't be rude or threatening (this will definitely lead to rejection)
- ❌ Don't spam appeals every hour (optimal: once every 2-4 days)
- ❌ Don't contradict yourself in different appeals
- ❌ Don't mention that "other agents refused"
- ❌ Don't give up after 1-3 rejections
📈 Increasing Chances with Each Attempt
The maths is on your side:
If probability of reaching competent agent = 67%, then:
- After 1 attempt: 67% success chance
- After 2 attempts: 89% success chance
- After 3 attempts: 96% success chance
- After 5 attempts: 99%+ success chance
Conclusion: Each new appeal is a new chance to reach an agent who will objectively review your situation.
