What to do if PlayStation Denies Your Appeal
If PlayStation denies your appeal, you can try contacting their customer support again to ask for a review of your case or provide additional information that may support your claim, but be aware that permanent bans are usually final and cannot be overturned unless there are extenuating circumstances. In most cases, if your appeal is denied, you may need to create a new account or accept the ban and wait for the suspension period to end, depending on the type of ban you received, which could be a temporary suspension or a permanent ban.
