Welcome to PBBans, home of the PBBans Hub. We offer a multi-streaming option by using the our PBBans Hub. It features live banning, live banlist updates, live ban removals and more.

PBBans is a private community that works with game server administrators, players, and subject matter experts to pool their experience and information about cheaters. As cheats are caught through PunkBuster™ violations, screenshots or demos, they are added to our Master Ban Index (MBI). The MBI can then be filtered and downloaded to suit each registered game server admin.

Our goal is to educate server admin/players and stop online cheaters in their tracks. PunkBuster™ is a self-updating Anti-Cheat software system developed by EvenBalance Inc. PBBans is not supported, affiliated or endorsed by EvenBalance / PunkBuster.

PBBans is constantly breaking new grounds in the anti-cheat community. We have developed a user-friendly and trustworthy ban index and will never place a ban on the MBI without proof from confirmed server administrators. The proof is indexed and stored at PBBans for future reference. Using our Master Player Index (MPI) you can look up any player and see a cross index of Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs), Aliases, IP Addresses and bans as well as proof of any ban.

PBBans asks the server administrators, to put in a small amount of effort by setting your server up to stream to PBBans, submitting bans and sharing your experiences. In return, we will give you access to the MBI, MPI, special tools developed by PBBans and our growing userbase of server admins. Click on our forums to read all about the system and provide us with some suggestions and feedback. You are also welcome to talk live with us and idle in our IRC channel at (irc.quakenet.org #pbbans or irc.us.gamesurge.net #pbbans) Click Here.

If you have come here because you were kicked by PunkBuster™ and were subsequently banned from a server, you could visit us in our IRC channel at (irc.quakenet.org #pbbans or irc.us.gamesurge.net #pbbans) Click Here or post your questions/concerns in our forum.
