Websites offer to sell you Ultimate Team™ Coins for EA SPORTS FC 27 (sometimes searched for as "FIFA 27"), or a friend wants to send you Coins through the Transfer Market? Under EA's rules, both practices are forbidden and can lead to penalties up to deletion of your Club or a ban. This guide explains what EA considers a violation, the risks for your account, the authorised ways to get Coins and FC Points, and what to do if you've already given your login details to a seller.
The rules quoted come from EA's Help articles shared across EA SPORTS FC, checked on 27 October 2026.
Problem
- You're thinking of buying Coins from a website or third-party seller.
- Someone close to you offers to transfer Coins by buying or selling a Player at an arranged price.
- A seller asked for your login details.
- Your account received a restriction after a Coin exchange.
What EA considers a violation
According to EA, Ultimate Team™ Coins can't be bought: you earn them by playing and selling items on the Transfer Market. Breaking the rules includes:
| Practice | What EA says |
|---|---|
| Buying Coins from a third party | Forbidden, as is promoting Coin buying or selling |
| Sending Coins to another player, even a friend | A forbidden form of "Coin distribution" |
| Buying or selling an item well above or below its average price to transfer Coins | Forbidden |
| Giving away Coins in exchange for promotions or favours outside the game | Forbidden |
| Using multiple accounts to funnel Coins and items into one | Forbidden |
| Bots, auto-buyers, transactions outside the game and official apps | Forbidden |
Possible penalties
EA states it may take any or all of the following actions:
- remove your account from the Leaderboards;
- remove your Ultimate Team™ Coins or delete your Ultimate Team™ Club;
- temporarily or permanently ban your account from FC online play (Ultimate Team™, Clubs and every mode connected to the servers);
- ban your account from the current game, from all FC games, or from some or all EA games;
- suspend your console from FC online modes for a period of time;
- restrict your access to the Transfer Market, including in the Companion App.
EA highlights another risk: Coin sellers often ask for your login details, which can lead to stolen Coins, items or your entire account. Sharing your account information is itself against the rules.
What to do depending on your situation
Suggested solution
You gave your login details to a seller
- Follow EA's procedure to secure a hacked account without delay: reset your EA password, the password of the email address on the account and, on console, the password of your PlayStation Network, Xbox or Nintendo account.
- Turn on two-factor authentication.
- Never share your login details again, even with a "service" promising Coins.
Expected result: the third party's access to your account is cut off.
Suggested solution
Your account received a restriction
See the guide Feature blocked by a restriction in EA SPORTS FC 27: check and appeal: it explains how to read your penalty history and dispute a decision.
EA states that making a false claim to its Advisors is also against the rules: describe events as they happened.
