Battle.net users may need help with a locked account, forgotten password, lost Authenticator, unauthorized charge, refund request, World of Warcraft subscription, game installation, linked console account, parental control, or unresolved support ticket. Blizzard primarily handles these issues through its online support system rather than through a publicly listed general customer-service telephone number.
Battle.net is Blizzard Entertainment’s account, game-launcher, digital-purchase, social, and online-services platform. Blizzard Entertainment is part of Activision Blizzard, which is owned by Microsoft. CustomerServiceNumbers.com is independent and cannot access Battle.net accounts, games, payments, characters, subscriptions, support tickets, or security records.
How to Contact Battle.net Customer Support
Phone-number warning: Blizzard does not currently publish one stable universal telephone number for Battle.net account recovery, billing, refunds, subscriptions, or technical support. Do not rely on a number found only in a search advertisement, pop-up, social-media reply, video description, forum post, or unofficial customer-service directory.
Email clarification: Blizzard does not publish one general email address for ordinary Battle.net support. Account, payment, and game problems should be submitted through Blizzard Support. The privacy email is for privacy matters and should not be used as a general refund or technical-support address.
Battle.net Customer Support Hours
Blizzard describes its online game, shop, and account support as available 24 hours a day. However, support options differ by issue and account status.
Depending on the problem, Blizzard may provide:
- A support article
- An automated self-service tool
- An online ticket
- Live chat when available
- A callback option when available and eligible
A 24/7 support website does not guarantee that a live representative, chat agent, or callback is available immediately.
Battle.net and Blizzard Corporate Address
Blizzard’s current corporate and privacy materials list:
Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.
One Blizzard Way
Irvine, CA 92618-3616
This is a corporate and legal address. It is not advertised as a public walk-in account-recovery office, refund department, technical-support desk, computer repair facility, game store, or location where players can speak with a Game Master in person.
Do not mail a computer, hard drive, Authenticator code, password, payment-card information, government identification document, or suspected malware to the corporate office.
Who Owns Battle.net?
Battle.net is a Blizzard Entertainment service rather than a separate independent company.

- Business group: Activision Blizzard
- Ultimate parent company: Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October 2023. Battle.net support, account management, game services, and Blizzard purchases continue to use Blizzard’s own support infrastructure.

Information to Gather Before Contacting Blizzard
Have the following information available when relevant:
- Battle.net account email
- BattleTag
- Region or country
- Affected game
- Order or transaction number
- Date and amount of the payment
- Payment method
- Character name, realm, and game license when relevant
- Exact error code
- Device and operating system
- Previous support ticket number
- Approximate date the account was created
- The resolution being requested
Blizzard may request additional information to confirm account ownership. Submit verification information only through an official Blizzard support form.
Do not post a license key, Authenticator restore code, security code, password, full payment details, government identification, or support-verification document publicly.
Battle.net Account Recovery
Use the “Can’t log in?” option on the Battle.net login or Blizzard Support page when:
- You forgot the password
- The account is locked
- You no longer have access to the email address
- The account email was changed
- You lost access to the registered telephone number
- You replaced or lost the Authenticator device
- The account may have been stolen
Forgotten Battle.net Password
- Open the official Battle.net login page.
- Select the option indicating that you cannot log in.
- Choose the password-reset option.
- Enter the account email or registered telephone information requested.
- Complete the verification process.
- Create a unique password that is not used on another website.
Resetting a password may remove many ordinary account locks, but it may not resolve an account suspension, banned game license, payment dispute, or compromised email account.
Forgotten or Changed Account Email
If the account email was changed without permission or cannot be remembered, use Blizzard’s email-recovery workflow. A registered telephone number may help identify the account.
If self-service recovery fails, submit an account-recovery request and provide only the ownership information requested through the official form.
Hacked or Compromised Battle.net Account
If a Battle.net account may have been compromised:
- Secure the associated email account first.
- Change the email password from a trusted device.
- Review email forwarding and recovery settings.
- Reset the Battle.net password.
- Review the registered telephone number and Authenticator.
- Check recent orders and payment methods.
- Submit a compromised-account request to Blizzard.
- Scan the computer for malware.
- Remove unfamiliar browser extensions and remote-access software.
- Add or restore the Battle.net Authenticator after recovery.
Do not pay anyone claiming that they can recover, unlock, or sell back a Battle.net account. Blizzard accounts, licenses, characters, and in-game items should be handled only through Blizzard’s official services.
Battle.net Authenticator and Phone Help
The Battle.net Authenticator is available through the Battle.net mobile app and adds an additional security step to account access.
Phone-related problems may include:
- Old or inaccessible telephone number
- Verification texts not arriving
- Telephone number already connected to another account
- Unsupported prepaid or internet-based number
- Incorrect account country or dialing code
- Lost Authenticator device
- Authenticator approval prompts not appearing
Use the account self-service tools to update an accessible number. If the account cannot be opened, use the recovery process rather than creating repeated tickets under unrelated categories.
Never give another person an Authenticator approval, SMS code, password-reset link, or recovery code.
Battle.net Account Security
To reduce the risk of account theft:
- Use a unique Battle.net password.
- Enable the Battle.net Authenticator.
- Enable Battle.net Phone Notifications.
- Protect the associated email account with multifactor authentication.
- Do not share an account.
- Do not buy gold, characters, accounts, boosting services, or items from unverified sellers.
- Do not log in through links sent in unexpected messages.
- Download the Battle.net app only from official Blizzard sources.
- Review account activity after receiving an unexpected security notice.
Blizzard employees should not ask for an account password or Authenticator code.
Unauthorized Battle.net or Blizzard Charges
Use Blizzard’s Unauthorized Charge workflow if a credit card, bank account, PayPal account, or other payment method shows an unfamiliar Blizzard transaction.
Before reporting the charge:
- Check the Battle.net order history.
- Review all Battle.net accounts in the household.
- Ask whether a child or family member made the purchase.
- Check for World of Warcraft renewals.
- Check gift purchases and preorders.
- Review PayPal, Apple, Google, console, and retailer receipts.
- Compare the date and amount with the bank’s pending and posted transactions.
If the transaction is recognizable but unwanted, request a refund through Blizzard before describing it as fraud.
If the transaction is truly unauthorized, secure the Battle.net and email accounts and contact the payment provider. A bank chargeback can affect the associated Battle.net account or game license, so use the correct Blizzard workflow when possible.
How to Request a Battle.net Refund
- Sign in to Blizzard Support.
- Search for “Request a Refund.”
- Select the affected game, service, or purchase.
- Choose the eligible order.
- Submit the automated refund review.
- Save the confirmation or ticket number.
Refund eligibility depends on the product, purchase date, usage, platform, account history, and applicable policy.
Blizzard’s published policy generally allows refunds for many qualifying real-money in-game items requested within 14 days when the item has not been claimed, opened, or used. Other products have different rules.
Refund abuse, repeated accidental-purchase claims, use of a product before requesting a refund, or a chargeback may affect eligibility.
Purchases Made Outside Battle.net
Contact the company that processed the payment when a purchase was made through:
- Apple App Store
- Google Play
- PlayStation Store
- Xbox Store
- Nintendo eShop
- Steam
- Amazon
- A physical or online retailer
- Another game publisher
Blizzard may be unable to refund a transaction collected by another platform.
World of Warcraft Subscription Cancellation
To cancel a World of Warcraft subscription:
- Sign in to Battle.net Account Management.
- Open Games & Subscriptions.
- Select the active World of Warcraft account.
- Locate the subscription-management option.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Complete the confirmation steps.
- Save the cancellation confirmation.
Canceling normally stops future recurring charges. Access may continue until the current paid game time expires.
World of Warcraft subscriptions are generally nonrefundable. A user who forgot to cancel may still use Blizzard’s refund-review feature to see whether an exception is available.
Deleting the Battle.net desktop app, uninstalling World of Warcraft, or stopping play does not cancel a recurring subscription.
Battle.net Balance Help
Battle.net Balance may be used for many eligible products in the Battle.net Shop, but important restrictions apply.
Battle.net Balance generally cannot be:
- Converted into cash
- Transferred to another Battle.net account
- Combined with another payment method for one purchase
- Used to pay for a recurring World of Warcraft subscription
- Used in the Blizzard Gear Store
- Used through console or mobile app stores
Battle.net Balance may be used to purchase eligible World of Warcraft game time, depending on region and account requirements.
Deleting a Battle.net account permanently forfeits remaining Battle.net Balance.
Battle.net Desktop App Troubleshooting
If the Battle.net desktop app will not install, update, connect, or launch:
- Check Blizzard Support for maintenance or service notices.
- Restart the computer.
- Restart the router or modem.
- Confirm that the operating system is supported and updated.
- Temporarily close conflicting background applications.
- Check firewall and security-software permissions.
- Run the Battle.net app with appropriate system permissions.
- Use Blizzard’s Battle.net App troubleshooting guide.
- Record the exact error code.
Download installers only from Battle.net or Blizzard. Fake launcher downloads may contain password-stealing malware.
Battle.net Game Download and Update Problems
For a game that is stuck downloading or updating:
- Check available storage.
- Check the selected installation folder.
- Pause and resume the download.
- Restart the Battle.net app.
- Check download bandwidth limits.
- Temporarily disable a VPN to test the connection.
- Check security-software permissions.
- Use Scan and Repair when available.
- Review the game’s current known-issues page.
Do not delete game data or reinstall the operating system until simpler troubleshooting has been completed and saved game or account data has been confirmed.
Game-Specific Support
Select the specific game in Blizzard Support for issues involving:
- World of Warcraft
- Diablo IV
- Diablo Immortal
- Diablo II: Resurrected
- Diablo III
- Overwatch
- Hearthstone
- Warcraft Rumble
- Warcraft strategy games
- StarCraft
- Heroes of the Storm
Blizzard account or payment support and in-game gameplay support may use different forms. A Game Master may be able to review eligible game records but cannot guarantee restoration of every lost item, character, rank, reward, or purchase.
Call of Duty Support
Call of Duty may use Battle.net for PC installation or purchasing, but many gameplay, enforcement, progression, linking, and Activision account matters are handled through Activision Support.
Identify whether the issue involves:
- The Battle.net account
- A Battle.net payment
- The Activision account
- Call of Duty gameplay or progression
- A console account
Linked Console, Steam and Activision Accounts
Battle.net accounts may be linked to other gaming accounts. Before unlinking anything:
- Confirm which Battle.net account is currently connected.
- Review platform-linking restrictions.
- Confirm where progress and purchases are stored.
- Review any cooldown before relinking.
- Do not create a new Battle.net account merely to test a link.
Unlinking the wrong account may affect access to cross-progression, rewards, characters, or purchases. Blizzard may not be able to transfer games, progress, Balance, or licenses between unrelated accounts.
Battle.net Parental Controls
Battle.net Parental Controls can manage features such as:
- Play-time limits
- Purchase restrictions
- Social and chat features
- Game access settings
Parents or guardians can update restrictions through the Parental Portal. Complete removal of Parental Controls may require contacting Blizzard through the official support process.
Do not publish the parent email address, child’s account details, birth date, or parental-control credentials in a public complaint.
Battle.net Suspensions, Bans and Appeals
If a Battle.net account or game license is suspended or closed:
- Read the enforcement email.
- Identify whether the action applies to the entire Battle.net account or one game.
- Review the applicable code of conduct and license terms.
- Use the official appeal process.
- Submit one clear appeal with relevant information.
- Do not create repeated tickets under unrelated categories.
Customer support does not guarantee that an account action will be overturned. Public forums and social-media comments are not substitutes for the official appeal process.
Reporting Harassment, Cheating or Abusive Content
Use the in-game or Battle.net reporting tools when available. Reports may include:
- Harassment
- Threats
- Spam
- Inappropriate names
- Cheating or botting
- Abusive chat
- Scam attempts
Do not organize public harassment against another player or publish that person’s private information. Blizzard generally does not disclose the exact disciplinary action taken against another account.
How to Delete a Battle.net Account
Battle.net account deletion is permanent and should not be used as a substitute for canceling a subscription or removing one game.
Deletion can cause permanent loss of:
- Personal account information
- Purchased games
- Game licenses
- In-game purchases and items
- Characters and progress
- Promotions and redeemed codes
- Support-ticket history
- Remaining Battle.net Balance
Blizzard states that deletion requests may take up to 30 days. After completion, the account and associated information cannot be restored.
Deleting a Battle.net account does not automatically delete a separately linked Activision account or all data maintained by another publisher or platform.
Battle.net Privacy Requests
For privacy questions, use Blizzard’s official privacy tools or email dataprivacy@blizzard.com.
A privacy request may involve:
- Access to eligible personal information
- Correction of inaccurate account details
- Deletion of eligible information
- Marketing preferences
- Other rights provided by applicable law
Cancel subscriptions and resolve open payments before deleting the account when possible. A privacy deletion request may permanently remove games and Balance rather than merely closing marketing communications.
Fake Battle.net Support and Refund Scams
Scammers impersonate Blizzard through fake telephone numbers, support websites, password-reset messages, emails, Discord accounts, social-media replies, and refund invoices.
Warning signs include:
- A request for a password or Authenticator code
- A demand to install remote-access software
- A request for gift cards, cryptocurrency, or payment-app transfers
- A promise to recover a banned or stolen account for a fee
- A fake refund that requires an advance payment
- A login page using an unfamiliar domain
- A telephone number found only in a sponsored search result
- A message asking to move support to Telegram, WhatsApp, or another private service
Open Blizzard Support directly rather than clicking an unexpected support link.
If You Gave a Fake Support Agent Account Access
- Disconnect any active remote-access session.
- Change the email password from a trusted device.
- Reset the Battle.net password.
- Review the Authenticator and telephone number.
- Remove unfamiliar remote-control software.
- Scan the computer using trusted security software.
- Review saved payment methods and recent orders.
- Contact the card issuer when payment information was exposed.
- Submit a compromised-account request to Blizzard.
How to Escalate a Battle.net Support Complaint
- Identify whether the issue involves Battle.net, a Blizzard game, Activision, a console platform, an app store, Steam, or another seller.
- Use the official issue-specific support category.
- Complete available self-service steps.
- Submit one clear ticket with the relevant details.
- Save the ticket number.
- Reply within the same ticket when additional information is requested.
- Do not open repeated duplicate tickets.
- Ask which company controls the payment, account, or game record.
- Request written confirmation of a refund, cancellation, or account change.
- Use the platform seller’s dispute process when it processed the transaction.
- Contact the payment provider for a truly unauthorized charge.
Submitting a complaint does not guarantee a refund, account recovery, restoration of characters or items, reversal of an account penalty, transfer of a license, recovery of Battle.net Balance, or compensation for unavailable game time.
