The Free Fire community has been rocked by one of the most dramatic developments in its history.
Raistar — widely hailed as one of the greatest Free Fire players to emerge from India — has reportedly had his primary Free Fire account permanently banned by Garena.
The move has stunned millions of fans and reignited debates over competitive integrity, the role of anti-cheat systems, and how game publishers enforce their rules.
This report draws on verified data available through HL Gaming Official’s Free Fire Tracker and Garena’s publicly available Zero-Tolerance Policy.
Garena has not yet issued a player-specific explanation for this case.
The details presented here reflect information currently observable to the public.
Raistar: The Face of an Era
When Free Fire began to rise in South Asia between 2017 and 2019, a new generation of creators used montage-style clips to showcase not just gameplay but also style and identity.
Among them, Raistar stood out for his extraordinary precision and reflexes.
Fans often referred to him as the “one-tap king” for his ability to land accurate headshots with near-instant reactions.

Content Style: Fast-paced montages, minimal commentary, often featuring his distinctive gameplay clips
Raistar’s rise coincided with Free Fire’s boom in South Asia and helped to create a massive online audience.
For many younger players, his videos were their first introduction to what high-level Free Fire gameplay could look like.
The Comeback That Never Fully Happened
After a period of relative inactivity on YouTube and in competitive play, Raistar’s surprise return video in 2025 — titled “I’m Back to Rule” — was seen as a signal that he intended to reclaim his place as a top-tier creator and competitor.
Fans hoped for more live streams, tutorials, or new montage highlights.
However, the comeback never quite materialized.
The reported lifetime ban on his Free Fire account has now dashed those hopes and raised questions about what was happening behind the scenes during that comeback period.
Detailed Account Profile Prior to the Reported Ban
Information collected from HL Gaming Official’s Free Fire Tracker, which draws data from Garena’s official APIs, provided the following snapshot of Raistar’s primary account — known in-game as “ㅤHacrrr” — shortly before the reported ban:
| Field | Data Observed |
|---|---|
| In-Game Name | ㅤHacrrr |
| UID | #12022250 |
| Region | India |
| Account Level | 76 |
| Total Likes | 1,104,048 |
| BR Ranking Points | 1,545 |
| Total EXP | 4,935,442 |
| Account Creation Date | December 6, 2017 |
| Last Recorded Login | September 27, 2025 – 10:24 AM |
| Guild | RAIㅤBR0THERS (Clan ID #61575940) |
| Guild Level | 6 |
| Clan Membership | 55 / 55 players |
These statistics underline how deeply rooted Raistar was in Free Fire’s competitive ecosystem.
An account created in 2017, with millions of likes and years of ranked history, represents not just an individual profile but a part of the game’s early competitive culture.
Garena’s Zero-Tolerance Policy on Cheating
In April 2025, Garena released an official policy statement reiterating its zero-tolerance approach to cheating.
The statement emphasized that:
“Any account found to be using unauthorized third-party software or tools to gain unfair advantage will face permanent suspension.
We do not differentiate between casual players, professional competitors, or popular creators.”
Key elements of this policy include:
-
Automated Detection: Garena’s anti-cheat tools continuously monitor gameplay for the presence of third-party scripts, modified clients, or exploits.
-
Permanent Enforcement: Once a violation is verified, the account is permanently suspended. There is no gradual penalty system for confirmed cheating.
-
Equal Application: Public figures, esports athletes, and regular players are all subject to the same rules.
This strict policy is intended to protect the fairness and integrity of Free Fire’s competitive environment.
The Core Question: Why Was Raistar’s Account Banned?
To date, Garena has not released a case-specific explanation for Raistar’s ban.
Historically, lifetime bans in Free Fire occur almost exclusively in cases where the system has flagged the use of unauthorized external tools or other severe rule violations.
The uncomfortable reality — which many in the community now acknowledge — is that such bans are rarely issued in error.
While there is no publicly available proof of misconduct, the community is being forced to confront the likelihood that Raistar’s account was found in breach of the anti-cheat policy.
HL Gaming Official emphasizes that there is no justification for harassment or hate toward Raistar as a person.
At the same time, the facts suggest that Garena’s decision reflects its standing policy rather than personal bias.
The Debate Over Consistency: The Case of DMT Fareeha
Not all players see the enforcement of these rules as consistent.
A frequent point of discussion is the case of DMT Fareeha, a top-ranked Pakistani Free Fire player who was once reportedly banned but later had the account reinstated.
(Read the archived HL Gaming Official profile here.)
Community members have posed several questions:
-
Why was Raistar’s account banned for life while DMT Fareeha’s ban was reversed?
-
Does Garena allow appeals or reviews for certain cases?
-
Have the criteria for unbanning changed over time, or were the cases fundamentally different?
Garena has not clarified these points publicly, leaving room for speculation and calls for greater transparency.
Reaction Across the Community
The news has triggered intense discussion in multiple spaces — YouTube comment sections, esports forums, Discord groups, and social media platforms.
Common themes in the reaction include:
-
Shock and Disbelief: For many long-time fans, the idea that Raistar’s legendary account could be lost is hard to accept.
-
Sympathy and Respect: Players and creators alike have expressed respect for his contributions to Free Fire’s growth.
-
Concern for Fairness: Some competitive players urge Garena to provide clearer communication and possibly an appeal process to maintain trust in the system.
-
Speculation vs Evidence: Without an official explanation, theories about the cause of the ban continue to circulate — sometimes inaccurately.
A Legacy That Cannot Be Erased
Regardless of the current ban status, Raistar’s influence on Free Fire is undeniable.
He played a pivotal role in popularizing competitive play and introducing montage-style content to a massive audience.
Many current esports athletes and streamers cite Raistar as one of the creators who inspired them to start.
Even if his account remains banned, that historical contribution cannot be taken away.
Fans often emphasize that his skill, personality, and early contributions shaped Free Fire’s identity during a formative era.
Lessons for the Competitive Scene
This incident is also being treated as a cautionary tale for the broader esports community:
-
Adherence to Rules: No player, no matter how popular, is beyond the reach of the game’s integrity measures.
-
Trust in Anti-Cheat Systems: Automated systems can have far-reaching consequences, making it essential for players to keep their setups clean and compliant.
-
Need for Transparency: As esports matures, consistent and transparent communication about bans is increasingly vital for maintaining trust.
The Road Ahead
As of now, neither Raistar nor Garena has released an official comment explaining the precise cause of the ban or indicating whether any form of appeal is possible.
The lack of a statement has left the community waiting for clarity.
HL Gaming Official will continue to follow developments closely and provide updates as soon as either party issues an explanation.
Closing Thoughts
The reported lifetime ban of Raistar’s account represents a watershed moment for Free Fire.
It highlights both the firmness of Garena’s zero-tolerance policy and the emotional complexity of seeing a beloved figure penalized.
For many, this incident serves as a reminder that competitive integrity comes first — but it also underscores the need for empathy and fairness toward the individuals behind the accounts.
Whatever the final outcome, Raistar’s name will remain a defining chapter in the history of Free Fire.
