We’ve all been there: you queue up for a friendly Brawl Stars match, excited to test your new brawler or climb the trophy ladder, only to run into a player ruining the fun for everyone. Whether they’re spamming hate speech in the chat, intentionally throwing the game to troll teammates, or using obvious hacks to one-shot every opponent, bad actors can turn a casual gaming session into a frustrating mess. Knowing how to report players in Brawl Stars is the easiest way to help keep the community safe and ensure every match feels fair for all participants.
Common Scenarios That Warrant a Player Report in Brawl Stars
It’s important to only submit reports for behavior that actually violates Supercell’s terms of service, because false reports waste the moderation team’s time and can even lead to restrictions on your own account if you submit too many. Valid reportable offenses include the following:
Bad play alone is not a reason to report someone. If a new player is still learning their brawler’s abilities and makes a mistake that costs you the match, that’s a normal part of the learning curve, not a reportable violation. You should only reach for the report button when someone is actively breaking the rules to harm other players’ experience.
Step-by-Step: How to Report Players in Brawl Stars After a Match
Supercell has made the reporting process pretty straightforward, so you don’t have to navigate a dozen hidden menus to submit a report right after a match ends. The entire process takes less than a minute if you follow these simple steps.
First, after the match ends, you’ll land on the end-of-game score screen that shows every player’s stats, trophies won or lost, and brawler used. Tap on the name of the player you want to report to pull up their player profile card. Don’t worry if you already left the score screen; you can also find recent players in your friends list under the “Recent” tab, or search for their username directly if you remember it.
On their profile card, you’ll see a small menu icon (three dots) in the top right corner of the screen. Tap that icon, and you’ll see a list of options, including “Report Player”. Select that option, and you’ll be taken to a short form to fill out the details of your report. Once you submit the form, your report is sent directly to Supercell’s moderation team for review.
You can also report players during a match if their behavior is particularly severe, like spamming hate speech in real time. To do this, tap the chat box, then hold down on the offensive message until a report option pops up. That lets you flag the message directly, which gives the moderation team even more context for their review.
What Information to Include in Your Report for Faster Review
Thousands of reports come in to Supercell every day, so reports that include clear, specific details are prioritized and resolved much faster than vague complaints. You don’t need to write a novel, but adding a few key details will make it far more likely that the moderation team takes appropriate action.
First, make sure you select the correct violation type from the dropdown menu on the report form. If you’re reporting a player for cheating, select “Cheating” instead of “Toxic Chat”, so your report goes to the right part of the moderation team. Include a short, specific description of the behavior you witnessed, like “Used aimbot to hit every shot from across the map in Brawl Ball” instead of “they are cheating”. That gives the team clear context to check the match replay if needed.
If the behavior happened in chat, you don’t need to copy the message yourself if you reported it directly from the chat window, as Supercell automatically logs the full chat history of every match. For in-game behavior like throwing or cheating, you can note the mode you were playing and the approximate time of the match if you’re reporting long after it ended, to help the team find the replay faster.
Avoid adding personal attacks or unrelated details in your report description. Comments like “this player is garbage and I hate them” don’t help the moderation team, and may even lead to your report being marked as invalid. Stick to the facts, and you’ll have a much higher chance of seeing a positive outcome.
What Happens After You Submit a Brawl Stars Player Report
Many players assume their reports go into a black hole, but Supercell actually reviews every valid report submitted by users. The moderation team uses a mix of automated tools and human reviewers to check reports, so response times vary depending on the severity of the violation and the volume of reports they’re processing that day.
For minor offenses like minor spam or a first incident of toxic chat, the player will usually get a warning before any further action is taken. More severe offenses, like repeated harassment, sharing illegal content, or using hacks, can lead to temporary bans from chat, temporary account suspensions, or even permanent account bans for repeat offenders.
You won’t usually get a personal update about the outcome of your report, for privacy reasons. But Supercell does track how many valid reports each user submits, so if you consistently submit accurate, helpful reports, you can trust that you’re making a real difference in the community. If you submit false reports repeatedly, you may face restrictions on your ability to submit reports in the future, so it’s always best to only use the tool when you have a valid reason.
That said, if you see a player repeatedly breaking the rules across multiple matches, you can submit multiple reports for their behavior, as long as each report is tied to a specific incident. Multiple reports from different players for the same behavior will also be prioritized by the moderation team, so you don’t have to worry about reporting someone that’s already been flagged by others.
At the end of the day, Brawl Stars is meant to be a fun, casual game you can play with friends or strangers to pass the time. Bad actors are a small minority of the player base, but their actions can ruin the experience for dozens of other players if no one speaks up. Taking 30 seconds to submit a report when you see someone breaking the rules is a small action that adds up to a better, more fair community for everyone. Now that you know how to report players in Brawl Stars, you can help do your part to keep your matches fun, respectful, and fair for every participant.
