VAC bans
Valve Anti-Cheat detected cheat software on the account. Permanent, non-appealable, and tied to the account forever — the strongest cheating signal there is.
Game bans
Issued by a game's own systems (including Overwatch convictions) rather than VAC. For cheating in CS2, also permanent and shown right next to VAC bans on the profile.
Trade & community bans
Economy (trade) bans and Steam community bans. Not cheating bans, but they signal an account that's been in trouble with Valve before.
VAC BAN FAQ
How do I check if a Steam account has a VAC ban?
Paste the player's Steam profile URL, vanity name, or SteamID64 into the checker above. CSWatch instantly reads Valve's public ban data and shows any VAC bans, game bans, or trade bans, plus how many days ago the most recent ban landed.
Is the VAC ban checker free?
Yes — checking VAC, game, and trade bans is completely free and needs no login. Ban data is public, so it works even on private Steam profiles.
Can I see when the VAC ban happened?
Steam exposes 'days since last ban' rather than an exact date, so the checker shows how long ago the most recent ban occurred. A recent ban is a stronger signal than one from years ago.
Does a VAC ban show on a private profile?
Yes. VAC, game, and trade bans are part of Steam's public ban data and are visible even when the profile itself is set to private.
The account has no VAC ban but seems to be cheating — what now?
VAC is slow — Valve often takes weeks or months to ban a detected cheater, and private cheats can dodge it entirely. Check the player's full reputation dossier for account and behavioral signals, or report them with a demo so the community can review the evidence.
