I haven't played cs:go in like around 100 days, but I got vac banned 59days ago. I just logged in to get my trade url and saw the ban. And no one has this account, so idk how I could cheat without even playing the game.

Bans are delayed, sometimes months. You never get banned the day you cheat.

1 VAC ban on record | Info
59 day(s) since last ban

You last played on May 24th, that's 62 days ago and the VAC ban is 59 days ago.

Please read this important information below.

A VAC ban always has a very specific reason: Cheats.
Exactly those were detected on a system that was in use by this account directly or indirectly and VAC banned the account permanently.

All VAC bans come from the detection of a known cheat, whether it is used on the account itself or some sort of sharing has occurred (account, library, or phone number).

It doesn't matter when the ban was issued.
VAC bans are delayed from the time of the detection to the time that the ban is actually applied.

What you were doing when the ban was applied, is irrelevant.

This information -the what and the when- will not be shared. It would only help cheaters and cheat developers.

It doesn't matter who was using the account to cheat.
You are responsible for the confidentiality of your credentials, the security of your computer hardware and software used to play games on Steam and the actions of your account that may or may not result from your negligience.

As such, regardless of who was using the account at the time of the infraction, VAC bans are permanent and will not be removed.

VAC bans are applied to all accounts sharing a phone number at the time of the infraction. Accounts sharing the phone number that do not own the game the VAC ban is for will still receive a VAC ban and will not be able to purchase the game moving forward.

Family Sharing privileges may be revoked and your account may also be VAC banned if your library is used by others to cheat. Additionally, VAC-banned games cannot be shared between accounts.

It doesn't matter how much you paid for your skins or items.
VAC treats all users equally. Bans are non-negotiable.

Items and games cannot be moved from a VAC banned account to a different account, however, new games can still be purchased and registered on a VAC banned account and the account can still receive items, but not send them.

If item transfer was possible, VAC bans wouldn't have any consequential effect.

Denial is futile.
Cheats are detected by their files and processes accessing the game's code and files.

It doesn't need demos, videos, screenshots or similar to prove that the account cheated. The evidence was in the files and running processes of the infringing computer.

If it wasn't you, it was someone else using your account. Or the computer you used had cheats installed.

However, you are still responsible for your account and all its actions.

Appealing is futile.
VAC bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be removed by Steam Support and also cannot be removed by anyone on this forum.

Therefore, trying to appeal on this forum is useless. Please refrain from asking to be unbanned in this thread and future threads.

VAC Bans are delayed, nothing strange about that.

Ban are issued two month ago. With some delays. And that make last time played in May very legit to me. Where you find those 100 days? Even without delay it exactly 60 days ago.

If you really didn't cheat... just kindly ask the admins of the website you're proudly advertising within your profile pic, they "might" know what happened.
