VacBanned

Check if a SteamID is VAC banned or not!

When you get VAC banned, not all the games in your Steam Account get banned, you usually get VAC banned from the game you cheated in, but there are a few exceptions.

If you cheat in any HL1 engine game, you will get banned from all games of the HL1 engine:

Counter-Strike 1.6
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero
Day of Defeat

Since VAC2 (2005), all VAC bans are permanent. Before, with VAC1, there used to be 5-year bans and 1-year bans. Some people have been unbanned recently because they had 5-year VAC1 bans, and we got them in our database because their VAC status was checked by our site before their unban. Those who have been recently unbanned can be found in the VAC unbanned list.

There are other reasons why some people might be unbanned:

It is a Cybercafe account which was VAC banned and then unbanned because the Cybercafe owner requested it
It is a testing account of the VAC developers
It was a VAC false positive and Valve recognized it. Examples: #1#2
The account has been hijacked and Steam support removed the ban (rare case)
Some Steam accounts have been deleted because they had no games and no one logged into them in a long time.
But, you might ask, why are they VAC banned if they had no games? That’s because they had a game using VAC with Guest passes, free weekends, etc.
