Dear Steam colleagues and forum members,

I recently received a VAC ban on my account, but I believe this was applied incorrectly.

The situation:

I created a Steam account for my younger brother long time ago. In order to set up his account, a phone number was required, so I used my own number. Later, my brother and his friends cheated in a game on his account, and his account was VAC banned.

Because my phone number was linked to both accounts, my personal account also received a VAC ban.

This happened nearly 5 years ago, and it has been a constant concern for me ever since. I want to emphasize that I have never used cheats or violated the rules on my own account. For all these years, I have only played fairly, and I believe it is unfair that I am still affected by another person’s actions.

I kindly ask you to review my case as I believe I was wrongly punished.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Best regards,
FenDer

Can I appeal my VAC ban?
No. VAC bans cannot be appealed. If a VAC ban is issued incorrectly it will be automatically removed after investigation, but Steam Support does not manually remove VAC bans applied to accounts for any reason.

I was not using my account when it was VAC banned. Can the ban be removed?
No. Any bans added to an account will remain regardless of who was using the account at the time the infraction occurred. Ultimately, the use and security of your Steam account are your responsibility.

While we understand this can be frustrating, we must maintain a zero tolerance policy for cheating to foster a fair game that all players will enjoy.

How do VAC bans relate to phone numbers?
VAC bans are applied to all accounts sharing a phone number at the time of the infraction. For this (and many other) reasons we do not recommend sharing your phone number or using another user's phone number on your Steam account. 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.

There are no restrictions placed on phone numbers that were on an account when the account was VAC banned; phone numbers can immediately be used on new accounts.

Note: This feature is not enabled for all games and is used at the discretion of the developer.

Thank you for the quick, standard answer. It's sad that this is all that's left to do. Unfortunately, people don't think about these things and don't even realize it until it happens...

If I create a new user with the same phone number, will there be any problem?

you can create as many accounts as you want with the same number. bans only carried over at the time of infraction and when ban is applied.
