Got Falsely Game Banned on CS2
I made this account to get weekly drops,
on july 14 I bought cs2 and 2 days later prime,I only play casual/deathmatch to get weekly and slowly build up armoury crates for a bit more profit,
I was busy few days so I log on to start weekly drop again but theres an alert in steam client then I open it up to find out im banned,
Should I just wait it out or contact steam support,will they actually tell me what game I was banned for or just no justification/reason at all,Atleast that way I can just wait and hopefully it gets removed as false positive by their ban detection system or whatever.
I do this on my main as well and theres no ban on that account I have been doing weekly drops on that for 6 months and armoury for 3 months since fever case was launched

Your game ban has nothing to do with this forum.

Game bans are issued for more than just cheats!

so this isnt even like the vac bans that sometimes get reversed in rare cases where its a false positive

Cheating isn't the only reason to get permanently banned in CS2 for.

Ok
Same thing happened to me... Accounts I have for weekly drops and to transfer skins to if my main gets hacked, I lost $4000 in skins 2023, were just vac banned for no reason. Hopefully it's just a software glitch because I don't cheat and the accounts were almost totally played on Steam deck.
Vac Bans Incorrect Count
Based on available information, the exact number of VAC bans that have been definitively shown to be incorrect and subsequently overturned is not publicly disclosed by Valve. However, several documented incidents provide insight into the scale of such reversals.

In July 2010, approximately 12,000 players were incorrectly banned from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 due to a Steam DLL update, and these bans were later revoked.
Another incident in October 2023 involved users of AMD graphics cards whose accounts were banned in Counter-Strike 2 due to the "Anti-Lag+" driver feature; Valve pledged to unban affected users after AMD withdrew the update.
Additionally, in October 2023, Valve also issued bans to users for playing on Windows 7 and for high mouse DPI settings, which were subsequently undone.

One community discussion on Steam forums cited a figure of 4,300 accounts that had been unbanned due to being applied incorrectly, based on tracked statistics, which would represent a small fraction (slightly under 0.13%) of the 3.4 million banned accounts tracked at that time.
Another source mentions a database suggesting around 1,900 reversals, though this data is noted to be inaccurate and not up-to-date.
The Steam community has also reported on other specific cases where bans were reversed, such as the 2010 Modern Warfare 2 incident and the 2016 issue involving file signatures.

While these documented cases indicate that false positives do occur, Valve does not provide a public, comprehensive count of all overturned bans. The company maintains that VAC is highly accurate, with a very low rate of false positives, and that the system is designed to minimize such occurrences.

These figures are probably just a drop in the ocean... Valves reputation for secrecy and denial and their total disregard for the rights of their consumers is LEGENDARY!!!
LoL this is totally the place for these types of discussion... Steam is a brick wall... You'll get zero feedback... Sounds like communism to me...
