How to Appeal a CS:GO Ban

Getting banned in CS:GO can feel like a major setback, but there's a process for appealing it. First off, you'll want to identify why you were banned because the appeal process might vary. For VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) bans, these are permanent and non-negotiable, meaning if you were flagged by the system, there's no appeal process. However, for other bans like cooldowns or Overwatch bans, you can contact Steam Support with a detailed and polite explanation of your situation. Remember to include any evidence you think may help your case. It’s all about proving your innocence or showing that the ban was a mistake.

I got a temporary cooldown once because my internet cut out and it looked like I quit a match. I explained the situation to Steam Support and they were actually super understanding and removed the cooldown. Just be honest and provide any info or evidence you can!
