Hello Steam Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. My Steam account (rick griems) was recently banned from playing Counter-Strike, and I truly believe this was a mistake.

I have never cheated, used unauthorized software, or broken any of Steam’s rules. I respect the game and the community, and I always play fairly. The only possible explanation I can think of is that I play from different gaming cafés, which causes my IP address and server location to change frequently. This might have made my activity look suspicious, but I assure you that I have never done anything against the rules.

Counter-Strike is one of my favorite games, and I have spent a lot of time and effort building my account and enjoying it with friends. I kindly and respectfully ask for a review of my case so I can continue playing and being part of the community I love.

Thank you so much for your time, understanding, and support.

Best regards,
rick griems

You are responsible for the hardware and software on the systems you play on. Do not play protected games on systems you don't own nor fully administratively control.

You cannot appeal a CS2 game ban.

CS2 game bans can be issued for, including but not exclusively:
* frequent irregular gameplay as detected by VACNet AI or by other means, this includes premade matchmaking with a cheater repeatedly or cheating committed by yourself,
* incessant griefing by verbal abuse, in-game physical abuse or other unsportsmanlike conduct,
* botting and automation,
* manipulation of matchmaker and rating,
* disruption of gameplay on the technical level (such as DDoS attacks or causing crashes)

CS2 game bans are both permanent and non-negotiable.
