Whether you have been VAC banned or not, you may be wondering if it is possible to trade items with banned accounts. Unlike normal bans, a VAC ban is permanent. While you cannot get a ban removed by Steam Support, you can request to have it removed if it was issued incorrectly. You can also read more about how to bypass VAC bans.
One of the most common reasons for VAC bans is a player changing the game code or using an external tool to cheat. If your computer has a signature of a known cheat, then it is highly likely that you are banned. If you are unable to trade, contact the game’s administrators. They will most likely automatically remove the ban if the game is fixed. Hopefully, you will be able to trade again once you have cleared your ban.
A VAC ban only applies to games protected by VAC. Therefore, you can still play the game on non-VAC servers. Even if your account is vac-banned, you can still play the game offline, or on private servers. A VAC ban does not extend beyond the game where you were caught cheating. However, you are not supposed to trade if you have been vac-banned.

If you’re wondering “Can I trade with a VAC ban?” you are not alone. Some players have had their accounts banned because of cheating. A recent incident involved Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen. As a result, he’s been banned from all Valve-sponsored esports events. A recent Counter-Strike: GO blog post detailed how a player can trade despite being banned by the VAC.
The Steam database reports that VAC bans 3,000 to 4,000 accounts every single day. In the most recent historic VAC wave in October 2016, Valve Anti-Cheat detected 40,411 cheating accounts. Despite these high numbers, it’s important to remember that VAC doesn’t necessarily restrict cheating. It does limit the amount of games a player can play. Hence, you can still trade despite the VAC ban.
In most cases, VAC bans are permanent, meaning that your account cannot play the game with cheat protected modes. The ban cannot be removed by Steam Support. However, if the ban was issued incorrectly, it will be automatically removed. The best way to trade with a VAC ban is to log in to the game using the Steam achievement manager, which is not in compliance with the Steam Subscriber Agreement. Another way to trade with a VAC ban is to remove the game from Steam. This will remove any red ban text.
