Reports are the main way to help the system find cheaters. The more accurate reports an account gets, the faster it is reviewed.

🔧 Reporting during a match

  • Hold Tab and press the right mouse button to get a cursor.

  • Click the player's name → "Report".

  • Choose the reason: Aimbot, Wallhack, Other hacking or Griefing/abuse.

  • Click "Submit".

📌 Reporting after a match

  • Watch → Your Matches → choose the match.

  • In the player list, click the suspicious player and submit a report.

🎯 How to keep evidence

  • Download the match demo: Watch → Your Matches → Download.

  • Note the rounds with suspicious moments — useful if you contact a server's or community's support.

🛡️ What happens next

  • Reports are used by the VAC Live anti-cheat system and in the player's Trust Factor.

  • If the player gets banned, you will see a notification when you launch the game.

⚠️ Important

  • Report only when there is a reason: false reports do not help and clutter the system.

  • Third-party (community) servers have their own report systems — contact the server's admins.
