Do VAC bans expire?

No, Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) bans are permanent and non-negotiable, meaning they don't expire or get removed by Steam Support, though incorrect bans are automatically lifted. However, older VAC bans (typically over 5-7 years) may become invisible to other users on your profile, and Valve has adjusted eligibility rules for some esports events for older bans, but the ban itself remains on the account.
