Available in: Free, on all plans. The ban list is a public page, so you can read it without an account.
FACEIT blocks players who cheat, smurf or break its rules. FACEITSync reads those blocks from the official FACEIT interface and collects them on one public page, so you can look up whether a profile is blocked right now, for what reason, and until when.
Find a player in three steps
Step 3 is the one people skip, and it is why a name that is definitely banned sometimes seems to be missing.
- Open the page. In the menu at the top of the site click Community, then FACEIT Bans; on a phone the same entry sits in the menu behind the hamburger icon. You do not need to be logged in.
- Type the name into the search field above the table. It looks at the FACEIT nickname and the Twitch name, so whichever you know is enough, and the table reloads a moment after you stop typing.
- Switch the tab if nothing comes up. The page opens on Active Bans, which only lists blocks that are running at this moment. History next to it holds every ban we have ever recorded, the running ones and the ones that have ended.
Every row is a link. Clicking it opens that player's FACEITSync profile, where the ban is shown in full.
Where the information comes from
Nothing here is our own judgement. A background process walks through the FACEIT profiles in our database and asks the official FACEIT interface whether each one carries a ban. What comes back is what you see: ban type, reason, start date, end date.
The profiles are not all checked at the same rhythm. A fresh ban is worth finding quickly, a permanent one barely changes, so the queue is ordered like this:
One extra rule reorders that queue without asking FACEIT any more often: a player who was active in the last two weeks and then went quiet for over two days is checked earlier, because a ban is one of the few things that stops someone playing overnight.
If FACEIT cannot be reached, the profile keeps the state we last knew. A failed request never counts as "no ban", so an outage on their side cannot quietly clear somebody from the list.
What a row shows
A narrow phone screen has no room for all four: only the player and the end date stay. The reason appears from tablet width, the start date on a wide screen.
Four counters sit above the table: active bans right now, new bans in the last 24 hours, every ban ever recorded, and how many FACEIT profiles we watch. The table shows 25 entries per page, and next to the search sit two dropdowns: one filters by category, the other sorts by start date, by the ban that ends first, or by ELO.
The ban categories
FACEIT does not hand out fixed labels. It writes a short reason in free text, and we sort that text into five groups plus a catch-all so the filter and the chart have something to work with.
That is why the badge and the reason always appear together: the badge is our grouping, the line underneath it is FACEIT's wording.
Which kinds of ban appear
FACEIT has more than one kind of block, and the list takes them all: the anti-cheat ban on the game itself, account-wide platform bans, and bans issued by a tournament organizer. The profile page names which one it is.
One exception is deliberate: FACEIT hosts more than Counter-Strike, and a game ban belonging to a different title is skipped, because it says nothing about that player in CS2.
A notice above the table names the one gap worth knowing: all ban types have only been recorded in full since 12 July 2026. Older bans can be incomplete or missing.
The chart above the table
The bars count how many bans were detected on each of the last 30 days, not how many were issued. The buttons above it switch the chart to a single category, and the bars rescale so that category's biggest day fills the height again.
The current day is drawn lighter because it is still counting, and it appears only once a few bans have come in, so an early morning does not end the chart with a misleadingly tiny bar.
Why banned players disappear from the rankings
FACEIT takes a banned player out of its own ranking, and FACEITSync does the same rather than leaving them in place with a warning icon: somebody kept in a position they no longer hold would push everybody below them one place too low. They vanish from the global ELO ranking, the streamer ranking, the FACEITSync Score ranking and every country list, and their profile shows no rank number while the ban runs.
The profile itself is not hidden. It stays online, the site search still finds it, and the matches already recorded stay where they are.
What changes on your own profile
If your own FACEIT account is banned, this is what changes:
- A red ban card appears in the sidebar of your profile. It names the ban type, FACEIT's reason, the start date and either the end date with the remaining time, or Permanent.
- The refresh button on the profile is locked and reads Update locked. New data is not fetched for a banned profile, so the figures stay as they were when the ban started.
- You are out of every ranking.
- Your entry appears on the public list, with the reason FACEIT gave for the ban.
Your FACEITSync account, dashboard and settings are untouched, and your profile page, match history and clips stay online.
When a ban ends or is lifted
There is nothing to do and nothing to report. The next check picks it up by itself, and a ban whose end date has passed sits near the front of the queue instead of waiting for the general sweep.
The moment FACEIT reports the profile as clean, the ban details are cleared and the rankings take the player back. The stored copy of the profile page is dropped as well, so the red card disappears for visitors too, and a profile without a FACEITSync account goes back into the queue for fresh data.
The entry leaves the Active Bans tab at that point, but it is not deleted: a ban that has been recorded keeps its place under History.
When the list does not show what you expect
Work down this list in order. Almost every case is one of the first three.
- You are on the wrong tab. Active Bans hides everything that has already ended. Switch to History.
- A filter is still set. The category dropdown and the search box stay as you left them. Set the category back to Ban Types and clear the search field.
- The profile is not tracked at all. The list only covers the FACEIT profiles in our database. One lands there when it turns up in a match we are following, or when somebody looks it up, for example with
!elo namein a Twitch chat. - The ban is only minutes old. A clean profile is not asked about again for 24 hours, and the queue is long, so a brand new ban takes a while to surface. The counters are held for ten minutes and the chart for half an hour, so those lag behind the table as well.
- The ban is older than 12 July 2026. Before that date not every ban type was recorded, so older cases can be missing.
- It is a ban for a different game. A FACEIT game ban that belongs to another title is deliberately not shown on a CS2 profile.
- You searched the wrong name. The search matches the FACEIT nickname and the Twitch name, but not a name the player used in the past.
FAQ
Can FACEITSync ban somebody, or lift a ban? No. The decision, the reason and the length belong to FACEIT; we only read what their interface reports. An appeal goes to FACEIT support, not to us.
Is this every FACEIT ban that exists? No. It covers the FACEIT profiles in our database, which is a large number of profiles but nowhere near the whole platform.
Why can I still find a banned player in the site search? A ban removes a player from the rankings, not from FACEITSync.
Who wrote the reason in the Reason column? FACEIT did. Only the coloured category next to it is our grouping of that text.
How long does an entry stay under History? It stays. A ban that has been recorded keeps its history entry after it ends.
