Step-by-step guide: how to search, watch profiles, and set up ban notifications on Telegram and Discord.

How to watch a profile (ban tracking)

Watching a profile lets you automatically get notified when that player receives a VAC ban or a FACEIT-specific ban (e.g. Verbal Abuse, Cheating on FACEIT).

Sign in with Steam ("Sign in" button in the top right corner).

Go to the profile you want to watch and click the "Watch" button / eye icon next to their stats.

Done – we now check this profile every 24h. If it receives a ban (or loses one), you'll get a notification in the app and – if connected – on Telegram and/or Discord.

You can watch any number of profiles. Manage your watched list and remove profiles in Settings.

How to connect Telegram and get ban notifications

Once you connect your Telegram account, our bot will send you a private message whenever a profile you watch receives (or loses) a VAC or FACEIT ban.

Sign in to faceit-finder.com with Steam, then go to Settings.

In the "Connected accounts" section find Telegram and click the login button – confirm in the Telegram popup.

Open our bot @FaceitFindercomBot and send it /start – this activates receiving messages (Telegram requires you to message the bot first).

Start watching any profile (see "Watching profiles" above) – from now on you'll get a private message whenever its ban status changes.

If you don't see messages from the bot, make sure you sent /start and that the "Telegram" channel is enabled in Settings → Notifications.

How to connect Discord

Connecting Discord lets you get mentioned (@) in ban notifications on our Discord server and automatically assigns a role matching your Faceit level.

Sign in with Steam, go to Settings and click "Connect Discord" in the "Connected accounts" section.

Join our Discord server – link in the footer or the notifications menu.

Done – you'll be mentioned (@) in the ban notifications channel for profiles you watch.

Connected accounts

Manage all account connections in one place – Settings. You don't need to connect everything at once; Steam is required to sign in, add the rest as needed.
