    Question Can I get banned for testing hacks in a private game with bots ?

    I would like to test some hacks vs bots but I'm not sure if I can get banned for that. I don't want to get banned on my mai naccoutn so that's the reason I'm asking this

    Cool
    No, VAC is never active on bot games.

    Not if you start the game in insecure mode. Type "-insecure" into the launch parameters before you start the game, that would disable any hack detection, but you cannot join VAC secured games until you disable the -insecure parameter.

    No it doesn't. -insecure does not disable VAC from running, it disables file signature checks which disallows you to connect to vac servers.

    the best way is to turn off your internet connection and play in offline mode?

    You can still get banned. It's a myth that you cannot.

    If you join a offline with bots game on a vac banned account, it ends up kicking you for vac ban about 4 minutes in or so.

    The safest way is to start steam in offline mode. It wouldn't connect to the internet. The drop down list on the top right, "Steam" and press "Go Offline"
