Delta Force is widening its cheater-compensation policy. G.T.I. Security announced on September 7, 2026 that players affected by a cheating-related elimination may now receive compensation when the offending player receives a 30-day ban. Previously, the compensation applied only when the cheater received a 10-year ban.
The updated rule appears in the security announcement published on Steam. It concerns players who receive an email confirming that a 30-day or 10-year ban has been successfully issued.
Compensation follows the ban confirmation
Once that confirmation email has been received, G.T.I. Security says the compensation will be sent through in-game mail within three business days. The announced process is therefore the same for both ban durations; the change is the addition of 30-day sanctions to the cases that can qualify.
The security team also specifies one limitation. Compensation will not be issued again if equipment brought into a match was extracted by teammates and then returned to the player. That exception applies to repeat compensation for the same equipment situation, rather than changing the newly expanded ban eligibility.
G.T.I. Security continues to describe Delta Force’s security policy as zero tolerance toward plug-ins, illegal software, inappropriate behavior, and the malicious exploitation of bugs or exploits.
What the latest enforcement report says
Alongside the policy change, the security announcement gives enforcement figures for PC between August 31 and September 6, 2026. G.T.I. Security reports:
- 1,097 users received a 10-year ban;
- 110 DMA bans, real-time interceptions or freeze actions were recorded;
- 11,565 devices were blocked for one year;
- 1,827 cheating attempts were stopped in real time;
- 10,181 players were disconnected for cheating;
- 259 warnings were issued for cooperating with cheaters;
- 34 bans included the confiscation of unfairly obtained gains;
- security measures targeted 33 cheating tools.
The Mobile section reports 322 10-year bans, 12,782 cheating attempts stopped in real time, and action against 41 cheating tools. The Console section mentions eight bans for violations without adding further detail.
Economic-security actions remain separate
The announcement also reports 147,717 cases linked to automated scripts, 30,953 confiscations of profits, and 116,764 account bans in its economic-security figures for the previous week. These totals are not broken down by platform, so they should not be added to the PC, Mobile or Console figures above.
For affected players, the practical change is clear: a cheating-related elimination can now lead to compensation even when the cheater receives a 30-day ban. Eligibility still depends on G.T.I. Security confirming the successful sanction by email, after which the in-game delivery is expected within three business days.
Players following JEU.VIDEO’s gaming news should therefore treat the confirmation email as the trigger for the announced process. The policy broadens the covered ban duration, but it does not remove the confirmation requirement or the stated exception for equipment already recovered and returned.
