FAQ [#faq]

**What are the requirements for making a GSLT?**

Valve has some guidelines on what accounts are able to create a Game Server Login Token:

* Your Steam account must not be currently community banned or locked.
* Your Steam account must not be limited.
* Your Steam account must have a qualifying registered phone.
* Your Steam account must own the game for which you are creating a game server account.
* Your Steam account may create 1000 game server accounts.

**Can I get a GSLT Ban?**

Valve has token banned server owners in the past for violating their terms. If Valve token bans you, you can no longer host servers from your account. **We strongly suggest you view Valve's [Terms of Service](https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/07AF-502E-A104-BD4B)** to see what is and is not allowed.
