I've not read the whole thread so sorry if this has already been asked, if a player dives and initially gets a penalty which is then overturned by VAR is the player booked and/or do they get a three game ban?

No. The offence is deceiving the match official. If the penalty isn’t actually given, the player cannot have deceived the official so would only get a booking.

Thanks, in that case its use this season could cause some inconsistencies. For example, potentially we could have a man banned for three games after diving and winning a penalty in our league cup semi, yet if an Arsenal or Chelsea players dived for a penalty in the other semi where they are using VAR the worst they'd get is no penalty and a booking for essentially the same offence.

Although they would be different as, in your example, we would have got the penalty and they wouldn’t have. Also, it’s only a 2 game ban not a 3.

Sorry 2 game.

The issue would be the dive though wouldn't it? The offence is the same, it's only the outcome that is different.
