[Jabba Desilijic Tiure]

Did you try any other cloaking methods?

yes, i already tried 3 different cloakers

Maybe you are making the exact same campaign on multiple accounts including banned ones so therefore your account gets limited on ad spending and eventually gets manually reviewed and banned?

I use new accounts on all my campaigns (i don't have any other option, because accounts die after 1-2 day(s))

How much traffic do you get before account is banned?
I'm asking this because I'm guessing the probability of accumulating enough "big data" (in your case it's actually quite "small" I guess ) for later analysis.

Accounts get around 500-1500 traffic per day, but I'm not sure what this has to do with my question?

Since we are in the "Cloaking" section of the board, I am thinking about it in the aspect of cloaking. On a such low traffic volume a ban can occur either because of user reports or some fb-bots undetected by your cloak.
The possible solution for the second option is an in-depth analysis of logs from a different banned accounts. We need to go deeper and find some patterns.

All right, that makes sense. Only problem, I tried different cloakers (cheap ones, but also the €500+ per month ones) and each one has the same problem. Thats why I already terminated the idea of the problem being because of a cloaker..

I never worked with fb (actually, I'm an engineer and data scientist) so it could be a wild guess, but don't you ever think it could be some kind of "shadow ban"?
When your landing page/credit card/any other fingerprint got flagged but it's triggered only when you spend about €171.

They could use it to obstruct you understanding true reasons of ban.

This theory can be refuted if in some cases you get a ban instantly (for example, using an already banned credit card or website).

I totally agree with the "shadow ban". My first guess would be that the cause is the prepaid payment solution. I only work with prepaid payments (so no creditcard/paypal) and have never worked with cc/pp (I've tried multiple times, but then accounts die or cc/pp get banned). Problem with cc/pp is, that once a account is blocked, the cc/pp is also blocked so that doesn't work.
It might also be the landing page, but FB shouldn't be seeing that since I'm cloaking that landing page. An easy thing for me to test is change the landing page, and see if the problem is then still the same.

To scale, perhaps run several accounts at the same time?

If it is possible, you could try to make an absolutely WHITE version of landing page, without any kind of monetization. And keep all other settings (including even cloaking) the same.
It will be some kind of "canary testing".

If it will be banned after €171 limit, you need to change ONE parameter at time – e.g remove cloaking at all.
And so on, repeatedly.

Kind of expensive, but it's the real way to reverse-engineer fb protocols.

You're right, it might be expensive but I think it is a very good idea. I think I'm just gonna try to create an ad to some popular news site (without cloaking/lander), and see if I then still have the same problem. If the problem then doesn't exist, I'll try with cloaking, if that works, I'll add a lander, and so on. Thanks for the tip!

Great! If it's possible, please let me know if the problem was caused by cloaking.
