Account Suspended for Circumventing Systems – Need Advice

[Moonflare]

Just had my Google Ads account suspended with the message: “Your account violated the circumventing systems: multiple account abuse policy.”
This is confusing because I wasn’t running anything crazy. I did create more than one account to test campaigns, but nothing aggressive. Now the whole account is gone.

Has anyone dealt with this exact type of suspension? Is there any way to appeal successfully, or should I just move on and start over with new setups? Any advice from people who’ve been through this would help a lot.

what's Your Niche? It depends you might be running against their policies ! There are lot of factors to be taken into consideration . Its better to start of with new setup .

 

[DarkStackz]

That policy is Google’s way of saying they linked your accounts. Once they see the connection, it’s tough to win an appeal.

 

[MysticTide]

Appeal if you want, but don’t rely on it. Most of the time they just reject it without explanation.

 

[TitanShade]

If you’re testing multiple accounts, make sure everything is unique—billing, IP, domains, and even device fingerprints.

 

[QuantumHaze]

For long-term stability, keep at least one fully compliant account and only experiment with backups.

 

[Darkfang]

Sometimes it’s faster to just move on. Suspended accounts rarely come back once flagged under ‘circumventing systems.

I used to appeal, now I just spin up new accounts faster than Google can kill them

Yeah, that “circumventing systems / multiple account abuse” flag is brutal. Once Google tags you with that, appeals almost never stick unless you can prove it was a legit billing/entity setup mistake. If you created multiple accounts under the same profile/IP/payment stack, their system basically treats you as one entity and shuts everything down.
If this was just testing, maybe rebuild from scratch. But if you’re planning to scale, it’s worth considering a more stable account path saves you the headache of losing everything overnight.

Yeah, that’s a common trigger. Having multiple accounts alone can flag you for ‘circumventing systems.’ You can try appealing, but unless you have a solid explanation/proof, reinstatement is rare. Most people end up starting fresh with a new setup (clean domain, BM, payment, etc.).

 

[Venomshade]

If you’ve already appealed, maybe start fresh with a clean setup while making sure to stick to Google’s guidelines. They can be tough on multiple accounts, but you might have better luck next time by keeping it all under one roof.

 

[JacksonAtWork]

this usually happens when Google flags multiple account connections or billing mismatches Try appealing with clean details and new payment info

 

[buyer1984]

Google is super strict with that one. Even a couple of extra accounts can trigger a ‘circumventing systems’ suspension. Appeals sometimes work, but only if everything is clean and consistent. If the appeal gets denied, most people just start fresh with a new setup, new payment method, and follow the rules very tightly

It really depends on the niche. You may be running into policy limitations, and with all the variables involved, starting fresh or revisiting your approach could be the most reliable option.

 

[BoostBlitz SEO]

That policy basically means Google has linked your accounts. Once they make that connection, overturning an appeal becomes very difficult.

 

[CampaignMastermind]

I’ve had a similar issue, and it’s often a result of Google flagging accounts for creating multiple accounts, even if you weren’t doing anything shady. The best move is to file an appeal explaining your situation clearly, showing that you weren’t trying to circumvent the system. If you can, reach out to Google support directly to discuss your case. If they don’t lift the suspension, you might have to start fresh, but avoid creating multiple accounts moving forward to prevent triggering future issues.

 

[Muhammad_Raza]

I’ve seen this type of suspension happen when Google’s system links accounts together or detects unusual patterns, even if the intent wasn’t to do anything risky. The best first step is usually to review your setup, check what might have triggered the flag, and then submit an appeal with a clear explanation. Sometimes Google restores the account, sometimes they don’t, but understanding what caused it will help you avoid the same issue going forward.

honestly once they flag you for circumventing it’s game over for that account, appeals almost never work. dont waste time trying to fix it, just get a fresh setup with different ip, payment info and domain or it’ll just happen again.

 

[bubblehat]

circumventing systems is tough, usually happens if you used same card or info on both accounts.

 

[minase]

Did you create two accounts in a short time and use the same card?
It could also be that your niche violates Google policies.

You can submit an appeal and explain honestly that you created the accounts just to test the service, with no intention to bypass the system.
