I see, so if anymore than 3 strikes will put my account in danger ?
If an app is blocked, is there a way that i can resolve that matter with them ?
Can i create a new app with the same title as others ?

You can appeal . But it's totally waste. They won't compromise their policies.

No it looks scammy if two apps have same name and one has many downloads and one has none.

Yeah i see what your saying, but what's important is if you pick an already chosen/copyrighted title, don't you get a warning before the app ban or the strike ? Don't they give you a warning ?

Suspections, rejections and strikes are affecting your account. For all accs usually 3 strikes are enough to get account termination. Some accs with many installs long-lived apps can survive more than 3 strikes....but its exception.
Due to the fact that I'm working with black hat apps ....all my apps eventually are banned and accs are terminated. But this method is good enough to pass through moderation. I've seen apps wuth such titles living for years.
But if you are affraid of your acc and want just to try how it works, you can make a small cheat with apps presence by testing you greyhat titles as an "experiment" in store presenes for some percentage of audience

Intresting, do you mean like restrict my app to a certain geography to see what kind of interactions i get, like a particular country ? Is that what you've meant by test some percentage of audience ?

Well that's good to know, at least i will know what to expect! I understand that now with those 3 app strikes my Google play account will be banned, what about my Admob account will it be affected aswell ? (because that's the most important thing for me, i can't imagine myself creating another one with the same name and address)

Choosing store presence -> Store listing experiments
Here you'll be able to test different variants but you 'll have to choose how many percants of all users will see A/B/C/D experiment title.
Concerning localization and geo you'd better to read play console documentation
Can't tell you anything about Admob

Don't link admob app to the Google play store app.
You will get notifications about stopping of ads if you linked apps get blocked.
I don't know if they block the admob account or not.
If you don't link then no problem. Admob will not detect the package.

Thank you, that didn't come up to my mind !
Yeah what your saying seems to be very reasonable, doing like you suggested might reduce the risks of getting the Admob closed. However if i don't link them both how will i know the statistics of the app ? use only Firebase ?
If i unlink Admob from the app in google play will i still receive the cash flow ?

For admob ads serving it's not mandatory connect it to the play store.
Why you need statistics if you are going to do something unethical and you can get those statistics from firebase and GA itself.

One thing for sure i won't be linking Admob anymore with my game ! But they will still be displayed though in the app of admob right ?
But when you think about it, all these services, like Firebase and Admob are all owned and controlled by Google, won't they report back to it so they can relate everything back to the same user ?
