Try it again mate because no one could really give you a correct answer.

I know, I'm not looking for an answer, just similar experiences and possible solutions. I will definitely try it again next month and also on my 1st account when my country becomes eligible for monetization

Hi everyone. My TikTok account recently got disqualified from the creator rewards program and the reason is "security issue".
To be fair, I've used a VPN when I initially created the account, but only then, this is how I accessed the monetization cause I'm not in a eligible country.
I also recently used a USA SIM card to reach more US audience, this did work, and 2 posts after this, I had a video make me 300€.
A bit after this, the disqualification happened. Now it has to be either because of the VPN, the SIM or tiktok straight up stealing my money cause they detected a sudden spike in RPM and rewards (which was completely organic).
I really hope it's because of the SIM, or at least the VPN, but unfortunately I read some people on reddit who faced this issue and, according to them, they did nothing wrong, but still got disqualified and their appeal rejected. I really hope it's not like this cause it would be theft and very demotivating.
Has anyone else here faced this issue? Have you been able to re-join the month after? Did you make your money back? Did TikTok lower your RPM or views the month after?

I didn't use a VPN or SIM card other than the one on my regular phone, and I also had this issue.
There was a disqualification until October 20th, and I just rejoined the program because I didn't see that they had restored the option to rejoin.

J'avais un autre compte sur le même téléphone où j'avais acheté des followers, et je soupçonne que l'algorithme a détecté le trucage, ce qui a peut-être aussi affecté ce compte. Je pense que c'était le cas, mais je n'en suis pas sûr.

• you reside in a country in which Creator Rewards Program is available and do not use a VPN or other similar tool;
