Hello, I've just made a new website selling mostly game and software keys (all perfectly legit). Anyway, I've tried using Google Ads for advertising and I've used a few accounts without an issue, ran them until the threshold and they got impressions and clicks and what not. However, I didn't pay. Then I've tried making new Ads accounts and started getting issues.

Usually I get "Suspicious Payments" right after uploading a campaign, or it will stay for a few hours and then get banned for Unacceptable Business Practices.

So far, I've tried multiple things:
- new Google accounts and old accounts
- tried VPN, tried different IP's
- tried from computer/phone/RDP
- Visa/Mastercard VCC's
- getting a different domain (same domain but just different TLD, could this be the problem?)
- different keywords and even trying with some random sites

I've had partial success when I tried making them from my phone however they got banned for UBP a bit later.

Honestly I wish I didn't have to deal with this sketchy shit, however it is definitely not worth paying for as even the first ad campaigns that I've run haven't brought me nowhere near enough sales where I would even break even, if I figured that out I would pay them and do it legit, until I figure it out though, I'm not throwing my money away.

My suspicion is that they probably don't even look at the keywords and domains you advertise, they probably look at the device you're posting from or the card perhaps? Evem though I use Revolut Disposable cards + I've tried some other virtual cards, maybe the same or similar post code I put gives me away? Or maybe they blacklisted the whole BIN?

So yeah, if anyone here has some experience, I would definitely appreciate a hint towards the right direction. I live in a small-ish European country that doesn't use the Euro so I would appreciate if your methods or ideas would work in those as well. Thank you all in advance

I could use a real bank card but I can't get nowhere as big a quantity of those as Revolut disposable cards so idk how much I like that solution

I am far away from being AdWords-Professional, but from what I heard
Revolut VCCs are a huge red flag on the Ads-Account (even on legit ads accounts).
They got abused way too hard.
You should try and use a different BIN.

Yeah, I've done a few more tests and I'm convinced it's the card now as well. I'll try and figure out something but it's a pain.
