Can I open a new Twitter Ads account if my previous account was banned due to VCC issues?

Opening a new Twitter Ads account after your previous account was banned due to Virtual Credit Card (VCC) issues can be tricky. Twitter has strict policies regarding accounts that violate their terms of service, and attempting to circumvent these policies by opening a new account could lead to further penalties or permanent bans. Here's what you need to consider:

1. Understanding the Ban Reason:
First, confirm that your previous account was banned specifically because of VCC issues. If it was banned for violating Twitter's payment policies, such as using an unacceptable payment method, simply opening a new account might result in the new account being flagged or banned as well.

2. Appealing the Ban:
Appeal Process: Before attempting to open a new account, it's advisable to appeal the ban on your original account if possible. Contact Twitter Ads support and explain your situation. They may be able to help you resolve the issue, especially if it's a misunderstanding or if you're now using a compliant payment method.

If you appeal and your account is reinstated, you'll avoid the risk of creating a new account and dealing with another potential ban.

3. Addressing the Payment Issue:
Compliant Payment Methods: If your previous account was banned because of VCC usage, you must use a valid, accepted payment method for any future advertising accounts. Twitter typically accepts physical credit cards, debit cards, or PayPal in most regions.

Ensure you comply with Twitter's advertising policies to prevent future issues with payments.

4. Creating a New Account (if necessary):
If you cannot resolve the ban through an appeal and still wish to create a new Twitter Ads account, follow these guidelines:

New Email & Account Information: Use a new email address and possibly a different name, if the ban was account-specific.

New Payment Method: Do not use the same VCC or any other problematic payment method. Instead, use a legitimate, widely accepted payment method such as a physical credit card or PayPal.

Careful with Compliance: Make sure your new account adheres to all of Twitter's advertising policies to avoid future violations and bans.

5. Risks of Creating a New Account:
Risk of Rejection or Further Bans: Twitter uses tracking systems to detect accounts associated with previously banned accounts. Even if you use different details, they may still detect a connection to your previous account, leading to a rejection or another ban.

Legal/Policy Risks: If you attempt to create a new account to bypass a ban, this could be considered a violation of Twitter's terms of service, leading to permanent bans across all accounts.

6. Consult with Twitter Support:
If you are uncertain about whether you can create a new account, you can ask Twitter Ads support for clarification. Being upfront about your situation and asking for guidance may help you avoid further complications.

Conclusion:
While it's technically possible to open a new Twitter Ads account, it's important to address the reasons behind the previous ban first and ensure you're using a compliant payment method. If you don't resolve the issue properly, creating a new account may just lead to more problems. It's always best to work through the appeal process with Twitter to avoid future issues.
