Ban Reason Multiple Accounts linked to this device.

Your account has been permanently banned because our system detected multiple accounts being accessed from the same device. This is a serious violation of our Terms of Service, which strictly allow only one user account per device.

This rule exists to protect the integrity of the platform, ensure fairness for all users, and maintain a trustworthy environment for our advertisers. When more than one account appears on a single device, it raises concerns of fraud, manipulation, or attempts to gain unfair advantages.

Below is an explanation of why this rule is crucial and why breaches lead to permanent bans.


Why We Do Not Allow More Than One Account Per Device

1. To Prevent Fraud and Abuse

Multiple accounts from a single device often indicate:

  • attempts to earn rewards multiple times

  • users trying to bypass bans

  • coordinated manipulation

  • automated or bot-assisted actions

Fraud hurts the platform, reduces advertiser trust, and makes the experience worse for legitimate users.


2. Because Survey Providers Use Device Fingerprints

Survey networks track users through:

  • device IDs

  • hardware fingerprints

  • browser signatures

  • cookies

  • IP history

When more than one user appears on the same device, providers cannot determine who is real.
This leads to:

  • disqualifications

  • rejected surveys

  • chargebacks

  • blocked traffic

  • fewer earning opportunities for everyone

Advertisers expect one real person per device, not multiple identities.


3. To Protect Offer Quality and Availability

When duplicate accounts are detected, advertisers may:

  • stop sending surveys

  • refuse to pay for completions

  • shut down targeting for entire regions

This impacts the whole platform, not just one user.
Enforcing the one-device/one-account rule protects survey quality for all participants.


4. To Ensure Each User Has a Fair Chance

Allowing multiple accounts on one device would give those users an unfair advantage over honest members.
It could allow:

  • double rewards

  • extra bonuses

  • repeated submissions

  • manipulation of offer limits

This is unfair to the majority who follow the rules.


5. Preventing Identity Mix-Ups

Even innocent device-sharing (family, friends, roommates) creates problems because:

  • survey systems treat the activity as suspicious

  • accounts receive fewer surveys

  • rewards may go to the wrong user

  • legitimate users get banned because they appear as duplicates

To avoid this, each account must use its own device.


What This Means for Your Account

Our security system detected more than one account linked to your device.
These findings are verified through:

  • hardware data

  • fingerprint consistency

  • behavioural logs

  • IP/device matching

  • connection history

Once confirmed, support cannot override or reverse the ban.
This rule exists to protect the platform and the honest users who rely on it.


Final Decision

Because your device was used to access multiple accounts, your account has been permanently banned. This decision is final, and support cannot reinstate or review it further.

We appreciate your understanding of why these rules are necessary to maintain a fair and secure environment for all users.
