Imagine you’re setting up a new Google Ads account to promote campaigns in a blackhat niche. You’ve carefully followed all the steps to get around Google’s rules about creating multiple accounts, added a payment method, and then, suddenly, your new account gets banned.
Creating a new Google Ads account is already a complicated and time-consuming task, so this situation is really frustrating. Many affiliate marketers face this problem. Even if your new account looks clean, follows all the guidelines, and has some trust built up, using a payment method that was linked to another account before can lead to an instant ban, throwing your account straight into the trash.
Luckily, there are ways to solve this issue. The YeezyPay team, a service that provides access to trusted Google Ads agency accounts, will share clear and useful strategies to lower the chances of getting banned because of payment methods or avoid these bans completely. We’ll explain why these bans happen and give you two practical methods to keep your accounts safe.
New accounts that aren't warmed up and don’t have much trust are especially at risk. If Google’s systems find a connection between a new account and a banned account through the payment method (like a credit card or virtual card), the new account is often banned very quickly. However, agency accounts, which are already set up and trusted by Google, are less likely to get banned. But it’s still important to note that, even with these accounts, using a payment method that was linked to a banned account before can cause problems.
Each Google Ads account requires its own unique VCC. To further protect your account, you’ll need to use tools like anti-detect browsers, proxy servers, and IP address changes. These tools help conceal your digital identity, but they can be expensive and complex to set up correctly.
Google doesn’t just track users through their IP address, proxy, or browser. It also monitors more technical details, including:
One way to avoid bans is to carefully disguise your digital identity. Affiliates often use advanced anti-detect browsers and virtual machines to mimic a completely new operating system and device. These tools help hide the technical details that Google tracks, making your account appear unrelated to any previously banned accounts.

Why Google Bans Accounts for Payment Issues
Google has strict rules for advertisers, and they must give correct details, including information about their payment methods. This is clearly written in the February 2025 update of Google’s advertiser policy. If one of your accounts gets banned and you try to make a new one using similar details, like the same IP address, proxy, internet connection, or payment information, Google’s systems can notice this connection. When they do, the new account has a high chance of being banned.New accounts that aren't warmed up and don’t have much trust are especially at risk. If Google’s systems find a connection between a new account and a banned account through the payment method (like a credit card or virtual card), the new account is often banned very quickly. However, agency accounts, which are already set up and trusted by Google, are less likely to get banned. But it’s still important to note that, even with these accounts, using a payment method that was linked to a banned account before can cause problems.
How to Reduce the Risk of Bans: Two Practical Methods
Google’s systems carefully analyze payment methods, checking details like the type of card (for example, a virtual card or VCC), its registration information, the issuing bank, the geographic location, and the BIN (Bank Identification Number, the first six digits of a card). If you use virtual cards, they must be “clean,” meaning they have never been banned or used on another Google Ads account.Each Google Ads account requires its own unique VCC. To further protect your account, you’ll need to use tools like anti-detect browsers, proxy servers, and IP address changes. These tools help conceal your digital identity, but they can be expensive and complex to set up correctly.
Google doesn’t just track users through their IP address, proxy, or browser. It also monitors more technical details, including:
- Canvas plugin: This collects information about your device’s video system.
- Browser plugins: Google checks which plugins are installed, their versions, and when they were added.
- Operating system: The type and version of your operating system are tracked.
- Fonts: Google examines the fonts installed in your browser and how quickly they load.
- WebGL: This is the code that handles 3D graphics on websites.
- MAC address: This is a unique identifier for your device when it connects to the internet.
Method 1: Using Advanced Anti-Detect Browsers and New Virtual Cards
To avoid bans, affiliates often carefully disguise themselves, hide all digital traces, and use all the capabilities of anti-detection browsers, including virtual machines emulating the new OS.One way to avoid bans is to carefully disguise your digital identity. Affiliates often use advanced anti-detect browsers and virtual machines to mimic a completely new operating system and device. These tools help hide the technical details that Google tracks, making your account appear unrelated to any previously banned accounts.
However, this method comes with several challenges:
- High costs: Anti-detect software and virtual machines are expensive, typically costing $90 per month or more. This money could otherwise be spent on your advertising campaigns.
- Risk of errors: If someone on your team makes a mistake, such as forgetting to change the browser’s digital “fingerprints” (unique identifiers), Google may detect the account, leading to an immediate ban.
- Warming up accounts: New accounts need time to build trust with Google, often requiring weeks of careful activity (known as “warming up”). Without this, even a legitimate campaign could trigger a ban.
- Risks of buying accounts:Some affiliates choose to buy pre-made accounts instead of warming up their own. This can be risky because:
- You might get scammed and receive nothing.
- You could end up with a low-quality, automatically registered (autoreg) account that gets banned quickly.
- The account might already be linked to someone else’s payment method, which could raise suspicions with Google’s moderators.
Method 2: Using Google Ads Agency Accounts
The YeezyPay team offers a simpler and more reliable solution: access to pre-warmed, high-quality Google Ads agency accounts. These accounts are funded through the YeezyPay service rather than directly linking a personal card, which significantly reduces the risk of bans related to payment methods. Using agency accounts provides several advantages:- Lower risks of bans: These accounts have high trust levels, making them less likely to be banned, even for riskier ad campaigns.
- Unlimited daily spending: Unlike standard accounts, agency accounts often allow unlimited daily ad budgets.
- Financial flexibility: If an account does get banned, you can withdraw your funds or transfer the balance to another account, minimizing losses.
