I've had the same treatment from Google in the past. I was accused of clicking on my own ads when I had google ads in an old blog of mine. Which of course I wasn't, but despite an "appeal" (which let's be honest is a sham) they banned me from their ads service. Funny thing was I hadn't earned any money from the bloody ads... mental.

Sorry to hear about them blocking you from all google services, seems like a really harsh punishment to a simple mistake.

They should have just taken the app down and sent you an explanation along with a warning. Seems like the fairer approach to take.

Agreed, its really draconian.

That's utterly absurd. If it happen to me, I'd probably just create an account in the name of my mother / father / SO and call it a day.

I could but that would be against Googles Terms. I would then be at risk of getting the new account banned too.

I swear *everyone* I know who's used AdWords was banned "for clicking their own ads". I'm pretty sure Google just has a bot to randomly ban people with random reasons.

This is insane. I'm sorry u have been screwed by the fine print. Get dad on the case and get urself reinstated tho. U r too talented at making mobile games to stop because they have picked on u...u can download apps out of the play store, so tell us the link and we'll get ur games from there! Don't let the bastards win!

I hope you can never use google again after dobbing in other apps just because your app was wiped, how weak is that.
