    I had this exact thing happen to me when I changed from a personal account to business adsense. UA-cam was infuriating to work with. They just kept doubling down on their obvious mistake with no explanation. Just keep demanding to have the case elevated to the next tier support and have it re-reviewed. Someone is able to do it even if they claim that its final. I had to talk to dozens of low level creator support before I got someone that would elevate it. Eventually they re-reviewed it and I was re-approved. Of course I still lost a couple thousand in revenue for the time my videos were de-monetized. I feel your pain. Good luck, I hope its sorted out soon.

    Same thing happened to Finn, my 18 yr old son. He’d been using my AdSense acct for his YT revenue, and when he turned 18 he tried to set up his own AdSense acct. They denied his request, demonetized his channel, and said he could try again in 30 days. He decided to stop putting videos out until he gets it sorted. He’s gonna just try to hop back onto my AdSense acct, for fear they deny him again. (His 30 days is almost up)
    I’m sorry you’re having to go thru this. Just don’t forget that we creators are slaves to the UA-cam conglomerate; they can shut us down for any reason at any time-if we say something offensive or politically incorrect or put something out there that they don’t like or agree with. Always make sure you have a separate source of income (get those sponsorships & integrated ads).

      I've been trying to warn them that they need to really take a serious Rethink on what they are planning to do, but they are refusing to listen. in fact they remind me of the large numbers of friends and neighbours I had who got Suckered in by the Self Sufficiency ideology of the 1970's and 2980's. Like them , I had a Smallholding, but was more interested un experimenting and testing, plus listened to the advice e of neighbours who had generations of farming experience on the same Land I had, so things like the Chronic Copper Deficiency of our Land altered how I approached growing things. I also knew that we had started the intensive use of NPK Fertiisers in 1820, and it was those that had driven the Victorian Golden Sge of Agriculture- with no I'll effects - which also blows Organic Growing out of the Water. So seeing Sail Life people making the same sort of mistakes is bloody heart breaking frankly. We're on the brink of really dramatic changes and they are throwing a Train zwreck Mil
      stone of a Project boat around their necks. just as the numbers of viewers of Boating Channels on UA-cam is Collapsing dramatically ? and frankly, it's a very bad sign that the only ones keeping their numbers up are the Sost Porn ones with bare flesh Tits and Bikinis as Click Bait ? They aren't even grasping what is happening to their own !arket ffs. It's really bloody discouraging frankly, and just like the damage friends and neighbours did to their Lives, with breaking up families, divorces, and forced selling of their properties, here comes another couple I really like, to add to that list ? Just because like the rest, they refuse to face Reality . 🤔😞

Duplicate accounts will not be approved and monetization will be turned off for the associated UA-cam channel. When starting a new AdSense for UA-cam account, only create one through UA-cam Studio. Doing so on another site (such as the AdSense homepage) will not work." I hope that helps...Hang in there. We love what you guys do and want you to continue.

Also, there was no issue going through the wizard (for swapping AdSense accounts). If it's something simple like that, it would be great, but Creator Support can't tell us what is wrong.

Reading contracts for the last 30 years all I can say is Google gets you into a "Catch 22" situation at almost every turn. At a quick glance of what could jam you up was having viewers click over another channel (Your new one) for support or advertising links that fall out of the policy for which. I'm searching for an on-line expert (Company) that can walk you through the process and paperwork, to speak of. If there is no such "expert" available, I might have found a side business to start.

    Hello Mads, I had a similar thing happen to me on Ebay. If you do something that the algorithm thinks is suspicious or potential fraud you will be locked out and nobody in their customer service will help you. The don't want to admit there is a problem with their application or loose face with the public. I would say the best option is to make a new account and move forward. You could waste a lot of time trying to get someone reasonable to help you and still come to a dead end. As Google is a gigantic company they hold all the cards.

    Changing emails and physical Adsense addresses in quick succession likely initiated an “account hijack” SOP and that’s why they won’t give you details because they don’t want to aid the wrong person or give insight into what triggers the process. Might be worth asking them if they need you to verify yourself.

    • @enmodo

      That's a good point. But you'd think if they believe someone is trying to hijack an account they would automatically reach out to the actual owner to verify themselves, especially for large subscriber count channels. I wonder how many bronze, silver, and gold channels there are? You'd think they would earn at least some increased support for all the revenue they have fed Google....

Why pay someone to make a considered judgement when you can just hire a tea lady to say no, and allow a computer program to make the real decision. I've been in so many meetings where rules based engine designers make stupid arbitrary decisions without thinking any further than morning tea time. Oh, I know, Rule 2. You can't have an apostrophe in a street name. So no one from O'Riordan Street can apply for a license! I'm not kidding here. Rule 3. You can't have a number in a street name.

    What you should have done was to do this: (1) Create a new AdSense account in USA with another email address, USD bank account, etc. (2) Create a new UA-cam channel with any URL (you will change); (3) Upload all of your existing videos to the new channel (a lot of work, I know). (4) After that, change the URL of your current (existing) channel to something else. (5) Then change the URL of your new USD channel to the URL that you used now and then keep both channels operating so that you are earning for existing video links on the Internet in Danish currency and moving forward you would publish to the USD channel... or you can publish to both (up to you). You can still do this and then attempt to get the earnings restored to the old (current) channel.

      And then you lose all data from all prior videos including the engagement data, crushing residual income as none will showup in suggestions. Not to mention that the new channel would have zero subscribers.
      Compounding the issue into many many many more issues is not a solution.

    Hopefully the information you learn from the Wynns and others who have had similar issues can help. I don't know the answer but I am confident someone can supply a contact that has delt with this before. You are not the only channel that has had this issue. These companies need to realize this is a two way relationship. They make revenue BECAUSE of you. You are a primary source of their success as well as your own. Business's need to understand, training their people to actually help their clients, instead of hiring a chair filler, is a win win model. This situation is pain is the ass. I know, but finding the right support individual is gold.

    Is their money in the adsense account? There might need to be some due diligence or tax issues transfering it between countries which maybe Adsense just isn't very good at processing. I'm speculating and have not been through this. My sense is these tech firms are great when there's a clear and easy process that can be automated, but where something is more complex and involves a human they don't seems to want to spend the money - I guess that's why they are so profitable.
