If a new Google Play developer account is terminated one month after successful publishing, will it be flagged as high-risk behavior due to account association?

As of 2025, the most common risk issue on Google Play Developer Console remains “Issue found: High Risk Behavior”. Account suspension caused by high-risk behavior are a common issue, and it is not advisable to frequently write articles on this topic to attract traffic. From February to March 2025, we successfully launched multiple new developer accounts, and we can confidently say that we have an 80% success rate in avoiding high-risk association issues. However, no one can guarantee a 100% success rate for bulk app submissions. Anyone claiming a 100% success rate is likely exaggerating.

In the case below, the app was successfully launched for only 31 days before being suspended, without even having the chance to update or iterate. Today, we’ll continue to discuss this issue in detail.

This case went through the review process relatively smoothly. After submitting for review, we waited about 5 days before receiving a rejection notice. After addressing the issues, it was approved shortly thereafter. However, other developer accounts submitted for review around the same time are still pending approval as of the publication of this article. This particular app can be considered a “test package,” as we didn’t have high expectations for its “result” and didn’t even expect it to pass the review. As a result, we used the lowest-quality resources for it. Surprisingly, it turned out to be the first new developer account to get approved.

During the same period, other accounts submitted for review were the ones we had high hopes for, and we allocated the best resources to them. Even now, some of these highly anticipated new accounts are still stuck in the review process. The account in this case was still terminated one month after passing the review, which was unexpected for us. Because we haven’t encountered such a situation for a long time (new accounts being terminated and apps being removed within a few months after successful publishing). Therefore, based on past successful experiences, it is extremely rare to see cases where an account survives for only a month.

In recent months, we have almost always registered new developer accounts, and have not taken the currently popular route of “purchasing old accounts” because of the long-term high demand, the uneven quality of old accounts, and the very expensive prices. I think old accounts are only suitable for teams with high profits, tight timelines, and the need for rapid trial and error.

At present, we have basically understood the reasons why the account of this case was terminated due to high risk, and will interpret and analyze it in the subscription member content.
