    Depending on the severity of the violation, you may or may not receive a warning before you're permanently banned from the app. Some activities that can result in a ban: [1]
    • Commercial activity, such as selling or promoting goods/services or sharing links to subscription services like Patreon or OnlyFans.
    • Recruiting or soliciting for adult entertainment.
    • Providing Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, or other money exchange links for financial support. [2]
    • Rude or disrespectful behavior, including hate speech, body shaming, racism, misogyny, sexual harassment, bullying, and disrespecting boundaries.
    • Doing anything illegal.
    • Using Bumble to promote your social media accounts or non-Bumble projects.
    • Spamming, which includes sending the same message to everyone you match with—Bumble will think you are a bot.
    • Deleting your account and signing up again multiple times.

    Visit https://bumble.com/help-search#contact-us in a web browser and fill out the form to create a support ticket. Let Bumble know the reason why you believe your account was banned in error and attach any proof to support your claim.
    • You can also contact Bumble support on Twitter. Their help account is @BumbleSupport, and you can reach them Monday through Thursday, 9 AM-8 PM, and Friday through Sunday 10 AM-6 PM (CST). [3]

    If you violated Bumble's policies, their decision is final. However, sometimes other peoples' shady actions can result in you being banned. If you think any of these situations apply to you, be sure to provide details when contacting Bumble:
    • You recently got a used phone or phone number that was connected to a banned account.
    • Your account, phone, or computer is compromised.
    • People think you are catfishing. [4] For example, actress Laverne Cox was banned from another dating app, Hinge, because moderators didn't believe the profile was really hers. [5]
    • Retaliation. Some dating app users might get banned because malicious people abuse the "report" feature to get back at them for not responding, blocking them, or reporting harassment.
    • Moderators (or an algorithm) mistakenly thought you were advertising a service.

    When Bumble permanently bans you from their service, the ban is attached to all of your identifying information, including your phone number, email address, payment method, IP address, linked Facebook account, and photos. Unless you create a new account using all different information, including a new phone number and all new photos, you'll likely be banned again shortly after creating your account.
    • Reddit users who've been banned by Bumble suggest that Bumble uses facial recognition to detect banned users. This means that even if your photos are different from the ones you were using at the time you were banned, they can still be linked to your old photos.
