The mobile version of the classic card game has long become the standard for millions of users, but sometimes there is an urgent need to start all over again. The reasons may be different: from the desire to correct statistical indicators and ratings to the loss of access to the old account or a banal desire to change the gaming style. Creating a new profile in this case, it becomes the only logical way out of this situation, however, the developers have provided mechanisms that tie progress to the device.
Unlike simple applications, where it is enough to delete and install the app again, here the system uses more complex identifiers. Android ID, advertising identifier and linking to social networks - all this creates a digital trace that prevents you from simply “resetting to zero”. To register a new playeryou will need to not just reinstall the application, but take a comprehensive approach to clearing the data of your device or emulator.
In this guide we will analyze all the current methods, ranging from simple actions inside the interface to technical manipulations with system files. Security of your data and compliance with the rules of the service remain a priority, so we will only consider legal methods that do not require the use of malware or hacking. Prepare for the fact that the process will require care and sequential implementation of steps.
Analysis of the reasons for blocking and linking your account
Before proceeding with technical actions, you need to clearly understand why the system does not allow you to just register. Unique device identifier (Device ID) is the main parameter that servers use to recognize the user. Even if you change the IP address, the phone itself will remain “recognized”, and registration will be impossible or will lead to instant blocking.
Often users are faced with a situation where the old account is linked to a Google Play Games account. In this case, when you try to log in, the system will automatically authorize you under your old nickname, ignoring attempts to create a new one. Data synchronization in the Google cloud is a powerful tool for saving progress, but in this context it becomes an obstacle. You will need to either unlink the application from the Google Play service or use another Google account.
⚠️ Attention: If your previous account was blocked by the administration for violating the rules (cheating, insults), creating a new account from the same device may lead to a permanent hardware ban (Device Ban). In such cases, the use of the main smartphone is highly not recommended.
It is also worth considering that IP address plays a secondary but important role. If you are on the same Wi-Fi network that has previously been compromised, the security system may consider your actions suspicious. Using mobile traffic instead of Wi-Fi often helps avoid problems with network filters and increases the chances of successful registration.
Basic method: clearing data and application cache
The simplest and most accessible method, which is worth trying first, is to completely clear application data. This method doesn't always work, especially on newer versions of Android, but it's a necessary first step before more drastic measures. You need to delete all local files that store information about your current session.
To perform this operation, go to the settings of your smartphone. Find the section Applications or Applications and notifications, then find the desired card game in the list. Inside the application menu, select Storage or Memory. Here you will need two critical buttons: Clear cache and Clear data (or Reset).
☑️ Check before resetting
After pressing the button Clear data, the application will return to the state as if it had just been installed. However, if saved on the device Google Play Games ID, when starting, the game may again offer to restore the old profile. In this case, you must additionally go to the settings of the Google Play Games service itself, find the application there and delete it from there, breaking the connection.
It is important to understand the difference between deleting an application and clearing data. Simply deleting an icon from the desktop often leaves some configuration files in memory. The method through the system settings Settings → Applications → [Game name] → Storage is more reliable. After completing these steps, try starting the game and going through the initial setup again.
Using emulators and virtual spaces
If clearing data on the main device did not help or you do not want to risk your main account, the best solution is to use Android emulators on a PC or virtual spaces on the phone itself. These tools create a completely isolated environment, which the game servers perceive as a completely new device with a unique ID.
Emulators like BlueStacks, NoxPlayer or LDPlayerare popular on computers. Their main advantage is the ability to create multiple instances (multi-window). Each running instance of the emulator has its own unique characteristics: IMEI, phone model, screen resolution and Android ID. This is an ideal way create a new accountwithout affecting the main smartphone.
| Tool | Type | Difficulty | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| BlueStacks / Nox | Emulator on PC | Low | High |
| Parallel Space | Cloner application | Low | Average |
| Sandbox | Virtual environment | Average | High |
| Root + Device ID Changer | System modification | High | Maximum |
For mobile devices there are cloner applications, such as Parallel Space or 2Accounts. They create a virtual copy of the operating system inside your phone. By installing the game inside such a virtual space, you will get an environment isolated from the main system. The game server will not see your real phone, but a virtual machine with changed parameters.
Why are emulators more effective than resetting?
Emulators generate a completely new set of hardware identifiers (IMEI, MAC address, Serial Number) each time a new instance is created. A regular data reset changes only software settings, but leaves unchanged the “hardware” device ID, which is often used for blocking.
When using emulators on a PC, it is also recommended to change the settings of the device model in the emulator itself. In the BlueStacks or Nox settings, you can select, for example, Samsung Galaxy S21 instead of the standard Generic Android. This makes the device profile even more unique and reduces the risk of automatic detection of multi-accounts by security systems.
Changing advertising identifier and Google account
A key element of identification in the Android ecosystem is the advertising identifier (GAID). Many games use it to track users and prevent the creation of multiple accounts. To successfully register a new playeryou need to reset this ID in the system settings.
The procedure for resetting an advertising ID varies depending on the version of Android, but the general path usually looks like this: Settings → Google → Advertising. In this menu you will find the button Reset advertising ID or Remove advertising ID. After performing this action, all applications, including card games, will see your phone as a device with a new advertising history.
Additionally, management is critical Google accounts. If the game is linked to Google Play Games, changing the main account on the device may not help if the old account remains in the list of saved accounts. You need to go to Settings → Accounts, select the old Google account and delete it from the device completely, leaving only a new, clean account for registration.
Do not forget that after changing the advertising ID and deleting accounts, it is recommended to restart the device. This ensures that all system services update their caches and start using the new identifiers. Only after a complete reboot does it make sense to launch the game and try to register.
Advanced methods: root access and changing Device ID
For experienced users who face severe restrictions, the only way out is to obtain root access (superuser rights). This gives you complete control over the Android system and allows you to change system files, including those that store the unique device identifier (Device ID). However, this method is fraught with risks and requires technical literacy.
After obtaining Root access (via Magisk or analogues), you can use specialized applications to change ID, for example, Device ID Changer or SMT. These utilities allow you to replace the real IMEI and Android ID with random values. For the game server, this will look like an input from a completely new smartphone, which allows you to bypass any hardware blocking.
⚠️ Attention: Obtaining root access will void the warranty on the device and can lead to unstable operation of the system. Some highly secure banking apps and games may refuse to work on rooted devices. Use this method only on secondary devices.
There is also a method of using Magisk modules such as Android Faker or Hide My Applist. They allow you to hide the fact of having root access from specific applications and replace device information on the fly, without globally changing system files. This is a safer way to create a new accountwhile remaining undetected by the game's security system.
Solving common problems during registration
Even if all instructions are followed, users may encounter errors. One of the most common problems is connection error or endless loading after changing ID. This is often due to the game "remembering" the old network settings or DNS cache. In such cases, clearing the DNS cache through the command ipconfig /flushdns (on a PC in the emulator) or switching to airplane mode for 10 seconds on the phone helps.
Another common error is “The account is already in use on this device,” even after all the manipulations. This means that the game found residual files in hidden folders Android/data or Android/obb. You need to manually check these directories through the file manager and delete the folders associated with the game if they are not automatically deleted during the reset.
If you are using an emulator and see an "unsupported device" message or graphical artifacts, try changing the graphics settings in the emulator itself. Switch the rendering mode from OpenGL to DirectX or change the amount of allocated RAM. The game often blocks registration on devices with non-standard screen resolutions.
Use different Wi-Fi networks or mobile data for each new account. If you create 5 accounts in a row from one IP address in 10 minutes, the security system is almost guaranteed to regard this as a bot attack and block registration.
It is also worth considering time restrictions. Some servers set a limit on the number of registrations from one IP or subnet per day. If you have reached this limit, no change of ID will help until 24 hours have passed. In this case the only solution is to wait or use proxy servers/VPN (although the latter can also be blocked).
FAQ: Frequently asked questions
Is it possible to create a new account without losing the old one?
Yes, it is possible. To do this, use the application cloning method (Parallel Space) or install the game on an emulator/second phone. The old account will remain on the main device, and the new one will exist in an isolated environment.
Will you be blocked for creating a second account?
The second account itself is not prohibited by the rules of most games. Blocking is only possible if you use the second account for dishonest play (collusion, transfer of cards, botting). If you just want to play for fun, blocking is unlikely.
Do you need a new phone number for registration?
In most cases, the game requires linking to a social network or Google account, and not to a phone number. However, if SMS confirmation is required, you will need a new number. Virtual numbers are often recognized and blocked, it is better to use a real SIM card.
Will progress be saved when resetting the advertising ID?
No, resetting the advertising ID does not affect saved progress if the game uses cloud saves (Google Play Games). Progress is tied to your Google Account, not your advertising ID. To start over, you need to delete your saves in Google Play Games.
The most reliable way to create a new account is to use an emulator on a PC or virtual space on Android, as this guarantees complete isolation from the main device and its identifiers.
