# What happens if my account is under review?

Noticed that your [EarnLab](https://earnlab.com/) account is under review? Don't panic—here's what that means and what you can expect.
## **What Does "Under Review" Mean?**
When your account is under review, it means our team is taking a closer look at your account activity. This is a security measure designed to protect both you and the integrity of our platform.
During a review, certain account functions may be temporarily limited, such as:
* Processing withdrawal requests
* Accessing some features
## **Why Is My Account Under Review?**
There are several reasons why an account might be flagged for review:
**Unusual Activity Patterns:** Our security systems may have detected activity that differs from normal usage patterns.
**Large or Frequent Withdrawals:** Requesting a large withdrawal or multiple withdrawals in a short period can trigger a manual review.
**Potential Terms of Service Concerns:** If our systems detect activity that may not comply with our [Terms of Service](https://earnlab.com/terms), your account will be reviewed.
**Security Protection:** Sometimes reviews are triggered to protect your account from potential unauthorized access.
## **What Should I Do?**
If your account is under review:
**Be patient:** Our team works to complete reviews as quickly as possible. Most reviews are resolved within 24-48 hours.
**Check your email:** We may reach out if we need additional information from you.
**Don't create multiple accounts:** Creating a new account while your main account is under review is a violation of our Terms of Service and will result in all accounts being banned.
**Avoid suspicious activity:** Continue using the platform normally and avoid any actions that might raise additional concerns.
## **What Happens After the Review?**
Once our team completes the review, one of the following will happen:
**Account Restored:** If everything checks out, your account will be fully restored and any pending withdrawals will be processed.
**Additional Information Requested:** In some cases, we may contact you to verify certain details before restoring your account.
**Account Suspended:** If our team finds evidence of Terms of Service violations, your account may be suspended. You'll be notified of the reason, and you can refer to our guide on [appealing a ban](https://help.earnlab.com/en/article/can-i-appeal-a-ban-or-suspension-djidwc/) if you believe the decision was made in error.
## **How to Avoid Future Reviews**
To minimize the chances of your account being flagged for review:
* Follow all EarnLab and offerwall [Terms of Service](https://earnlab.com/terms).
* Avoid using VPNs, proxies, or tools that mask your location.
* Don't create multiple accounts.
* Complete offers legitimately without using fraudulent methods.
* Be respectful in community spaces like the chat.
