If I understood they were banned from google ads (merchand center) because they used 2 accounts to promote the same activity, but if this is against the policy I don't understand what is the point, I don't think that the size of the market is a discriminant in the policy

Perhaps between "normal" and "insta-perma-death" they should have some intermediate state, like "suspended-for-a-week" or "under-parole".
This is Google we're talking about, where you can only talk to robots.
They're big enough to owe society better customer support than robots. Bust 'em up (antitrust), this ain't what a healthy market looks like.
I've talked several times to support after probably 30 clicks to get to a human and they are afraid of the rules. Google's support people doesn't provide support only can give you all their empathy for your situation
YouTube have some intermediate states for copyright violations, so it's possible.
