Seeking guidance on Ads policy enforcement.

My ASIN was recently marked ineligible for Sponsored Ads under the Alcohol / Restricted Content policy because it was originally interpreted as a “drinking game / alcohol related product.”

Since then, I have:

• Completely removed any mention of alcohol, drinking, “chug,” “shotgun,” etc.
• Updated the title, bullets, description, images, and A+ to be fully compliant
• Removed all age-restricted language
• Repositioned the product as a general party game device, not alcohol-specific

Despite this, my ASIN remains permanently ineligible for advertising, with Ads Support repeatedly responding with generic “policy violation” messages and no specific guidance on what still needs to be fixed.

At the same time, a competing ASIN, which is extremely similar in design and branding, is actively running Sponsored Ads while:

• Explicitly using terms like “CHUG,” “drinking game,” and “21+”
• Showing beer cans in the images
• Promoting alcohol consumption directly

So I’m stuck in a situation where my listing is blocked, and a clearly non-compliant competitor is advertising freely.

My questions:

1. Has anyone successfully gotten an ASIN reinstated for ads after an alcohol/restricted content ban?
2. Is there a specific escalation path that actually works for Ads policy (not the generic Ads Support loop)?
3. Is there a way to request a policy consistency appeal so enforcement is applied equally across similar ASINs?

I just want a fair and consistent application of the rules.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

so basically I am a brand owner, and I recently have my listings(8 products) up on amazon , on a niche that is not widely being used, I am totally new to amazon ads and the world of marketing, and was looking for a company or some people that will maybe take control entirely of the marketing and everything as partners, where we will make a deal by fair percentages and everything would be also legally done, are there any marketing companies or people like that?
thanks

Title. Obviously the two things do the same thing from the consumer’s perspective: they lower the price. But from a seller’s perspective, is there any difference? Which one generates more sales? I know there are costs associated with coupons ($5 upfront + 2.5% of the post-coupon price). Are there any costs associated with price discounts?

I’m curious about how Amazon’s acc ount at risk indicators behave over time.

I see warning banner in my Acc Health while other areas still show the account as healthy. there is no countdown or anything.

I’m interested in general experiences, not case-specific advice.

For those who have encountered similar warning indicators:

• Have you seen the acc punt at risk banners resolve on their own?
• Did they require action, or did they clear after a while?

Thanks — just trying to understand the system at a high level.
