🚫 Short Answer: No, You Can’t — And Here’s Why
At Gig.tn, each user is allowed only ONE account. Whether you're a buyer, freelancer, or both, you must manage everything from a single profile.
Creating or using multiple accounts is a direct violation of our Terms of Use and can lead to permanent suspension of all associated accounts.
But why is this rule so strict?
Let’s break it down.
🧠 Why One Account Per Person?
Online freelance platforms — especially escrow-based ones like Gig.tn — require trust, transparency, and clear accountability. Here’s why allowing multiple accounts puts the entire system at risk:
1. ❌ It Creates an Unfair Advantage
Some freelancers create multiple accounts to:
Post the same gig several times
Manipulate search visibility
Farm fake reviews or ratings
Appear as “multiple professionals” to dominate a niche
This behavior dilutes trust and creates unfair competition for honest freelancers.
2. ❌ It Enables Manipulation & Fraud
When someone has more than one account, they can:
Place fake orders on themselves
Leave positive reviews from dummy accounts
Dispute payments or mislead clients
Re-register after being banned
This is textbook platform abuse, and it hurts everyone — especially real clients looking for real services.
3. ❌ It Breaks the Verification & Escrow System
Each verified account must pass a KYC (Know Your Customer) process to post gigs or withdraw funds.
Multiple accounts mean:
Duplicate KYC info
Risk of identity abuse or stolen info
Fake users accessing buyer protection systems
Gig.tn’s escrow, payment, and verification tools are built around the concept of 1 identity = 1 account. Breaking this breaks the system.
🚔 What Happens If You’re Caught With Multiple Accounts?
Gig.tn monitors account behavior — and we detect duplicates through:
IP address and device history
Email and phone re-use
Behavior patterns across orders
Document re-submission during KYC
If you're caught:
All your accounts may be permanently banned — including any with good reviews or active orders
Pending withdrawals will be blocked
Buyers who placed orders with you may be refunded
Future attempts to register may be blacklisted
🟡 What About Multiple Roles (Buyer + Freelancer)?
You can absolutely:
Buy services and sell services from the same account
Use different dashboards: freelancer dashboard and buyer interface
Manage orders and gigs together in one place
In fact, we encourage users to explore both sides of the platform — just not with two separate accounts.
⚠️ What If You Already Created More Than One by Mistake?
We understand that some users accidentally register more than once (e.g., via Facebook and Google, or multiple emails).
If this happens:
Stop using the duplicate immediately.
Contact Gig.tn support.
Request to merge or delete the extra account.
As long as it wasn’t done to game the system, we’ll work with you to fix the issue.
✅ Final Advice
One account per person = Fair marketplace. Secure system. Real trust.
If you ever feel the urge to create a second account:
Ask yourself why.
If it’s to cheat the system, it’s not worth the risk.
If it’s by accident or for a legit reason, contact support.
Let’s keep Gig.tn clean, secure, and trustworthy — for you and everyone else using it to build something real.
