Does Dribbble Allow Multiple Accounts? What the Guidelines and Terms Say
Does Dribbble allow one person to have more than one account?
Not for personal accounts. Dribbble's Community Guidelines (read 3 October 2026) allow each user "a single personal account" and rule out opening extra ones for different kinds of design work. Work that belongs to a group goes on a Team profile, which the Guidelines reserve for design agencies and in-house design teams.
The one-account rule is stated in the Guidelines, and the Terms of Service (marked updated 17 March 2025) add the sharing, automation and impersonation rules below. Dribbble can change its pages at any time, and the Terms put the duty to review them regularly on the user, so read the current text before you rely on this summary.

What can happen to an account
- Community Guidelines: Dribbble says it takes down offending content and may suspend the account for good. It adds that it can suspend access for a time or permanently, without warning.
- Terms, section 13: Dribbble may monitor user activity for compliance, security and fraud detection, may set usage limits, and may suspend or end your access without notice for any reason, including a violation in its sole determination, or for no reason. You stay bound by the Terms afterwards.
- Account Suspensions article: suspension is described as mainly for breaching the Guidelines or Terms, with seven common reasons listed, and repeated violations can lead to a permanent suspension. The article describes no separate appeal form; the route it gives is Dribbble Support.
- Rate limits: an account disabled for hitting a limit waits out a 24 hour hold. That is separate from a suspension.
- Reports: a moderation team reviews each report. The Help Center asks people not to flag suspected bot users, because Dribbble says it monitors that on its own.
What the pages do not spell out
The pages read for this guide do not say how Dribbble finds extra accounts, what happens to an extra account once it is found, or whether a suspended user can appeal anywhere other than through Support. Where a page is silent, do not guess from forum posts: ask Dribbble Support, and treat the Guidelines and Terms as the rules that apply.
A checklist for staying inside the rules
- Keep one personal account per person, and make sure every account is yours.
- Put group work on a Team profile and add people to it, rather than passing a password around. The setup is in managing a Dribbble Team.
- Never hand over, lease or trade an account or a username.
- Do not use bots or scripts. The Rate Limits article also warns that a browser extension can make many more requests than you expect, so review your extensions.
- Keep profile details truthful: the Guidelines bar known false information such as follower counts, and a name stuffed with keywords, an email address or a web address.
- Read the Guidelines and Terms again now and then.
If your account is suspended or restricted
Contact Dribbble Support, as the Help Center instructs; it says Support can give instructions to regain access if appropriate. The Terms point to the Help Center and to a support ticket for questions about the Terms, the services, accounts or billing. Do not create another account to carry on.
A limited account is a different matter: Dribbble says basic accounts are limited from features reserved for Designer accounts, and you can apply for a free Designer account. The causes and fixes are in why a Dribbble account is limited, disabled or locked out.
Where ADSSPEED fits
ADSSPEED is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that manages many browser profiles. Every profile keeps its own cookies, local data and browser settings, so the accounts you manage can stay signed in side by side without signing each other out, and data stays on your own computer. It does not change what Dribbble allows: one personal account per user, no shared logins and no automation. Use it only with accounts you own or are authorised to manage, and follow Dribbble's rules. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Dribbble.
Frequently asked questions
Does Dribbble allow multiple accounts?
Not for personal accounts. The Community Guidelines allow one personal account per user and rule out extra personal accounts for different kinds of design work. Design agencies and in-house design teams use Team profiles for shared work.
Can I share my Dribbble login with a team or a client?
No. The Terms rule out giving your login or account access to anyone else, clients and teammates included, unless extra terms for your account type say it is allowed. The Guidelines add that personal accounts are not to be shared.
Can I open a new Dribbble account after a suspension?
The Terms say the website and services are not available to users Dribbble has previously removed. The Account Suspensions article tells suspended users to contact Support, which can give instructions to regain access if appropriate.
Can I buy or sell a Dribbble account or username?
No. The Username Policy rules out trying to trade accounts or usernames for payment and says it may lead to suspension or removal. The Terms also bar handing your account to someone else by transfer, rental or sale.
Are bots or scripts allowed on Dribbble?
The Guidelines rule out bots and scripts that like, save, follow or otherwise engage for you, and the Terms bar automated access that sends more requests than a person could with an ordinary browser. Dribbble also says it watches for bot usage itself.
Is a Dribbble Team a second account?
A Team is a separate profile rather than a second personal account. Dribbble limits Team profiles to design agencies and in-house design teams, requires every team member to work for the agency or team, and says Team Owners may not be paid in return for seats.
