Hey all, as many of you want to re-roll I decided to make a guide on how to do it in iOS devices.
Those on android devices have it easy, just sign out of google account and sign in with another one.
With iOS devices there are a few more steps to do.
First of all go to Settings then Game Center. Click on your Apple ID and click Sign Out.
Your screen will then look something like this.
Click on home button then go to App Store.
Make sure it's on the featured tab.
Scroll down till you see your Apple ID. Click on it then click Sign Out.
Your screen will then look like this.
Click on Sign In then click Create New Apple ID.
Choose your country.
iTunes store T&C will appear. Scroll all the way down then click Agree.
A pop up will appear. Click Agree.
Fill up your details.
An email will be sent to your email address. Make sure your email address is valid to complete apple account process.
Go to Settings, Game Center, and sign in with your new Apple ID.
And voila! All done, now click on SWGOH app and u will have a brand new account!
Edit:
To enable purchases go to Settings, iCloud, Family.
Click on the Organizer and make sure the Share My Purchases is enabled.

The reason why I outlined the steps to make a new apple ID and then sign in the Game Center is that all your progress in then saved into that Game Center account. If you log out of Game Center there will be a new game but the progress won't be saved and if you get a new phone in the future there's no way to recover that account.
That's why it's better to always be logged in the Game Center so that progress is linked and any purchases made won't be lost.
The game automatically loads the account that you last logged into if you don't sign out manually using the settings menu. Then if you ever want to switch to your other account you can do so through the gear icon. I turn off all the sync settings for my alt accounts and so my alt accounts don't hassle me at all.
@Naberrie Go to settings then Game Center. Do you see your Apple ID there? If yes then your progress has been saved to that Apple ID so you can never lose your progress. You will be able to access that account through any iOS device.
If you don't see any Apple ID there then your account hasn't been linked to your Apple ID so if you lose your phone or if your phone is damaged you lose your progress. If there were no Apple ID signed in the Game Center and you were to make a new one you will then start a brand new account.
It's always a good idea to take a screenshot of your player ID in game just in case something happen and you want to recover your account. Click on the gear icon to the left of player level in game and you will see your player ID. Press the home button and sleep/wake button at same time to take a screenshot. The screenshot will be found in Photos.
Can I just wipe out my last apple ID somehow and keep using the same email address over and over?
It appears that's just something that happens when you first run the game and get past he tutorial. Everything seems to be ok.
I set up family sharing, and am logged into both my icloud and game center under my new account. However I don't have any of the character cards I bought, the crystal purchases etc.
Do I have access to these or do they not transfer over?
Thanks
You created a new account. So you now have your new account and old account. The purpose of rerolling is to start over from scratch. There's no way to use characters from your old account on your new account. The only way to access your purchased currency and characters is to log out and log back into your old account.
I have a question for the forum: I start a new account, I pass all the starting stuff, I beat light/easy map #1 and #2, and light/hard #1.
I have 327 gems and am sitting around level 7. How do I get 350 gems without reaching level 8?? If I complete any further daily tasks or anything, I break level 8 and am entered into the arena.
But that isn't mentioned in the original post. I want to be able to reroll multiple times until I get my hero I want, ya know? If I have to wait a day or more every time I reroll an account, and it takes me 20 rerolls, that's almost a month. I'm not that dedicated lol. I just log in and play every day.
PSA
YOU CAN ONLY CREATE THREE ICLOUD ACCOUNTS PER IOS DEVICE. Once you have hit the three accounts, you won't be able to make anymore. To circumvent this, you need to go to the Apple website and create a new ID for each reroll. From the Apple website, you're also limited on how many iCloud emails you can create.
The best way I found is to create a free email somewhere else, create an Apple ID with the free email, and then log into Game Center on your iOS device.
I used mail.com for free emails but even mail.com will cut you off from creating new accounts after a certain amount. You can use any free proxy to bypass that though. They only limit your new mail.com email account creations based off your IP.
KEY NOTE: ONLY LOG INTO GAME CENTER ON YOUR IOS DEVICE. If you log into iCloud on your iOS device, you will hit that 3-account-activation limitation. You don't care about iCloud anyway since you're only making new accounts for Game Center for rerolling.
Update on this -- To get 350 gems and get that first guaranteed character (the whole reason you're rerolling), without hitting level 8 and getting entered into the arena, do the following:
Hope that clears up some confusion for other new people like me. Cheers.
EDIT: Here are my rerolls I've made so far, in order. Each hero equals a new account and that account's first 350 crystal chromium pack purchased:
Nopes, the Guest Account is bound to your Device ID. Unless you know an easy way to jailbreak your iPhone and change its Device ID.
