The message indicates your account is not in the same country/region as the inviter, so you cannot join.

Make sure you're signed in to the correct account, then check the country/region in your payment profile.

Step 2

Step 3: Check if there are multiple payment profiles (different countries)

Click the dropdown menu at the top-right. If you see multiple profiles with different countries, your account region may be mixed.
