Does Power BI accept none college and work email addresses to use their services?

I would really like to sign in to Power BI and create my own personal dashboards, but all the email addresses that I've tried don't work

Hi @Red465jgnn3popj,

Based on my research, Power BI requires that you use a work, or school, email address to sign up. You cannot sign up got Power BI using email addresses provided by consumer email services or telecommunication providers. This includes outlook.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com and others. You could refer to below link:

@Red465jgnn3popj,

Because you need an Organizational Account to sign in to Power BI and publish your reports to Service

Thanks for your reply.

So if I wanted to create my own personal dashboard. For example if I wanted to keep track on video game scores or something. I wouldn't be able to use it for personal use on my mobile phone, I would have to be a part of a company or college?

Technically speaking, Yes!!! You should have some Organizational Account to use it....
