@flying_pig So there isn't a big difference between them? I mean the meaning of them are the same but it will change depending on the context?
I've always wondered how different they are😭Is that also considered other pattern? Fx: "I'm not allowed "I don't allow"?

You use "they are not accepting" to refer to future events that are not held on a regular basis ONLY.
Overall, they mean the same, if the events are held regularly, or someone/somewhere accept you who/where are always there.
eg.
They are not accepting temporary reservations in some sessions of the 3-day New Year concert at the end of the month.
