However, fedota did receive another sign-up bonus (sometimes these things do happen) and, after I spoke with the Risk department, it was agreed that they will pay fedota $100 of the winnings, even though the account will remain closed.
The terms and conditions of the free offer that fedota received do state that only $100 can be withdraw from any winnings.
Thanks

In effect, fedota WAS paid, and IN FULL according to the terms of the free chip offer. Although MGS casinos generally do NOT have max cashouts, many DO have a cap on winnings that can be paid to a player who has been granted a free chip, but NEVER deposited.
I read from this that it was duplicate accounts at the SAME casino, and that the free chip that produced the win should never have been granted in the first place.
I very much doubt that different players would all use the SAME email address, even though there are circumstances in which they might have the same IP address allocated to them when registering.
The "one per household" rule is ALWAYS going to catch out innocent players because many players keep their gambling habits secret from their partners, as well as other members of the household. You CAN therefore get different members of a household signing up at the same casino thinking they are the only one who has done it, but this would NEVER be the case if they were all using the same email address, as they would see that another household member had already opened an account.
