I have read some horror stories about people having issues

**Realitybitez** · 9th February 2012, 09:00 PM

with casinos when trying to cash out, when they have played their games elsewhere (using someone's elses ISP). Is this really a problem?

I had an idea the other day (which at the time I thought was a great idea) was to transfer all my casinos onto an external hard drive and then I could cart them around with me. Man that sounds bad

Therefore when Im at someone's house or even out of town, I can just hook my external drive up on their computer and play whenever and where ever. Well that was the idea

And of course, it will free up some space on my PC which is overloaded with casinos

So would things really get complicated if I actually won on my travels and I had played the casino games elsewhere

Just wondering

A few casinos will allow you to play somewhere else, but not all of them.
The best thing you can do is ask them first. If they say it's okey then you know it.

When I went to Holland last summer I only asked support at 32Red if it was okey.
They said it was okey, but after a week I got a mail from them asking if it was really me playing

I said yes, so no problem.

Just be careful. At Rival you could get a bann all over their software, and at Rushmore you can't even log in. So it's different at different casinos.

hmmm interesting. But good idea! Ask on their support first if ok

I will keep that in mind. Thank you

My computer and Internet are slow as heck, so I would hate to re download all my casinos on to my external hard drive, and then find out, thats its just going to cause major issues if I play elsewhere and not really worth the bother so best to ask ahead

I should probably hit them all up now!

Yes it can cause problems playing from a different location other than your usual. You could always clear it with the casino before you play to be on the safe side.

Also IP addresses are given out by your ISP and it's not something that remains on your hard drive so carting around a hard drive has nothing to do with an IP address.

Here is some info on IP's and what they are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

You havn't thought of the fact that your PC might be slow
because of all the casinos you have on it?

Well I thought that playing elsewhere would mean I would need to use someones elses ISP which of course would allot me a totally different IP address, however I was just wondering if it would cause problems

Heres an interesting thought. What if you went to a Internet Cafe, and played the flash casino version in there? Actually what happens if you created your Casino account at the Internet cafe? Then you wouldnt have a static IP address

Well ok thats just a theory but how would a casino know what your main IP address is if you did create your account at a Internet Cafe?

Ok, Im not very technical so lots of guess work here and probably explaining it all wrong

It did occur to me

thats the main reason I want to transfer them to an external hard drive

They're taking up too much space and use too much of my pcs resources. Doesnt help my computer is as old as the hills

I have played hooked up via my home connection, a portable aircard, and a hospital internet connection with no problems. I have downloaded the casinos on a thumb drive and played on different computers.

However, each and every time I am not playing from my regular home connection, I contact customer service via the website before ever logging in and let them know what is going on.

I do it before logging in because that way if they say there will be a problem, I haven't really done anything cause I haven't logged in.

I don't think you will have a problem if you ask first before you do anything.

Basically what is said is the best way to go, mainly ask the CS or your vip manager if it;s ok and then youll know.
About the technicalities if using a static ip or not etc, i wouldn't know but if your just looking to play from different places,
which i do regularly, just ask!
I know for a fact that with 3Dice, and 32Red, it's no problem as long as you ask

+ iPad, online, mobile phone, while I am at work, seminar, family holiday ( yes I am addicted) ... It's normally my regulars like Bellerock casinos, Nordicbet and Royal Vegas. I won big chunks from the Gaming Club and Jackpotcity while on holidays. The MG network has a lot of the slots available online now (non download version) ...has come a long way since I started.

Having said that, what anniemac said also:

One problem I had was I got locked out when I was trying to login from my lounge room computer but forgot I was still logged in my studio computer upstairs. Make sure you log off if you are using multiple computers from the same IP.
