I understand if there were multiple accounts used... Just to Clarify - I am not touting for the player or Casino... I just want clarity...
The multiple account issue is there for bonus abusers as mentioned earlier right? So if somebody's son (Im not saying this is the case with the above post) made the multiple accounts and somebody else deposited and won - why was this only picked up when a withdrawal was requested... surely they should have prevented the person from depositing first???
If the deposit was accepted and lost - would they refund and lock the account?... Or... would this then mean that only on his next withdrawal attempt the account would be locked??? What is the purpose of the multiple account rule - aside from Bonus abuse...
Anyone care to clarify?
Spot on....great question.
And yes, the "multiple account" clause should only be in place for those players that take a bonus. If I have 100 friends over playing from the same computer, each with a different account;
and nobody played with a bonus, there should be no reason for the casino to deny any sort of withdrawal. This is assuming that each and every person used their own cc/debit card/whatever.
I can't speak for
all casinos, but most all of the ones I have ran into, well, the only thing they check to see if you have a duplicate account is to check your email address and see if it's registered to another account. They should be going by street address, and street address only.
Case in point - Pokerstars. You could make 1,000 accounts, as long as you have a unique email address for each one.
With dynamic IP's, there's no way they could prevent new players from joining, based simply on their IP address. They'd be blocking out 90% of new players if they did, simply because their ISP is the same, and they lived in the same area.
