    You better be careful because some guy was complaining that a book took all of his winnings after it was noted by the book (I forgot which book that was) that a number of accounts were opened from his computer. I think the book was going to refund his deposit only.

    I think most books only want one account per household computer.

    Ask them before you open an account rather than find out they frown upon it later. If you've got nothing to hide, you should be fine. Except if you try to use the two accounts to circumvent the limits or use both accounts to play out the bonus, that is.

    And make sure you get that in an Email too, because that way you might have some recourse if something ever occurs later down the road at some point.

    Ask them first - Cris is not going to care.

    Now if you max bet both accounts on all the same games, they might care.

    That being said, you can call in 6 figure bets to Cris, so I doubt max betting both accounts will be a big deal.

    If it is, buy a second computer.

    Will 2 computers from the same household, have the same ip address? Say a desktop that's wired direct to internet cable modem, then a wireless laptop?

    They have their online limits for a reason..of course they will care if you go around those limits that way
    My guess is that they will cut your general limit to something like 1k, that´s what they normally do if they think accounts that bet the same lines are connected..

    Default Two computers can have the same IP address

    Two computers in your house using the same router will have the same IP address. Also, be careful going to a place like Kinkos or the library and making bets, as your IP address may now match other bettors.

    I absolutely would not have two accounts on the same computer no matter what the sportsbook says. The sportsbook may not make good records of their conversation and latter come back and accuse you of having two accounts.

    You think that circumventing the online limits by using two accounts is OK since they take higher limits on the phone?

    Good luck for the future if that's your modus operandi.

    Some of these books use a digital "fingerprint" of your computer (not cookie or IP-address based) that they can use to uniquely identify a PC. They can then tie all users that have used that PC, and then all PCs linked to all those users (etc. etc.) to shut down them down.

    I have two accounts at several books but I asked everybody if it is fine. I prefer to have accounts in Euros and US$ if possible...

    Default Read the sportsbook's terms and conditions

    Almost every time I read the terms and conditions on these sites, including the A books, I see the same rule: "You may have one account per name, household, or IP address". If you get "special" permission, otherwise, this now creates a conflict between the oral permission, and/or email, and a written rule on their site. If this sportsbook ever has financial problems, you will probably be a target for a possible stiff, citing the rule on the site.

    I would absolutely not have more than one account per household, IP address, or name, regardless of what some clerk or lower level manager tells you, unless they send you a signed letter in writing through the regular mail system. Since this is such a common rule, even if it is not stated on the website, it could be added one day and not everyone is in the habit of checking SBR's rule monitor every day.

    Also, if you and your friends discuss and then bet the same teams, I would make sure the sum of the bets is below the book's maximum.

    You have been warned.

    Almost is the key word here Louis.

    If it's not specifically mentioned in a books rules you know some shot taker is going to try an exploit it. Now even though I don't agree with these types of things happening, I still say the player has a valid complaint.

    I assume Cris don't like you having 2 accs because I keep getting the double hit warning despite only having 1 acc with them.
