  Is there a legal way for my roomie to make an account and can we play vs each other?

   

  Sure, my nephew (lives next door with my mom) uses my WiFi to play WGT (and all things internet)...pretty sure that makes us both on the same ISP?

  he only way i see to end cheating and multi-accounts is to do way with the credit games and even then some would still cheat

   

  Some just have to see their name on top of the pile by any means.

   

  Although without credit games, I'd have to say farewell, RG's keep me here..I don't have the patience (too often) to try surveys/videos/etc....and no way would I give up a Subway gift card for a few sleeves of Nikes;)

  To me this is a MASSIVE multi account LOOPHOLE which can be abused to the MAX(irons).  I could open 4 accounts from my home send WGT my wife & daughters ID, heck i might even say uncle Bob and my grandmother lived with me as well, not to difficult to do if i could obtain their drivers licence.  

  Could wax lyrical on this subject for paragraphs..!!!!

  Me and mine have got the sh*tty end of the stick with WGTs pathetic attempt to plug this glaring loophole....but as the decision is subjective and down to ppl who can't seem to find their ass from their elbow..it forever will be an exercise in futility to discuss or enforce ?

  This is not a post attacking any body, what players do to beat the system is none of my business, (but boosts WGT's business.LOL)

  It was brought to my attention a suspected player who had multiple accounts had his/her account disabled by WGT (good on them for at least doing SOMETHING) but found that the account was up and running again because this player told WGT that his parents play, his 3 brothers play and sent WGT Id's for his/her family so they re enabled the account.  (Getting tips from the family was probably why they scored 62 on day they joined.lol) lets give benefit of doubt this can happen at times but winning loads of credits with low scores immediately does raise an alarm wouldn't you think??

  To me this is a MASSIVE multi account LOOPHOLE which can be abused to the MAX(irons).  I could open 4 accounts from my home send WGT my wife & daughters ID, heck i might even say uncle Bob and my grandmother lived with me as well, not to difficult to do if i could obtain their drivers licence.  Plenty of youngsters 16+ love to play x box and a lot of them like to use cheats to play their games to get infinite ammo etc etc so they would not think twice about learning this game and then finding out how to beat the system, same with a parent who plays this game and gets to legend and thinks he could beat the system by starting new account and saying its his sons.  What can WGT do?  This is a massive loophole and i cant really see how WGT can combat it?  basically the flood gates are wide open and you only have to look at some low tiered ready go's at players who are level 25 and scoring sub 60's.  I know players adapt differently to this game, but honestly it took me a while to be able to learn wind, putting and how to take good approaches and to see players scoring 60 on day they joined is blatantly obvious to me and the rest of us. Looking at low tiered tournaments and ready go's you will see more than half of entrants obvious 2nd accounts.  With loopholes like this there's going to be even more.  poor WGT, no way can they combat this any more so its just going to get even worse. What can wgt do? should they just give up on it because it seems impossible to me??

  Don't know the particulars about this case, but the only way we open the accounts back up, is if they provide proof there are more then one player in the household.  This usually involves them sending very private information.  We don't just take their word for it.

  He said that they had to send copies of their drivers licenses'. How much more private would you get?

   

  How easy would it be for a kid to go grab his mom's ID from her purse and scan it real quick?

  I turned a couple of guys at work onto this game, if it blocks by more than one IP accessing, how does that work? Are we going to get banned because we all play on our lunch breaks or a slow day at work?
