  Just curious, but how are these people cheating? Do they mess with the speed of our meter or alter your shot?

  Don't worry about all the people saying a lot of cheating is going on. There are some but it's definitely not the majority.  Cheating doesn't help you once you get on the green. And the REM deviations from a dinged shot has been increased.

  There are a lot of people on these forums that feel that since they can't shoot these low scores they must be cheating. Although I think some are like I said. The majority of the top earnings list are not. maybe one out of the top 20, I won't say who.

  A lot of people shout "Cheat" or "Vem" when they play badly. Just saying.

  Well in my view it could be a restart user, hard to say, and impossible to prove. Only wgt have the possibilty to pick out the multiaccounters ip-adresses as siteowner. No proxy firewall or whatever you have on your pc can stop wgt for look where you are when you log in, you set your foot-/fingerprint in the log!

  Actually Egon that's not true, due to my location I have to use a proxy server, and my IP address shows as whichever proxy site I choose, it would be a very poor proxy if it did anything else.

  Flash does not have to adhere to in browser proxy settings.

  That may be but no-one outside the VPN company know my 'real' IP address, as soon as I log on I go to my VPN, which is fully encrypted, only then can I go to another site, (I could use internal Chinese sites without it but many others are blocked). There is absolutely no trace of my real IP address anywhere for any human or programme to 'see'. Therefore Flash adhering, (or not) to brower settings is not the point, it does not and cannot know my 'real' IP address.

  The point is as much as I would love WGT to track and ban multi-accounters it really is near impossible due to widespread use of VPN's, and families playing from one PC, as well as some ISPs give apparently random IP addresses, or at least AOL used to I don't know if they still do.

  Sorry my misunderstanding I thought we were talking about proxy services alone, not VPN’s

  
  

  Your're spot on Chinajohn, correctly set up VPN connections, secured by outbound NAT, will divulge nothing, even if the VPN disconnects.
