Multiple Screen Names

  Is it "WGT Correct", permissible, to be the same player with multiple screen names?

  Doesn't seem right.

   

  Just got beaten by a Level 11 Hack on Best of Par 5 Holes. I'm 57 - Tour Pro. (-5, -3)

  This person admitted to having more than one name on WGT through

  play chat.  I have both names. 

   

  When I inquired as to why "she" had 2 names, she replied, "I'm a no credit driver?"

  Suggested to me... an easy credit scenario coming up through ranks quickly?  Not

  sure how.

   

  I guess having different IP Adresses makes it easy for players to cheat.

  Felt "bad" to be working so hard to learn, then being trashed by a less than

  honest player.

  Match Play games for credits or Ready Gos. Keep learning, join a CC and establish a friends list of players you meet in AS play-ones you know. 

  This is sandbagging and while it's not typical, it is prevalent. Don't let it spoil your enthusiasm.

  welcome to the wonderful world of WGT !! they know that it is happening. but they can still advertise how many millions of players they have. to be honest they could easily eliminate at least 70 % of their multi-memberships and still boast about having over 1 million players. Pick your friends and play them regularly - that is where you will have the most fun. Play often - have fun !!

  NO. Having multiple accounts is prohibited in the T&C.

  Send a report to WGT and give them both names and they can deal with it.

  Yup it is a way of life here mate. Stay away from any credit type matches. Do not play ready gos, MPC, or skins.

  At your tier and level the multis are running rampant. Do not play for credits until you reach legend tier. Unless you like to be robbed.

  Play with friends and whatnot and enjoy the game. Would not be worried to much about it. So many of them now WGT has lost control.

  Just play and have fun.
