    Default Friend using my computer

    Hi guys

    My friend is going to be staying at my place for a few weeks between moving house and he plays on the same poker site as me (Full Tilt).

    We wont have his computer set up so obviously wont be playing online at the same time, but is there any risk of FTP getting pissed about another account logging in on my computer and detecting the same IP address or something? I'm not very techy minded lol, dunno how that stuff works.

    Just wanna make sure I'm not gonna risk getting banned or getting into trouble for letting him play on my computer while he is here.

    Cheers

    I got a small wireless network at home. I have had as many 4 people playing FTP and PS at the same time. So I don't believe you have anything to worry about.

    The catch is, per FTP customer service, multiple computers from the same IP address will not be allowed to sit at the same Ring game tables or to register for any tournaments/S&G's with less than 45 people.

    Anything above 45 people is open to multiple computers from one IP address.

    Hope this helps.

    You're fine as long as people with the same IP address don't end up on the same table.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    FTP don't allow that - I tried to play some NL10 with my dad and it wouldn't let me sit at the same table.

    Our office shares two internet lines and we definitely have a few people logged in at the same time (never playing during working hours...of course).

    It's never a problem, but I assume FTP wouldn't like it if you tried to sit at the same table.
    Well over $300,000 free every month in 2011 with freerolls, rake races, and rake chases!

    www.RakeGuard.com has the highest rakeback percentages available.

    RakeGuard...more than just rakeback.
