TWelcome to the internet. If you wanna play with your buddy...home game. If you want to play online with a buddy you've referred/transferred money to/used your PC/same address/etc then you run a high risk of getting your funds locked.

I think you're overstating the case here.

There was a thread recently where someone said that they contacted one of the big rooms to ask if it was OK if he and his wife played from the same IP address, and that they would make sure they did not sit at the same table.

The PR said fine, and you don't have to worry about not sitting at the same table.

The PR's are way too paranoid about collusion (and quite rightly so) to rely on something so easily bypassed as same IP addresses.

In any case, with many ISP's IP addresses are reused and you won't have the same one all the time.

If the sites started banning people on the basis of IP address, people with ISP's who used dynamic addresses would all find themselves banned.
