Playing on Full Tilt from the Same IP

cwar · #1 10-25-2007, 10:00 PM

I play on FT and my two roomates share the same router and internet connection, neither of them are serous players but they like tournaments and yesterday I saw them playing the same tournament. To the best of my knowledge they dont collude (I dont even think they are capable of it) but this is against FT T&C correct?

They both keep probably between $0-$200 in their accounts and pretty much wouldnt care even if I brought it to their attention, I however keep 5 figures on FT so what can I do to protect myself? I rarely play tournaments and do not depend on them to make my living but I have played a few on occasion.

-Should I avoid ever playing an MTT on this connection?
-I have no problem getting a separate internet connection, should I? Would this protect me?
-Is their a link to the FT terms and conditions? I havent been able to find it.

Thanks so much Im relatively ignorant about issues like this anything else that you feel I should know would be greatly appreciated.

Email FTP support (or talk to Doug or another rep. on here) about the situation before they ask you. Come clean to show that you know about it/dont think anything is happening.

Very good idea, I will PM Doug.

FTP customer response times have improved a ton... now I'm consistently getting responses now within a day, and often within a couple of hours.

yeah always a good idea to let your site support know about anything they might think strange. esp ftp.

Hmmm is there any risk to me in bringing this to their attention?

dude, you're fine. there was a time when people could even play on the same tables from the same ip, but now ftp does not allow that. you couldn't sit at their cash games if you wanted to, and MTT's are no problem.

Me and my housemate have ended up at the same table once or twice in MTTs - there is nothing specifically bad about this (we dont cheat in any way, for the record) and FTP accepts that on occassion it will happen.

Fwiw, they dont let you join the same cash games and im pretty sure you cant join the same SnGs.

This is exactly the same at Stars and id expect it to be the same at all sites.
