I use the same pc with my father so the same internet etc.We can't make 2nd account in bankroll with the same IP.So how could another person ,using same internet with me, claim a bonus from one site that i have claimed?

Busted lol. Only 1 account per IP, so no you can't make more accounts in family members names and steal more free money. Try getting better at poker instead of trying to scam.

Thisis such a simple rule that anyone would make if you were out there as any kind of site that provides bonusses so as to prevent scamming and abuse.......... its obvious that you wouldnt be able to do it. Get anothr computer and you can play each other!

I think it could be possible to make 2 accounts from one IP.. I mean, here is some kind of veryfication, same as on every pokersite you can verify your identity.. so only same internet IP address shouldnt be problem.. thats my opinion.

I think admin here at BRM has said before - you can ask about an exception so two people on same IP can each have a BRM account - but you COULDN'T take the same bonuses.

This is true. Both me and the Mrs have accounts but she had to jump through a hell of a lot of verification hoops AND we can't take bonuses from the same sites.
It's difficult but it's the only way to keep things fair and stop scammers.

Also - generally speaking, most poker sites themselves will put in the T&C of ANY bonuses they offer (No Deposit, 1st Deposit, reload, promo, etc) that only one person per household/IP may claim the bonus. Even though most poker sites will allow multiple accounts in a household (I used to share house with my dad and we both had plenty of verified accounts on different sites) - the bonuses are a different matter.

Actually my friend and I both createdccounts using the same PC so I don't know what would be the real issue other then name, address and then when the verification came they called his house. His mother wrote down the code and that's how we both used one computer. This was at least two years ago so I don't know if things have changed.

Sorry mate the rules clearly state that only one account per household and IP address.
That rule is there to keep people from trying to run scams.
I live in a 180 Unit apartment complex and I have a roommate. we have 3 computers running in this apartment at all times and they all have internet. However we are not both allowed to play online poker at the same time on the same sites.
It is that way to protect everyone from unscrupulus people who would try and take advantage of other players to steal there cash.

A lot of sites DO actually allow this: so long as you don't sit the same tables. I used to play on PKR all the time at the same time as my dad, from the connection. They said it was fine so long as we never sat cash tables together, we WERE allowed to join the same MTTs though.
Most sites of fairly similar rules, basically so long as you demonstrate you're not colluding, it's generally OK. But you always should check with the site first and generally provide verification for both accounts - and get the OK from their security before you both play. But so long as you bother with those steps, it's normally fine. Although I am sure some sites might not allow it at all.
