Hello, i live in Italy and many italians have a provider called Fastweb. It is a big lan where every computers enters with is own ip and goes out on the web with the same IP of every other user in that area. Only fastweb can discriminate among users. Does any caountry have somthing similar? if so... how did you solve the problemo of making friend joinig to Bankroll mob? A friend of mine got his account rejected because of the same ip and i'd have many other friends waiting to join ....

The problem is, why rejecting an account only because it comes from the same ip of another one when they ask a scanned id and the telephone number? if the id is real and name, surname, address are different where is the problem?
By the way fastweb has new lines and it's the fastest provider we have. You're right about the other providers which are long way slow and old

The problem comes when 1 person lends all his friends ID(the ones who dont play) and get lots of the offers and abuses it, then u sit with 2-3 of your usernames at 1 table, with 2-3 comps and wipe out the room.

proxy server? no wait, thats illegal, isnt it?
talk to the bankrollmob support then? i mean: they should be interested in getting your friends as new members; even tho they of yourse can not allow a bunch of people to join from the same IP. thats really an unlucky situation, i hope you find a solution soon. maybe your ISP support can help you out. im sure it has heard stories like this before and some good advice...

they remember your computer id.you should change your ip address daily.better for security.you can do that in your internet settings.you cant change your computer id unfortunately altho by law you can dissappear online.you can download programs that hidewho you are online,but the poker rooms wont accept you.

I know it is possible to have a different ip with my prvider but is not for free and you can get it for no more than 10 days per month... i don't think i could find someone willing to pay for playing poker only 10 days a month...
