Does anyone know how long poker rooms keep your info? I have signed up on a number of them but have not used them for well over a year. Can I still sign up through Bankroll Mob and get their bonuses?

I doubt it. If you never opened a real money account you may get under the radar but with real money they are very strict. They are unlikely to delete your account after a year cause some people may have a year out and come back. If you go to the US say where it is illegal. And even if they deleted the account they'd still have you on file.

I haven't encountered a poker room that deletes accounts on request, they may ban or restrict certain accounts after infringements though won't adhere to any requests of deletion. This is primarily due to security and tracker purposes. I may not be 100% on this though I think they isolate accounts based on the credit card you use to deposit over any other techniques (name/address). As #2 has stated, you may be able to fly under the radar should you not open a real money account?

I wish I could have more than one account in pokerstars and fulltilt (my favourite rooms). But as he said, it is not possible to have more than one account in a poker room. They have data that control the number of account. And you can maybe create a new account and deposit, but then when youre going to withdraw they can cancel and confiscate your money! lol

AFAIK, poker sites do not delete accounts even if you ask them to. It makes sense mostly on sites offering rakeback or other promotions, since you could just go about account-hopping If you're wondering on the security issues of your data holding out for so long, then just think that whether they hold your data for a day or for a year is practically the same

I think once we register an account with them, our data is permanently stored in there. Even if you did not actives there for more than a year, your data is still there, they won't delete it. So, i doubts you will able to signup agagin through bankroll mob to get the bonus here.

Well, I'm sure they do save some of your info forever. Definitley you are not able to use the same e-mail address, also I think they keep a track on your IP, so really there's not much you can do. I have requested for FTP not a long time ago and I got rejected because of "multiple accounts". I do not even remember ever playing on FTP before but I guess if they said so, I'm not sure so I won't argue It's a shame tho, cause they have a nice bonus for it here at BRM
