Harby - I do not believe your post was anti-Betfair I think you made a great point which has been well-aired. I think there was some confusuion - now cleared up - that Betfair ALOWED multi-names, when clearly they do not.

I think Ariston's defence of Betfair was a shade on the sensitive side, but that's not the greatest sin in the world.

I think I've just about read all of this thread  now  Huh?

I'm intersted in this because I have 2 accounts on Betfair.  I had the original one for ages for betting on the exchange and never played on Betfair poker.  I set up a 2nd account just for poker (All accounts are created on the exchange site).  Then after a particulary bad Saturday night  Embarrassed I found I had no money left in my "poker" account but wanted to play in the WSOP qualifier on the Sunday night.  So I logged in with my other account and played the sat.  Now as it happens I have never bothered to deposit on the original account since and only play the 2nd one, so in effect I have never had two accounts "active" at the same time on BF poker.

BUT I can find no mention of this in Betfair's T & C's (I checked because it didn't seem right to me at the time).

Thats all I was asking if it was allowed as when i asked this person he told me there was nothing wrong as he used different credit cards and another one on the table was doing the same. When you think about it now I should have contacted betfair instead of airing it on here to find out if it was allowed or not.Nevermind we all learn by our mistakes.

No Harby - stop being defensive. It was a fair point you made - the responses prove that - and youi did nothing wrong or improper imo. But yes, it's also correct to say that if summat is wrong, report it.

Owners post propbably gets to the crux of the prob. Where a site has a SportsBook AND a Cardroom it gets complicated. But in the SPIRIT of the debate, it's wrong to have two aliases on the same site with the intention of using them to deceive.

Ah but that is different, with intention to decieve is against the T&C's, collusion, fraud etc.
I was sad enough to look at the T&C's and i didn't see any reference to multiple accounts at all, it should be outlawed because it is open to abuse but it in itself is not wrong.
did that make sense?..........i was up too early this morning

I have two acconts on stars and two on betfair (thats accidental though!)
I only use one at a time and partake in nor forms of collusion!

I agree that someone who has numerous accounts and regularly rotates them does have an edge but it is down to the sites to regulate it and act accordingly
