Does anyone know anything about this?

I read this: http://www.thegamblingtimes.com/board/day-day-life/10018-iesnare-make-sure-youre-not-being-snooped.html

And although I don't pretend to understand it, I don't like it.

Can someone explain it in idiots terms?

In two previous jobs I've worked closely with Iovation as they've provided 'device reputation management' services as part of a suite of antifraud tools.

you have nothing to worry about - it doesn't track what you're doing, just who you are, with you being 'your computer'.

No idea who the "professional punter who preferred not be named" is

There are also pretty simple ways for a website to see your browsing history when you turn up, and therefore profile you before you've even opened your account.  There was a company touting a service a bit like that where they (from what I recall) kept a database of such info you to check.  Kinda like someone selling a boat load of poker hand histories so smart, software wielding players know how you play despite never having sat with you before.

This is the site, but has a very odd opening message now and seems to have shut down - http://www.pzyche.com/

I'm sure there are smart people on here who can advise on the sort of anti-snooping tools to make use of to avoid this sort of thing.  Handily it is often supergeeks who like to build and distribute stuff for free that are most against this sort of thing

Correct, I was about to Post exactly that.

This is the key post.

Let's say Paddy has severely restricted you but your mate down the pub lets you bet in his name with his credit card.

If you open the account on the same computer you've been restricted on, they will immediately link the new account to yours and restrict it.

Similarly, if you happen to be round the house of a very shrewd punter and fancy a bet on your "clean" acct, don't ask to use his computer.

You'll get your account restricted to the level of his.

This is also why you should never go to bookmakers sites in internet cafe's. Just in case.

(and also a small chance you'll get hacked from there too)
