Why are online casino duplicate accounts always against the rules?

[DragonSlots]

From what I know, all online casinos have a one-account rule to keep games fair and safe. I can have accounts at different casinos, but I can't make more than one account at the same casino. Casinos check IP addresses, devices, and payment details to detect extra accounts. If I break the rule, I may lose my money, get banned, or face other problems. Personally, I think such a rule is beneficial for casinos to prevent cheating, fraud, and bonus abuse (including promo codes). However, this practice still exists among some players.

My question is: how can a casino encourage players to open just one account? Is there any effective marketing approach to prevent online casino duplicate accounts? Share your opinion.

Having two or multiple accounts just encourages abuse on bonuses and giveaways. It's enough that they have it in the casino's terms; if they violated it, then they have themselves to blame, and the casino will just profit from confiscating the money and disabling accounts.
Even if they, keep announcing that they do not allow double accounts, if a cheater will cheat, they are going to cheat, so let them suffer from their abuse.

Know that many users that registered more accounts registered the accounts to cheat. If not seen cheating, the accounts of the same user supposed to be merged as one and no punishment. But on KYC gambling site, the person that do that may have intention to cheat.

It would have been better if the no-KYC gambling sites are displaying it on the welcome page after they register but I have not seen any gambling site like that before.

It is important to read the gambling site terms of service before using the site for gambling.

Most times people may not have that intention to cheat or having multiple accounts, but due to this IP restriction lot of people wouldn't know about that the some casinos are that sensible to detect people from signing up twice using same IP. Like that days again, I told a friend about a cryptocurrency gambling site and was willing to sign up but guess what? Was having network challenge and asked whether if I could help give access to my network and I refused because I knew the implications about the gambling site that whenever two people signed up using same ip there is punishment for them.

With this casino could keep losing customers, instead it's important to follow the advise Charles-Tim gave that whenever two account are found using same ip it's important to merged them instead of banning them.

To further elaborate this, is whenever account is merged it is important to automatically set withdrawals only from one account while the account could be set as void instead of banning or restricting them entirely.

+1 karma for you @Charles-Tim

There are those who want to prevent cheating... usually this is done in new casinos and also casinos that have been around for a long time... cheating by having multiple accounts is a common occurrence... like a man who has 100 accounts to participate in a score guessing event... meaning his chances of winning are greater because the number of guesses he makes can be more than one...

There are also those who prohibit someone from having more than one account, because of the influence of the platform's credibility... usually this is applied to casinos that are already large and busy... the casino only needs to know that its users have only one valid account... so that there their data will be valid and credible regarding their users.

No need to encourage if that's the rule and yeah it is to stop people from abusing the promos and bonus events. Casinos use IP to detect the multiple accounts over the KYC because it can be analysed effectively and when needed the KYC part comes into the picture. I don't think anyone really need more than one account for a casino and if we lost access to the one we had then the casinos allows the user to create a new one if it is not possible to recover the old one but on such events the user has to report the existing account to the support before making any deposits to avoid whole lot of drama.

What do you need multiple accounts for in one casino, when you can do whatever you want with one account. I believe that anyone who creates two or more accounts is to cheat and abuse casino bonuses. Casinos frown at this because they already know why such act is carried out. If you want to have many gambling accounts, use different casinos. That shouldn't be a problem.

[electronicash]

they can encourage to open just one account if they tell it to the users before registering that they need to only have one account and if caught to have multiple, their funds will not be sent to them.

they will not be doing this however because these casinos are also taking advantage of this situation where if the accounts wager some coins and loses, then all the better.

in fact they only caught those users with multiple account only after they tried withdrawing large sum after winning.

Somehow, I find this funny Does your question in the OP imply that you're still not satisfied with account ban and potential fund seizure? To me, that should be enough encouragement to maintain just one account. Do you want more reward like free spins if you follow the casino rules?

if anyone is wondering if this is legal the answer is yes the casino holds some rights to freeze or confiscate any winnings of the players if proven to have commited fraud or any violation of the casino's regulations so that alone is not encouraging anymore

unless you are so confident that you will not get caught you probably would not even attempt to try and see what can happen to you you can even find yourself in legal trouble if you try to do this

Isn't that suspicious? Where casinos seem to prevent us from withdrawing a lot of money because we win big by using multiple accounts as their reason to reject withdrawal requests.. even though multiple accounts do not necessarily cheat, sometimes we create a new account with new data because the old account has problems, or for other reasons.

What makes it unfair is, problems arise when someone wants to make a withdrawal, this kind of problem should have been said earlier so that there are no more bets...

Some of the rules include the following: There are laws that have been set to coordinate the operations of a casino. The break of the rules as well has consequences and the authorities are entitled to act and do what is considered necessary. Every person would like to have a smooth encounter that does not result to any negative consequences. The procedures are not simply mere bureaucratic protocols and procedures which have been put in place to ensure that the system which has been fashioned is balanced and can invoke confidence amongst those that concerns are there to protect. In this regard, it is possible to state that it is more useful to have fun in the proper manner than have the opportunity to meet many unpleasant issues.

IMO, if the casino is more focused on VIP programs, then it might discourage multi-accounting by bonus/promotion hunters. A well-tailored VIP level and marketing program will encourage players to build their level instead of registering new accounts. However, the problem is that those multi-account users are highly related to Sportsbet abuse as well, such as arbitraging, avoiding limits, and other methods of abuse that I don't know about.

So, in the end, there will still be "duplicate" accounts as long as the casino continues to provide Sportsbet and welcome bonuses for new users.
