Do you let people log in their sportsbook at your house?

[hazliam]

Some I made a new rule, super anal of me. No logging into your sportsbook via my internet in my house. Hate to see books start saying you have multi access from same ip address or what not.

 

[BobbyFK]

No, just for that reason. You don’t want more than one account showing up on the same IP address

Nah...I rather tell the books that they not the only books we could all take our business to - including using locals that don't use websites etc haha

It's best not to. And it's easy to control if your router is password protected like it should be. Everyone has data plans. They don't need your wi-fi.

 

[Bubbles]

no. very risky.

 

[Hunch]

I never let anyone use my wi-fi.

Fair enough. Could cause big problems with one of your books.
What if they had a VPN on their phone?

Everyone I know uses VPN and for me I just had to explain it to the online books what I using and they were fine with it but some want it turned off when using their book - just be honest with them and they should be fine.

I never even thought of that. Interesting

Good point Haz

if they do it on the phone you would never know anyway

Using their phone over their wireless carrier without using your home's wifi should not cause any issues. It's just when they use your wifi with your IP address that it could become a problem. I'm sure everyone's wifi is password protected so visitors wouldn't be able to use it unless you gave them the password.

 

[Pimike]

No

what for?

nope

I’d be happy to have a friend that bets over. I have friends that bet but live far from. I moved into an over 55 going on two years now with 3k homes and can’t even muster a poker game. Was hoping to make like minded friends but oh well. To be honest guy’s that don’t bet sports bore the hell out of me lol.

honestly, majority of my guy friends bet and they always come over and use their sportsbooks. ive never had an issue with a book either cause whenever we get together, we usually share bets with each other so we all are rooting for the same shit. makes it exciting. but understandable with the ip addresses, but what about using a vpn?

Don’t book frown upon using vpn? Been awhile since I read their tos, but I think they prohibit vpn.

i mean i rarely use a vpn. my boys don't use vpn in the house either so honestly, not sure. i know some books don't like vpn but honestly i'm not 100%

maybe @BMR Genie can confirm this question

I think that what the OP’s concern on this subject is old school. Back in the pioneer days of offshore shops they were offering outrageous bonus incentives. They’d give 100% bonuses on unlimited amounts. Many sharps were taking advantage playing both sides of a game circumventing the roll over requirement. There were many a thread where guy’s were getting their funds confiscated for that reason. Bet All Sports had numerous sister books and found same IP addresses betting both books and the punter didn’t realize they were betting via sister book. It was a total cluster muck. Not many books these days give bonuses over $500. Books these days don’t give a rats ass anymore. And the Bet All Sports guy’s got shut down and some did jail time.
