Hey guys, on stars will they have an issue with 2 accounts being played from the same house? My girlfriend got into poker with me and she made an account. Only thing is that we are sharing the same entropay account for the cards being used to fund.

You sure? Why would they ban couples from playing? We are never going to register in the same tournaments or anything.

Your best bet will be to get involved with PS Support. Be on the up and up with them.

If you try to hide it, they will find you, then ban you for life, and take your money. They are experts at figuring this out. They WILL find you.

Another option is different funding accounts. Do this with their knowledge.

Another option is connecting via your neighbors WiFi. While this would probably work, the problem will be that one time you forget to change to their WiFi, then end up in the same game as your wife.

Honesty will be the best when dealing with support. It may be that they can fix the problem for you, happily.

I have NO EXPERIENCE doing this, but I have been here long enough to have seen many thread like this. There have been times, with other rooms, where for whatever reason, I ended up with multiple accounts. Usually thru mergers. In at least 1 case I didn't even know I had a 2nd account at the site, till something odd happened that reminded me. I got a hold of support and the issue was cleared easily.

What they don't want is one person having multiple accounts. And they know how to ferret you out.

My brother and I have shared a house for years and we each have our own PS and 888 accounts and have never had problems with either.
Same address, but two different people with two different CC's.
Although, a few years ago PS did randomly ask my brother to send documents to prove who he was, same thing happened to me with FT (strangely, I hadn't played FT for months because I lost interest in it and never bothered confirming my identity as it wasn't worth the hassle for a site I no longer played on.).

I have the same situation of you and if is the same I.P. adress ps will close your account . If is 2 adress I.P you will be fine. Just explain your situation . For both sharing the same account I thing in the rules of the games is illegal but just read it. I have create 2 account long time ago and I receive from ps a memo they tell me than I'm ban for having two account . I close one and thats it.

In these cases the best is to inform the pokerstars support , they will ask for some identification papers that prove you are different persons to be sent to them , the cards account bills , maybe a video of you and her playing poker :D , you never know , and after that everything will be clear .

I know that Stars allows multiple accounts on in one household (because this is the case in my household). Also, Jaime Staples, Matt Staples and Kevin Martin (twitch streamers) live in the same household.

I am not sure about depositing on the same Entropay account. I have never used the service.

My best friend and his wife both play on Pokerstars from the same house (ip address). They do not use the same deposit method.

My friend have also 2 accounts with his girlfriend.
He play the bigest tourneys on PS , she playded tourneys under 20$. And after long discuss my friend got banned for over the month. Betber don't play like that , if you not a famous pkayer with reputation.

I was curious about this because my son, who is 21, wants to play online poker but we have the same address.Do poker sites allow for this anywhere? Guess I could forfeit playing at one of the ones he can play on in order for him to get play in but was hoping would not have to do that

The Pokerstars of course allows multiple accounts from one household provided proof that both accounts are of different persons and doesnt participate in same tourneys , cash tables , sngs etc
and also another thing is both should maintain different individual accounts in payments processors for depositing or withdrawing

and i also would like you to ask same and clarify with pokerstars support


and share their reply here which helps others also

I was about to reply and mention that I knew that you and the hubby had accounts from the one household, I wasn't going to say a thing about colluding though. :p

Hey guys, stars will have a problem with two accounts, which are played by the same house? My friend came into poker with me and she did account. The only thing is that we share the same Entropay account cards that are used to finance. I took care to finance my 1 card and fill her with another card, but both cards are from the same account, as it does not feel comfortable using physical credit card but also use one entrance. [/ TSITO]
Interesting idea but as far as I know two people can play the same account but no one probably will not understand it so I think that there is nothing wrong.
