Will there be a problem with a friend logging into his account from my house?

A few days ago I got a friend into playing online poker and he ended up making an account on 888 he's done okay and all is good. However since then he has come around to my house a couple of times and logged into his account from my computer and obviously my internet connection (meaning my IP address). I have no problem with that since we've had some fun sitting around having drinks well playing some tournaments and whatnot. I'm just a little concerned that when either me or him go to cash out I want to know if there might be any problems with 888 thinking I'm double accounting or that there are multiple accounts being used from this household.

As long as you aren't playing at the same tables it should be okay. It might be a good idea to send them an email to let them know.

When my wife played online years ago, we played from the same house on PS and FTP. I emailed both to clear it with them first, and they both replied that this was fine as long as we didn't play the same games or share accounts. Although as I recall we could play the same MTTs, but we never did just to be safe.

Thank you

This has put my mind at ease, I didn't think it would be a problem but just wanted to check tomake sure

I knew someone that he and his brother played from the IP address and had their accounts frozen I believe it was Full Tilt? Im not sure I would risk it.
