Dude, are you really asking this question???
Sure you can. In fact why not run 8 computers and try your luck at the 9 man SnG's?
I think if two computers (multi's from one IP address) are registered in the same tourney, you'd be banned for collusion for LIFE.
If he can't play, he can't play. If you try and play it for him and get caught out (and Tilt will be able to trace the IP) then you may need to find a new poker site.... sorry.
Lots of people run more than one computer from the same IP address on the same poker site. There are restrictions you need to be aware of though if doing so (ie. you can't both enter the same tournament unless there's a certain # of entrants in them... I think it's 45players +). They will make exceptions if you contact support (ie. for playing priv. tourneys).
In most cases this happens when it's more than one person in the same family playing on a poker site (ie. husband & wife, etc.).
Just sayin.... the auto ban for life thing is a bit extreme.... BUT for sure you should be aware that doing what you're planning on doing is against the rules on every poker site (you can't be multi-accounting... OR playing someone else's acc't.). Read up on the rules on the poker site you're playing on.
So if two poker players live in the same house, and have different accounts, but play from the same network, they won't allow that? Guess it makes sense, and the solution is that you just play at different sites.
The powers that be made me delete multi-colours ^ in my sig.,.. sigh (idk why??.. I think it looks good!)
FT will allow 2 seperate accounts to play in the same tourney at the same time from the same IP address. You will NOT be allowed to play in a cash game, it just will not let the second account register. I'm sure there are husband and wife teams here at Cards Chat who play in the same tourneys at the same time. You will definately have to register from a different PC.
As mentioned above, do NOT play your friends account, as this would be cause for a suspension of both accounts. It isn't worth it.
I once found a notebook of my sons which contained Usernames and passwords for various pokersites. He was not 18 at the time so he ysed my birthdate to open these accounts. It was perhaps 5 years after he opened the accounts when I found them. I emailed all the sites and explained what had happened. I went into the accounts to look at the personal information contained in the site and when I did I received a phonecall from the security/support at the site stating I was not supposed to be on someone elses account.
Point being, they know what you are doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi FT Support,Sounds like a winner!Why worry about it so much.Just contact the site and see what they have to say about it and then act upon it accordingly.Just do the right thing in the instance and see what the outcome will be.Just assuming your doing the right thing isn't always the right thing to do in all instances.Sometimes you have to check with the powers that be in order to see that your doing the right thing or not.
Hi FT Support,
My friend and I wanted to play in this freeroll, but now he can't play, so I was wondering if it was OK to play his and my account at the same time? Cool? No??
What OP is suggesting is probably something he could get away with (for awhile, at least), but is DEFINITELY against the site TOC. You are not supposed to play on anyone else's account, nor allow anyone to play on yours.
Yes, two people can each sign up for their own accounts from the same location, and in a lot of cases, both play their own accounts in the same tournament, and still be within their rights as far as TOC goes. But that's not what OP was suggesting. OP wants to cheat and play on his buddy's account AND his own, at the same time.
