    Question about accounts
    If you have a betting account and your wife has one, can they ban one account if you live together? Can they suspect that one person is using both if its a shared account?

          It is kinda bs. I mean, what if you live with some friends and everyone wants to have wagering accounts? Can't do it? This must happen a lot.

              Everyone should be entitled to having an account even if you live together

                Years ago, introduced the fraternity house to sports wagering. It did not end well.

                  You are allowed at a lot of US state licensed books.

                  Still a bit of a minefield if you are both taking bonuses or max limit betting though.

                    Most books won't let you take bonuses on accounts registered to the same address.

                      We’ve had no problems with MGM, FanDuel, DraftKings, and Betrivers

                      I even did refer a friend and we both received bonuses

                          NY

                          I also have accounts in NJ for MGM and they give me reload bonuses in both states.

                            From what I've seen, things like this are random. One person's experience will be completely different from another's. This tells me it's based on human review rather than being flagged automatically. So you might get away with it or you might be caught.

                              Get caught isn't even a fair description. Seems like it could be perfectly legit for people who happen to be living together to each want to bet on sports. Seems to me that as long as each can prove they are a separate human and each funds from their own account, it should be allowed.

                                Frommy experience, this is pretty accurate as a far as onshore US goes.

                                    I have accounts in both my wife's name and my oldest daughter who just turned 21. My daughter is in college but we still share the same home address. Same with my wife.
                                    Was able to get all the sign-up bonuses, too.

                                        Yeah Falser, back in the offshore only days I only knew of mulitple accounts in one IP as a speical circumstance, that required special approval.

                                        And even then, I don't think they allowed it very often.

                                        I think we've been so conditioned with it being against rules that we are all a little suspicious of the US books letting it happen. The fact that they differentiate from taking bonuses and not is actutally reassuring.

                                        Within my network, I am very heistant to engage with multiple accounts in one household.

                                        In fact Weeders thread here is one of the first I've seen address this outside of perosnal conversation.

                                        Thank you to all the posters offering their experiences.

                                          Agreed.
                                          I think it's a topic that's not discussed enough.

                                          The fraternity house is a great example. 100 guys living at the same address at Indiana University. Is the State of Indiana (where sports betting is legalized) really only going to let ONE person ONLY wager on their apps? I doubt it.

                                                I agree that it SHOULD be a "yes or no" situation. The fine print at these legalized books say "only one account per household, IP address."
                                                However, from my experience, they sometimes enforce it and sometimes do not. I've never had any problems in the tri-state area of NY, NJ, CT.

                                                I am not a tech guy, so could somebody please explain IP address? I used to think it meant "internet provider," but I know that's not right.
                                                What if three people live together and they all use their own cellphones, and never connect them to the same WIFI?
                                                What if there are 40,000 people at Yankee Stadium betting, all of them using the Yankee Stadium free wireless service? Can't tell me they are going to get upset about that.
                                                What about two people - who don't know each other- betting from computers at the local public library?
                                                Lots of grey area.

                                                  "IP" actually stands for Internet Protocol.

                                                  Basically it identifies hardware devices on networks.

Seems like it could be perfectly legit for people who happen to be living together to each want to bet on sports. Seems to me that as long as each can prove they are a separate human and each funds from their own account, it should be allowed.
                                                        If their terms of service state one per household, then "getting caught" is a perfectly apt description, regardless of how you feel about the rule.

                                                        Some books don't have that in their rules but will still sometimes rescind dual bonuses - which is their right - but makes the phrase "getting caught" more precarious, I agree.

                                                          Books that allow multiple accounts from one address will still have a rule about only one person controlling one account.

                                                          If you make it obvious you are using both. Regularly betting the same thing on both one after the other for more than a single account limit for example. You still risk sanctions.

                                                            ^^^^^Agreed.
                                                            I go through one account, and then onto the other when limited. I never try to circumvent limits by using all accounts at once on the same plays over and over.
                                                            Just can't make it too obvious.
                                                            Still get the bonuses.
                                                            I wonder how many females are daily sports bettors? I know the number is growing, but I would think women would tend to use these places for slots far more than sports.
                                                            I would guess that out of every 100 sports wagering accounts, at, say, MGM or Caesars....98% of them are created by men. And that number still might be low.

                                                              Female accounts regularly get more scrutiny. Not sure of the real % of female sports bettors, but I would think it was quite low at offshore books whilst the % of female player complaints is not insignificant.
