Multi-accounting in poker
What is multi-accounting?
Multi-accounting is the creation and use of multiple accounts by one player. This allows cheaters to gain an unfair advantage, for example, by playing from multiple accounts at one table, applying artificial pressure on opponents, or hiding their true identity.
Why is multi-accounting dangerous?
The player can control multiple positions at the table, gaining information on more cards and influencing the outcome of hands.
Distortion of fair competition – a whole “network” of managed accounts plays against honest players.
Abuse of bonuses and promotions, when one person registers multiple accounts to maximize benefits.
How to detect multi-accounting?
Modern security systems analyze data, identifying suspicious connections between accounts:
Matching IP addresses and devices. If multiple accounts are playing from the same device or network, it may indicate multi-accounting.
Repetitive gaming patterns. If two or more accounts act similarly, place similar bets, and make decisions with minimal delay, this is a suspicious signal.
Frequent collisions at the tables. If the same players regularly end up at the same table, this may be an attempt to manipulate the game.
Unnatural chip redistribution. One account may "lose" to another, creating the effect of bankroll transfer.
How to protect the club from multi-accounting?
Account verification. Confirming players' identities helps eliminate duplicate registrations.
AI analysis of gaming patterns. The system identifies anomalous behavior and automatically flags suspicious accounts.
Device and IP restrictions. Limiting the number of accounts that can use one IP address or device.
Automatic blocking of suspicious accounts. If the system detects an attempt at multi-accounting, the player receives a warning or a ban.
