The Main Rule

One BGA account = One person

Playing from the same IP

This is authorized to play at the same table from the same IP (internet address).

The warning message "this player plays from the same internet address than another player" is a simple warning. It is a useful warning, because the other players have the right to know that there are players at their table that are able to discuss out of game.

If you want to play from the same internet address than another person:

• The best option is not to play at the same table, or play at a table where you know everyone.
• If you play with strangers, make them comfortable by the fact you are 2 (or more) different people: don't discuss about the game outside the chatroom, don't collaborate (or do kingmaking) with your partner, and so on.

When some of your opponents are playing from the same IP:

• You may refuse (politely) to play with them.
• You should probably be vigilant and check that they are not collaborating during the game.
• But you don't have to report them until they are doing a concrete kingmaking action. If you report some players saying that "they are playing from the same IP" without any kingmaking proof, we will close your report.
