Unless I'm missing something (which I may very well be), I don't understand what the computer has to do with the account. Pokerstars is an application loaded onto a PC. When its executed it connects up to the Pokerstars servers without regard to username. When you attempt to enter a table/tourney/cashier - you have to log in using your pokerstars credentials. Naturally, you *both* can't be logged on at the same time on the same PC....in fact, you can't have 2 machines connect to PS behind the same NAT'd address. If you figured that out - let me know please. =)

Again - I'm confused, a user account, as far as I know is not specific to a machine. I would expect someone (say TP) to be able to access his PS account via my machine without any problems. This just sounds very strange to me.

Yes ...but if you email PS support and ask them if you could open another account for your friend they will allow you to do so...mind you...you will not be able to play at the same time but he will have his own account ....

Most sites will do it...
Mrs. ChipFish has an account at PokerStars also.
They won't allow you to play at the same Table (Cash game)

You have to email support....
As was already said.

Hmmm... if you have Windows XP on your system then you have "carte blanche" to any amount of accounts you like ....and if you have 2 computers then yes you can be logged on at same time.....

and i so hate the cheaters that do this ....but i've only seen this happen in play chip tables that 2 users in same household could sit at same table...I think they have better security on real money tables...

hope i cleared things up for you

I googled it and found nothing other regarding to what I *think* you are speaking off.

Provide a link to this application or something that explains this application to which you refer.

Thanks.
