There have been many complaints about casinos withholding withdrawals due to 'shared IP addresses". However, unless someone has a static IP address, the chances of being allocated an IP address that someone - who is totally unknown to you - has used before to play at a casino must exist.
Just browsing some of the forums that offer an arbitration service, and I came across this:
(Note: The OP was not sharing an IP address with friends or family. It was the Dynamic IP address that was causing the issue they were experiencing).
"Before we go any further - your IP address is your responsibility. If you have a dynamic IP address that could result in you sharing an IP address with other accounts in breach of terms and conditions, you should not play with this connection. While we will discuss this issue with the operator, if you have shared and IP address with another user there will be nothing we can do to assist you."
"Your IP address is your responsibility". No, I would have thought it is the responsibility of the ISP that allocates addresses.
"'You should not play with this connection." Firstly, how would you even know that someone has used the IP Address before you, and secondly, how else are you going to connect to the Internet to play?
Perhaps it is just me, but I find this response absolutely ridiculous.
