Is it against the sites T&C to do this? Are my friends allowed to play with their own accounts on my computer?

This has probably been issued before but I'm not an expert on the search function.

Tried PokerStars and Paradise.. both perfectly ok. Tried something more strange on Paradise: Two of us played on same network at same table. They allowed it. Emailed them to ask for explanation (as we were just curious) and received reply stating their anti-collusion software made it ok for us to do this! This was maybe 2 years ago. I think their attitude isn't all that bad, or maybe I just have too much confidence in Paradise's anti-collusion software and team. I assume if we colluded they would notice.

BUT, if it's on Party, then odds are good the two of you will be barred from ever playing at the same cash table in future.

Way to go, Derek!

Of course, you could have just answered his question directly, or perhaps quoted only the relevant portion of the T&C.

I read it over a couple of times.
While it may technically be against the T&C, I'm not sure what this guy is talking about is against the spirit of the rule.

That being said, I don't have any firsthand knowledge of this.

My roommates all play PP, sometimes on each others computers. They asked us once what was up when we were confirming an account, and we just explained it, they didn't care. Though none of us are whales or anything. I make about $100-$250 a day.

Ok, although I'll probably mail their support just to be sure.
