Is it possible to have same Email for Party/Empire

I know that if you have a Party account, you have to sign up for Empire from a different computer and use a different Email address.

My question: After you've already signed up and used both accounts, can you then change your Empire email address to be the same one that you use for Party?

I don't want to go through the hassle of signing up another POP3 email account to get my tournament summaries automatically loaded into pokertracker, but I will if I have to. Answers appreciated.

I signed up with Empire a couple months ago with the SAME email that I used when I signed up for Party and have not had any problems...

Ive heard others say that once you are signed up you can change the emails to be the same as each other but I just signed up with the same address for all party skins and no problems.

Many thanks. Do either of you use rakeback though? The email I got back from my rakeback guy said specifically:

"You cannot use the same E-mail address you have used in the past if you signed up on Party or a Party Skin. Also, you cannot use the same email account that you used for another EMPIRE account if you are now signing up your 'wife' or 'girlfriend'."

Does having the same email address affect rakeback perhaps? Does anyone know?

I signed up for Party before I knew about rakeback but I have rakeback at Empire.

For some reason Pokertracker doesn't import tournament summaries from these sites automatically, and it's a pain to import them manually. It only auto-imports from POP3 email sites, and it was a pain to set one up the first time. It would also suck to have to switch my email accounts in PT back and forth when I'm updating my database. Am I the only one who has this problem? Any SnG players here?

As far as I know, there is no rule against having accounts on both Empire and Party (link). I signed up for Empire with the same email address I have always used at Party, with no problems.

Sometimes you will need a different email address. If you receive an error where you can't signup from a clean computer, use a different email address. After you have the account you can then change it. It's uncommon but does happen.

you will have your account frozen... then you'll have to phone them and ask wtf. They'll say same email. You'll say ok I'll change it, they'll say Ok.

You have to talk to their awful support. I don't know if it' sjust me but the accent over the phone drove me totally up the walls. Telling them my nickname alone took maybe 3 minutes each time... Jesus
