I think they changed this around Dec 03 or Jan 04. I opened my Empire acct right before the change so I'm pretty sure this is correct.

Copy the information between the start and end cut lines below (not including the lines themselves).

Paste it into a text editor. Save it with a .reg extension (make sure that the system doesn't turn it into a .txt file). Sample filename is deleteucid.reg

Double click on the file you just created. The entry will be deleted.

---------start cut-------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Calculator\mode]
"UCID"=-
---------end cut-------------

The registry key isn't the problem. It now also doesn't allow the same email address I'm told from reputable sources.

Cant you change the email after you open the account? it shouldnt matter if you can later.

Unsure. A friend of mine had exactly the same problem few days ago, tried everything including changing PC's even IP, UCID registry key and finally just changed his email address and it worked

Then that's VERY recent. I opened a Eurobet account early this month with the same email address as Empire and Party.

I had Party, Empire, Eurobet and PkerNow and closed Party and Empire a little while back, teied to open a new party and got that popup, figured it was because of the recently closed account, changed the email and went thru fine.

Hello,

I need to clear up a few things.

If the email address has anything to do with it the change is very recent!

I opened an account during the evening hours of Jan. 11 EST with Multi-Poker. At that time I had accounts at both Party and Empire. I used the same email address that I have always had registered at Party and it worked just fine.

Here is how I did it.

Delete UCID in registry (see above for instructions).
Deleted all cookies in IE.
Deleted all cookies in Firefox.
Renamed folder 'Party Poker' to 'Temp Party Poker'
Renamed folder 'Empire Poker' to 'Temp Empire Poker'
Rebooted computer.
Performed Indian raindance while rebooting.
Confirmed registry to verify the UCID didn't exist.
Installed MultiPoker.
Created an account using same email address that I used on Party.
Deposited money.
Renamed both folders to there orginal name.
Open all three clients, signed on to all three clients, pressed a few buttons and tried a few things and all is o.k.

P.S. I dont' think the Indian raindance is necessary but it won't hurt.

FWIW, I just opened a PokerNOW account the other day with the same email as my Party account and I didn't have a problem.

I just spoke with customer service at Eurobet.com, and they confirmed that you ARE NOT ALLOWED to have accounts open at multiple Party skins.

That means that anyone who has done this (at least recently) has somehow slipped through a hole in their system. I would also imagine that makes one (or both) of the accounts vulnerable to being closed.

Can anyone confirm having successfully signed up for multiple skins recently?
