Connecting to Public Wifi

[sujonali1819]

I visit the city here few weeks ago due to my personal medical appointment. I notice that they have public wifi because I’m only allowed to use my Tab as mobile device due to my eye condition.

I just thought playing a little bit gambling while waiting for my appointment but then I realized that online casino has a strict rules about IP sharing. I'm really skeptical to connect because I’m not sure whether someone connected on it that play on same online casino that I’m playing. I don’t want to risk being connected to someone randomly.

I want to get the opinion how casino deal with this kind of situation. If you caught up on this messed up situation, how can you possibly defend yourself to online casino operators?

Overall it's not a good idea to play in the casino by using public wifi. Most of the casinos recently have rules like all the accounts that have the same IP are counted as multiple accounts. So if a casino wants to accuse you are breaking their terms,  they can.

But casinos should not accuse someone as an account farmer only based on IP, device, betting behavior, and some other things also should be included.

Even logging in with my email or with my social media or even with my bitcointalk account details then i dont really have that much confidence when connecting into a public wifi. As much as possible
if ever i do able to make use of my data connection then i would really be making those kind of accessing specially if its really that account related.So far i dont have experience on logging in with gambling site account and having that worry about ip problems because most gambling sites arent really that too strict when it comes to this and this is why i dont really have that much worry when it comes connecting into public wifi. If you arent that confident then you can just simply skip out and connect if ever there's a possible access through net without needing that public one.

That's why I try to keep personal accounts private from casino sites or other sites if I'm connected to public wifi. We don't know whether the internet connection on public wifi is safe or monitored by the admin, so we shouldn't connect to public wifi. After all, we already have a data package provided by our device and internet provider card so we don't need a connection from a third party or public wifi. We must always be careful because being connected to public wifi means our data is vulnerable to hacking, even though we don't know how that could happen. We just have to remain careful.

If you've been reading some of the accusations in the scam section many of these are about possible changes of account or alt account and it could only happen if there is a change of IP and if the casino has a bad reputation it will not accept the usage of the device, casino with a bad reputation will exploit this if you switch to public WiFi and besides there's a possible hack if you connect to public WiFi, if possible have your data.
It's good that here in our country we have prepaid data so we can always connect without using public Data, but it is better to always use the same connection when you're playing in a casino so your account will remain clean.

I been thinking about the same thing for quite long time, where using public WiFi is clear, many people will use it and when it is used for gambling, will there be problems because the IP are definitely connected to each other if many WiFi users use it for gambling, especially on the same site?
Every gambling site has rule that they do not accept the use of multiple accounts because it can lead to fraudulent activities such as using bonuses with multiple accounts.
And what is worrying is that if there are other accounts that are connected to each other and are known to raise suspicion from the gambling site team, then the account will be frozen, this will clearly be very detrimental.

I personally prefer to be careful at the start by not using WiFi which can be said to be public WiFi with lots of users.
In the country I live in, WiFi like this is service in several government installations, health care and even in business places such as restaurants, hotels and so on.
When going to these places I prefer to use personal data rather than having to use the WiFi provided.

I gamble for fun and so far have always followed the rules and have never broken any rules at all on any gambling site I have used.
If problem occurs just because another account is connected and it results in the account being frozen then it will obviously be difficult.

Like what the first reply says . this will be your problem once you luckily win Huge amount because that will reflect to the abuse they will call you as public wifi shared by hundreds if not thousand of users each time and also trust me , you can connect on that public wifi but will be a problem browsing because the connection mostly too slow to even check your Messenger .
so why not use a pocket wife instead if you cannot use your mobile data ?

Maybe skip using public Wi-Fi for gambling next time. Skipping public Wi-Fi for gambling is just playing it safe. It helps dodge problems like accidentally sharing IPs that some online casinos might frown upon. Keeping it chill with a private and secure network lowers the chances of running into issues, making your online gaming hassle free.

I think using public wifi is very dangerous anyways, I wouldn't even dare to do it. In best case scenario you could leak your pretty personal data to people with bad intentions. In the worst case scenario you will be hacked through leaked data - and money will be all gone. I think casinos are right when they enforce those strict rules. Its pretty hard for them to be sure you are good, kind customer. KYC will obviously guarentee your funds - but its still bad to risk it.

This should not be a problem for anyone because a casino player can easily connect to the Internet in a public place or any public place, but what interests him is that he can participate and deposit, and what the person does From then on it depends on what you do to win, but a casino who is willing to see that there are many connections from a public site should not be alarmed, he should feel good that people come into his casino to make deposits and play , not There should be problems, that's like having an exchange open and having someone open their exchange from the same connection, there's nothing to do there, there's nothing bad.

What I see is that there is a lot of fear on the part of the Peruvians to operate in caisno of that way, at the end of the day if a caisno gets into those things of prohibiting person from using those same public IPs then what They will be left without clients, if they ban my Account for connecting to a public site , I will never return to that casino again in my Life.

Is this some kind of AI text? Your post doesn’t make sense and not even relevant to the discussion because you are pertaining to a public place not the public wifi which is the main issue here for multi account violation.

What the hell does Peruvian even related to this topic? You should stop using this kind of tools or else you might get kick out to your campaign.

He state that using casino not allowing gamblers to use public wifi my result to losing clients. LOL.

How would even casino know if you are using a public wifi or a private one when only IP and device are just being logged on their website.

And about your question;

I did a quick research on the meaning of Peruvian ;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peruvians

Peruvians (Spanish: peruanos/peruanas) are the citizens of Peru. What is now Peru has been inhabited for several millennia by cultures such as the Caral before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century.

still I don't get the meaning and it's connection to the topic.

Being banned in the casino is the least of your concern here. Public wifis have become inherently dangerous due to a multitude of possible exploits and attacks malicious people can employ while you are using the said network. Also, I think you are good if you hop into a different IP, so long as the IP is in the same country. As for IP sharing, they simply just disallow any subsequent connections or just disconnect the first connection once they detect that players are using the same IP.

Public wi-fi is like a prostitute. Connect at own risk

If there is not alternative, then nothing bad of having a quickie

[danherbias07]

I have never tried this because I am afraid I will be banned from doing that. I keep my gambling habit to my own internet connection at home or when I am outside, I use my data instead. It's not that heavy because here in the Philippines data connections are prepaid so your $2 will go as far as 3 to 4 days as long as you are not a heavy user.
I prefer that path because it also protects your other applications, especially if you have financial ones that could be hacked anytime and you might lose money in the process. IMO, these public WIFI's are for emergency purposes only especially if you need to contact someone when you don't have their phone numbers.
When it comes to online gambling though, it's still better if the connection you are using is private and I am sure you won't have any trouble with them.
I think we have seen enough threads created here about this kind of issues. Their balance is stuck in the gambling site because of IP restrictions due to VPN usage.

If you're in a hotel and you connect to the hotel WiFi then they can't use that against you because that's where you are staying and you're not using it as a VPN. And also you are actually in the country declared by the WiFi's IP address. However, it is extremely unlikely that two people are playing at the same casino at the same time or even at similar times, particularly if the public WiFi does not have many connected users.

If you're skeptical about their rules and want to protect your account, you must not connect to public wifi. Finding another way to focus or entertain yourself would be best.
It would help if you always doubt when connecting to a Public Wifi since many risks are involved. Some hackers might collect data on that public wifi. As we are in crypto, data in our devices is our top priority.

I would tell the whole story. It's up to them if they will ban or unban my account. I would change the gambling casinos if they didn't favor my side.

[moneystery]

it's better if you don't use public wifi as recommended by other members here because usually online casinos are very strict about the ip rules for each member and if they find that you are using a different ip than usual, you might get banned. moreover, using a cellular network is much better than public wifi and it shouldn't be difficult to use, because you can use the hotspot from your smartphone and connect it to your tablet or you can change your tablet to one with a cellular network to avoid the hassle of using it. hotspot with your smartphone.

[Sanitough]

I would tell the whole story. It's up to them if they will ban or unban my account. I would change the gambling casinos if they didn't favor my side.

Prevention is still better. Even if you tell the whole story but the fact that you know you have violated the rules, justifying it to the gambling site is still useless. They act as robot which is guided by the rules, and of course, they would not make the conversation long and make conclusion right away.

So as I was saying, it's better to do some preventive measures. Use Public wifi only on social media, but not on any online activities that involves money.

I agree, but who knows if they will unban your gambling account if you tell them the truth? At least you try, compared to not doing a thing. Who knows if their platform will just give a warning or if they will refund the funds from his gambling account? Whether it is a positive or negative result, at least you do what you can do in this situation.

[Webetcoins]

Casino banning or blocking your account for a shared IP address shouldn't be your only fear if you are using public Wi-Fi on your device if your device has wallets and other financial applications because hackers and stealers connected to the same Wi-Fi might be able to access your device and possibly steal your funds if you have any in your phone and since most of us keep our financial apps such as banking apps and wallets in our mobile phones, there is a chance you might get them compromised.

So, please don't do that. It's not worth it. Nothing will happen if you don't gamble for a while, but if you give access to your device to a stranger without even knowing about it by using public Wi-Fi, you might have a lot to regret about. These are the sorts of situations where one needs to think everything through before taking a decision.

Although unlikely, they could always use it against you if you hit a Jackpot.
Then you would be out of luck.

Thanks for the prompt response @jeremy. This is what I really considering that’s why I’m being cautious with this matter. I don’t have full information on how casino detects multi account through IP that makes me uncomfortable on connecting to public internet or login my casino account on a rental computer.

We will never know when we will hit that once in a lifetime jackpot and it’s such a waste if you will be caught on a messy situation which casino use this minor mistake to seize your win.

I enjoy reading all the replies but I can’t response to everyone. I just want to brought up this topic to get opinion and also to serve as warning to anyone that will try to use public wifi or any rentals gadget.
