All betting companies use promotions to attract new customers and retain existing ones, but they always come with terms and conditions.<\/p>\n
For example, the new customer bonuses promoted on this site are only claimable by customers who have never used the sites in question before. This is to stop people signing up, using the bonus, then closing their accounts and opening a new one again in order to claim the bonus for second time.<\/p>\n
Online gambling sites have extremely effective security measures in place and since they need to see photo ID of new customers before they are allowed to gamble, catching anyone trying to create duplicate accounts is relatively easy.<\/p>\n
But what if you could sign up using your other half’s ID? Or your mother’s? It doesn’t really matter who the other person is to be honest; if they will give you their ID then you could sing up as them and have access to multiple accounts.<\/p>\n
This is against the terms of service of course, and anyone caught doing it would get into trouble and be banned, but there are people out there who take the risk.<\/p>\n
Few though, if any, have taken the scam as far as Jon Howard, a 40 year old man from Stapleford Tawney in Essex.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Unbelievably, Jon Howard had access to over one thousand betting accounts with Bet365, a number which he had built up over many years by convincing people to give him their details.<\/p>\n
It is not yet known whether these people received any sort of financial reward or not.<\/p>\n
This meant that Jon could log on and place bets using offers and promotions hundreds and hundreds of times without worrying about account limitations – a clear breach of the terms and not to mention breaking the law.<\/p>\n
