Hello
I have various online bookmaker accounts as I like to make a bet every now and then. Problem is, other members of my family also hold accounts and like to make bets and we all use the same computer. Some online bookmakers don't seem to like two people (whether they are from the same family or not) using 1 computer to access their different accounts.
They say that it breaches their security policy. Although, many staff members that I have spoken to believe that the computer system is being over cautious, but their is nothing they can do about it as that is what the company security system has been designed to do.
My question is: How can I overcome this security check which seems to be tracking some form of ID from my computer to be able to recognise that the same computer is being used for different accounts?
I know that it is not an IP address that it is recognising because my IP address is Dynamic and I change it with every 'log in'
I have noticed that some bookmakers refer to it as a 'Machine ID' that has been logged. What is this Machine ID? Is it the ID or my Network Card or some other form of ID that a computer can be recognised by? Would partitioning my hard drive help to solve the problem?
If any one is able to help and maybe provide me with some ideas on how to disquise or change this ID at will, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
