Hi,

Thanks for playing on Board Game Arena.

Playing on BGA from the same location is not something common as you can play with the real physical board game. It makes sense to make it a Premium feature, so that we can make sure that practically no one would use BGA to avoid buying the real physical game (some game publishers complains about this so we had to do something).

In addition, we introduced recently the "Hotseat mode", a new Premium feature that allow you to play with your friends from the same screen. But it makes no sense to have Hotseat as a Premium feature if you can just open 2 browsers and play from the same screen for free.

Finally, playing from the same location has been used by many players to cheat the ranking system by playing against themselves. By making this a premium feature we strongly limit this.

So there is at least 3 good reasons to take this decision

Our Premium membership is really cheap, allow us to provide this service, and by the way you only need 1 Premium account at a table to remove the "same location limit" for the whole table (even when playing with non-Premium).

Hope this helps.
