Premium for friends at the same address

[Fauxzen]

Sorry if this has already been asked.

If I have a premium account can I invite and play with my 2 friends that live together? We tried tonight but it wouldn't let them as they have the same IP. They don't use this site often, but I do, so I'd pick this up if it was the case.

Cheers

Short answer -- Yes, you can do this.

Longer answer -- Once any premium member joins a table, the "cannot have multiple players from the same IP" ban is lifted from the table. So the system doesn't care if P, Q, and R are together, P and Q are together, or Q and R (your case) are together. The ban is not to reduce cheating (as it is on most poker/gambling sites), but because of licensing agreements with game publishers. They don't want people playing for free in the same physical location when they would instead be buying a physical copy.

Interesting, I thought it was because of the traps
