And, the unasked for overly long explanation:
BGA is not doing this to help prevent collusion or simply to sell more premium accounts. Some of the game publishers objected to people playing from the same location. Their reasoning was that if people could play for free on BGA, there would be little reason for them to buy a physical copy of the game and the publisher would not be making any money. By making playing from the same IP a premium feature and sharing some of the premium revenue with the publishers, the publishers can make money.

it's easy to get gift points anyways.
a tip: find games which are more popular and /or easy to win. win 20 kinds of games give u 1 month membership, and then u can just open new games with practice mode join and immediately quit to get no punishment and 5 gift points.
there r over 200 games so u can at least get 10 month membership.
