If you play online bingo at a few different online bingo sites, then sometimes it can be hard to keep up with which online bingo sites you have registered with and who you have not. Most online bingo sites on the internet do not allow you to have duplicate accounts at their sites, so it is really important that you do not register at the same online bingo site twice, as you could see any wins you have at that site be made null and void.

Some online bingo sites can automatically detect if a bingo players opens duplicate accounts at their bingo site, but some cannot. The bingo sites that can detect this will automatically will immediately  close down your other account, but if you was to have a big bingo win at a bingo site that cannot automatically tell if you have two or more duplicate accounts with them, if you go to withdraw your winnings and this comes to light, which it very often does, then you could end up losing any winnings that you had whilst playing at that bingo site and you would not be allowed to withdraw the money you won.

Duplicate online bingo accounts are not allowed at bingo sites on the net for one main reason and that is to stop players abusing the system and the free bingo bonuses that they offer you. I myself opened up two accounts at one particular bingo site on the internet once, due to putting the wrong email address in when I was registering at the bingo site in question, and as I had put the wrong email in I could not verify the email in that they send out to activate your account. So I re-registered at the bingo site again, this time putting in the right email and I did not think no more of it.

Later on when I was looking through the bingo sites terms and conditions I realised that duplicate accounts were not allowed and immediately emailed them informing them of my error which they quickly put right by deleting my other account at their site. Even though I did not pick up any bonus money from the first account I opened with the site as I was unable to activate the first email due to the wrong email address being put down, I still had two accounts at the site and this could have made my proper account invalid, which would not have been good for me if I had won whilst playing at the bingo site in question.

The moral of this story is if you do have duplicate accounts at a bingo site you are playing at, you must email them informing them of this fact, so they can close down the other account, even if like me it was done in error otherwise you could end up very disappointed indeed if you was to have a big win whilst playing at that bingo site and ended up basically losing your money because you account was made invalid due to you having duplicate bingo accounts at the same site.
