room says my account needs security check because i logged in from new wifi
so i logged in from my buddy’s place last night to check some tables, and now the site’s making me jump through hoops for a “security check.” never had this happen before just for wifi. i get the idea but feels a bit much considering all i did was use a different router, not like i’m laundering chips or something. roulette tables aren’t even hot right now, just trying to see if any promos are hiding.
anyone else get flagged just for logging in from a different network? they ever hassle you for vpn too?

nah, poker lol
its usually not the wifi by itself, its the combo, new network plus weird login time plus maybe a browser they dont know. sportsbooks do this too, i got hit after checking lines at the marina on guest wifi, vpn makes it way more annoying fast
Vpn trips it. Promos checks do too
The part that gets me is promos are always written mushy as hell, then they act shocked when normal people check em from wherever. “bonus abuse” becomes the magic phrase for every dumb delay. I had a reload offer vanish after i opted in, and support suddenly wanted documents over twelve bucks. Twelve. Cmon. Vpn definitely pokes the bear, yesss, but the promo language is the real garbage here.
Poker room checks are usually dumber about promos than logins, that's been my experience. Did they flag you after you actually sat at a table or just from opening the lobby at your buddy's place.
