Gambling platforms implement inventory wipes and multi-account detection systems to maintain fair play and prevent abuse such as bonus hunting, money laundering, and game manipulation. Multi-accounting—where a user creates multiple accounts to exploit bonuses or evade limits—is strictly prohibited and aggressively monitored.
Detection Methods and Indicators
- IP Address Tracking: Identifying multiple accounts originating from the same IP or similar geolocations.
- User Data Cross-Check: Comparing registration info such as email domains, phone numbers, payment methods for overlaps.
- Behavioral Analysis: Monitoring gameplay styles, betting patterns, and activity timing for suspicious similarities.
- Device Fingerprinting: Detecting multiple accounts accessed from the same hardware or browser fingerprint.
Enforcement Actions
- Account Suspension or Ban: Immediate blocking of identified accounts suspected of multi-accounting.
- Inventory Wipes: Confiscation or removal of skins and funds associated with fraudulent accounts.
- Blacklist Inclusion: Sharing offender data across gambling site networks to prevent repeated abuses.
- Legal Proceedings: In severe cases, sites may pursue legal action for fraud or money laundering.
Preventive Techniques by Users
Despite bans, some users attempt to circumvent detection using proxies, VPNs, or different devices. However, advancements in detection technology, including anti-fraud AI, continually refine the accuracy of identifying such evasions.
The balance between enabling legitimate multi-user access (e.g., family members) and preventing abuse requires robust verification procedures and transparent communication, ensuring fairness and integrity in the CS2 gambling ecosystem.
