Neobux and Shared IP Addresses

Hi everyone. I've been a member of Neobux for around nine months now but, just recently, every time I click on what appears to be an available ad, I get a message saying that a user with the same IP address has already clicked the ad within the last 24 hours. Has anybody else experienced this? I think it has something to do with my ISP assigning shared IP addresses for subscribers in the same area but then I've been able to earn on the site quite decently in the past months and haven't had this problem before. The only explanation I could think of right now is that a subscriber in the same area has joined Neobux and always manages to click ads before me. It's quite disappointing since Neobux is my only remaining PTC.
Anyway, does anyone know how to work around this? Please do share your thoughts. Thanks so much.

I don't know much about neobux since I just joined but I do work as a freebie trader. The sites we use work about the same one person can register via an I.P address. On our sites they ask for id verification if this happens. Maybe you can write neobux a support ticket to see what they can do to help you.

That is the main reason I lost interest in Neobux. I registered twice under the same username but after a few days each account was deleted without any explanation.
I would have thought that a popular site like Neobux would use a different identification method. Many sites do allow multiple accounts from the same IP as long as the accounts are accessed from different computers. They may be using a MAC identification software.
As long as sites like Neobux keeps using IP addresses as a means of authentication there will always be similar problems cropping up. They also lose the chance of getting more members.
all the best,

I got the same problem too. I really do not know how to resolve it. I have been having this problem lately too. I still log in hoping I got ahead of the member who have same IP as mine. We will be losing our earnings daily.

Hi nekonyanta, don't worry this also happened to me many times. All you need to do is to reset your internet connection or clear you internet browser. Neobux is very particular with cheating and they thought the last browse is still the same. Don't worry just clear your browser and it will return to normal.
