Afraid of investing...

... in Neobux. For some time now, I also check my earnings in school. But now some friends also have an account on Neobux and they will login into Neobux as well, so that means that someone logs in into Neobux from the same computer as I did before, we both get banned. So I really would like to invest into Neobux to become a golden member, but what if a class mate logs in into a computer I logged in before? I will loose everything I invested... and there is no way to reclaim my account than. Also, I have logged in into my Neobux account on several computers (10+), so the chance increases someone will do the same on that computer... What to do? Prevent my classmates to take a certain computer? I don't know exactly what computer I logged in also.. and there are like 50+ class rooms in my school and I don't have a seat I always site on, so it is hard to remember what computer I logged in. Is there a chance that Neobux will ban me? (I think this chance is 100%) or will Neobux understand my situation and unban me? Or what should I do if I get banned once? Recently, I have sent this question to Neobux support staff, and they said that loggin in into a public computer is forbidden (it is in their TOS, that is true) but that was the only thing I received as answer, he or she did not said anything about a possible unban ... What is your advice to me? Please I can use some help here, Thank you!

Neobux do not see the IP address of the individual computer in a network. What they see is the IP address of the router that the network uses to connect to the Internet. That means that everyone in the school who logs on to Neobux from the school computers will have the same IP address. You can easily check this by going to http://www.whatismyip.com/ on more than one school computer.

You are right I think. But when I log in into my NeoBux account, I can see in the left under corner 'login' and there I can see a list of my last logins (and failed logins also). What I discovered is that my IP of my own computer (the computer I uses now) is a dynamic one. So what is your advice I should do now? It seems like you have a lot of experience.

I don't know what line Neobux take on dynamic IPs. There must be many members who have them, of course, so they must have a way of checking. It might be a good idea to search the forum and, if you can't find anything that helps, post a question. Neobux don't like to discuss their checking policy too much. If people knew too much detail of how it works, there would inevitably be people trying to scam them. You might have to be careful how you word the question.

Dynamic IP's are all over the world indeed and more and more ISP are using them nowadays... There must be some rule as you say to maintain this 'obstacle' called dynamic IP's. I will certainly first check their forums and try to find somehing that will help me (if so, I will post another reply here), if I do not find what I am looking for (I think this is already discussed, but it is still possible) or I can't find anything relevant, I will post a new post with my question AND will try to carefully word my question. Many thanks, owlwings for your help here, you are a very helpful member here on myLot.
