I mean, what if it's halloween and the lady says take one piece of candy(king size snickers bars!), you do, then you come back in a new costume and she tells you take one piece of candy... this surely is no crime, immoral? ehhh such a fine line but I still say no.
A good arguement against this would to put yourself in the position of the poker sites, if you were the poker sites would you want an individual double dipping? no, yet if I was the poker site and they were good enough to use all different "masking" things so it couldn't be detected, o well I'm shit out of luck. If I'm still making money from the site I'm not gonna be complaining to much about it anyway if its not widespread because as long as they *arn't donig something like zeejustine, there is no gauruntee that they arn't still making me money by making another account even with the bonuses.
*Things such as what zeejustin did are wrong, He actually played multiple accounts at the same time. By double dipping I just mean getting the same bonuses or watever again.
I personally don't have the energy, time, or resources to be able to do multiple accounts. It's not really as easy as it might seem if the poker site actually has suffiecient security for that type of thing.
Given that analogy, you don't see how it's morally wrong? Let alone against the poker rooms Ts & Cs. Or how it hurts the industry as a whole? If the same kids came back over and over again to take the candy, eventually there is no candy left and the people giving away the candy stop giving it away cause it's just the same kids taking it...
I do but I don't... I kind of see it like a loop hole. I know these aren't the same things but its kinda like any arbitrage... technically your just taking advantage of a system that most people don't know how to take advantage of(this is why the system still exists because it works as long as most "follow by the rules" althought breaking the rules isn't immoral)... if everyone knew how to do the arbitrage then it is clear that certain system could not exist in the way it is, similiary to poker sites.
Maybe I'm wrong here or maybe my shitty "analogy" is confusing... I can elaborate if you don't follow.
In the philosophical sense you would be committing the legalistic fallacy if you were to say that because it is a law it is necessarily immoral to break the law and even a worse fallacy if you were to say that breaking the T&C of a poker site is immoral. You don't actually say this but just to note in case you were implying it. Yes I do see how it hurts the industry as a whole but that still does not necessarily make it immoral. Is it immoral or not? I'd still like to here more on that. |
