I am afraid it is. Several AP's including one on this very site, get rather upset, every time I mention multiple accounts.
There are 'tricks' to acquiring multiple players cards, which I won't reveal, but in my case, I sort of lucked into it. When I moved to Pennsylvania from Florida at age 18 and got my PA state ID, the clerk incorrectly recorded my birth date and year. This was several years before I had heard of or had any interest in blackjack play, so it was not some sort of pre-planning. At the time the big benefit was that I could legally drink a year earlier,
because it was a real ID, not a fake ID.
Several years later, when I became interested in blackjack, I started playing just a few months before my 21st birthday. And when I maintained both ID's with different DoB, through another relocation to Vegas, I was able to get multiple accounts. DoB is a 'key' piece of info in used to link accounts. Many players have multiple mailing addresses, few have multiple DoB's.
And now, I will get a nasty PM from one of our members.
So to that member, I will say, I only revealed my unique circumstances (which in itself probably isn't a good idea), not any secrets for acquiring multiple accounts.
