Why do poker rooms require I speak only English in chat?
The requirement to speak only in English is logical. This is because poker rooms try to avoid cheating and unfair play. Players not speaking in English can share their card information and easily knock out other players. Cartel play is prohibited in most poker rooms. Players who do this are punished, sometimes their funds frozen.
Can I have more than one account at a room?
No. Once you have registered with a room, you have registered, even if you haven't played there in a month or more OR had money there. If you haven't played at a site for a while and you want to play there again, just re-enter your screen name and password. (If you have forgotten either or both, click on the "forgot my password" link that all sites have where you log-in and your info will be emailed to you.)
