I know that selling an account is a gainst the Terms of Agreement but is giving away an account against it as well? I have 3 accounts and my husband wants to start playing, I know he isnt supposed to play on my account so can I give him on of mine or do we have to open an entirely new 4th account? (By give I mean change all the account info over to him so it becomes his.)

Q u o t e:
Ok, then, if I buy him an account do I have to pay for it in a different way since the accounts I have now are paid via my checking account, would it throw upa red flag to have an account under person 'x's name but being paid for by person 'y'?


Our system is currently designed to allow someone to pay for another individuals account. Therefore, the name registered to the debit/credit card does not need to match the name registered to the account.

Additionally, if you are planning on creating a new account for him to use, you may want to consider starting him off with a Recruit a Friend invitation so that you may both take advantage of the benefits of that promotion. More information regarding the Recruit a Friend system is available on the following link:
