Multi-account: everything you need to know

When working online, users need accounts. And often it's not limited to just one. Some users use dozens and sometimes hundreds of accounts for their own needs. Is it possible to legally use a multi-account, what is it and what is it for?

What is multi-accounting?

This term refers to a user managing multiple accounts on the same website, service, or platform (either simultaneously or alternately). Multi-accounting includes having several profiles on a social network, a betting site, a messenger, etc. There are many reasons why multi-accounting can be useful, including:

• Bypassing bans – If one account gets blocked, another can still be used.
• Working with different geolocations – Creating accounts with different locations is helpful for advertising and other purposes. It can also help avoid high taxes.
• Getting bonuses – Many platforms offer rewards for registration or completing tasks, and multiple accounts allow users to claim more bonuses.
• Increasing profits – This is especially useful for advertisers, as multiple accounts allow them to reach a larger audience.

In order to understand how to create a multi-account, it is important to understand that it depends on a particular service. For example, to create multiple accounts on most websites, you will need additional email addresses. If it is Telegram, another messenger, or a social network, you will need different phone numbers.

Where is multi-accounting used?

You can use multi-accounting in different cases to achieve certain goals. Most often, multiple accounts are typical in the following cases:

• Social media. Running ads, writing reviews/comments, and bypassing blocking are the most common reasons for creating multi-accounts on social media. This is relevant for both marketing professionals and people who want to attract the attention of a larger number of users.
• Cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms. Many exchanges (especially newly created ones) are characterised by token sales or even free distribution (the so-called ‘airdrop’). Firstly, having a large number of accounts increases the chances that you will be selected to receive a limited number of tokens at a favourable price. Also, multi-accounts allow you to make participation in airdrops more effective. Such promotions are often published in Telegram, on social media, or directly on cryptocurrency platforms. In order to receive bonuses within the airdrop, you may need to subscribe to a channel, social media groups, register on a platform, etc. As a result, the more such pre-paid accounts you have, the more tokens you receive.
• Bookmakers. Various betting platforms offer generous bonuses to new players. Thus, more accounts give you more bonuses.
• Parsing. This process involves the automatic collection of information from certain websites, including contact details and information about users, prices, and other data. Multi-accounts allow you to work without blocking.

When working with multi-accounting, it is important to understand that there are risks of blocking if the use of multiple accounts is detected. A high-quality browser will help you to ensure privacy, security, and ease of management of your credentials. An anti-detect browser can be the best solution in this case.
