I understand that when you log in to a bookmaker's website it captures the serial number of the device you are logging in from, as well as IP address, location etc. Does anyone know if you are using a 4g sender to go online whether the 4g sender device serial number is captured?

TIA

The nearest thing to "the serial number of the device you are logging in from" that anything can capture is your MAC address - which is technically speaking a property of the network adaptor in your PC etc but for simplicity's sake is a unique number associated with your PC.

What do you mean by "4g sender device"?

Thanks longbridge.

I use a 4g router/sender to create a wifi connection, if I knew information wasn't collected about the router I could reuse them instead of buying a new one for each new person.

Hills had my IP address at home and at work tracked as well as my 4g on my mobile.  Any account I used on any of those 3 platforms was instantly restricted and in some cases closed.

I ended up buying burner phones for a bit but I just felt more and more like a drug dealer, all to get £100 on a football match or something.

Haven't bet with them in any shape or form for a long time now, but probably that's what they wanted to hear.

Your burner phone is my new tablet, new SIM, new 4g router equivalent @Wildcat, being able to use old 4g routers would save me quite a few quid in the long run but until someone could 100% confirm that the router info isn't harvested I'll keep buying new ones!!!
