Some services have to use what is called a "Dynamic IP" address, which changes from session to session. This link explains it better than I can:

What is static IP address/dynamic IP address? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: static IP address, dynamic IP address

LOL.
Would've sucked though, cuz I have ~11K in play chips. So, good thing they didn't figure it out.

Glad they have that. Do you know if they would get banned instantly if you reported it

Always alert support for any of the sites when "symptoms" appear. It has been my experience when hackers or unauthorized attempts are active, they'll get right on it. And never "save" your password with your login; hackers can access these files.
