But an IP alone doesn't say much about multi account, think college dorms or schools or bars, everyone that uses the same wifi will end up with the same IP and it's gonna be a LOT of people
With my recent account closures, I'd have to say I agree. I don't think they close accounts based on IP alone, if at all.
It's literally impossible to base any check on the IP alone
You could ADD it to a list of other triggers, like:
- browser cookies (very fingerprinty)
- a whole lot of browser configs, like size, DPI and much more, read more here:

- account info, including name, payment, address, etc
Raise one or more flags and they're bound to check the IP too, but since a lot of home ISP give you a dynamic IP (and all the mobile phones plans as well) it's really the least useful check.. I just need to reboot my router to get a new IP, but everything else used to track me stay the same
