Again and again we see unbanrequest of players from said country who are accused of multiaccounting or accountsharing.

Considering I have knowledge about this subject, I'll answer your concerns about this matter. Theoretically, IPv4 addresses in a country have a 'pool' and are assigned (purchased/rented) by network providers to provide their customers with network connectivity. When a customer is assigned one IPv4 address, they can make use of it for as long as the provider decides. In some countries a customer has the same IPv4 address for months, in some others a few days. In other cases, you can even get a new IPv4 by simply restarting your home router.

When there's an IP match in the exact same hour and the exact same minute of the day, what you claim as caused by an 'issue' is simply impossible. The claim you make would mean that this would happen in 1 out of 10,626,877 cases, as that's the amount of IPv4 addresses Saudi Arabia has (Source: https://lite.ip2location.com/saudi-arabi...ess-ranges).

So yes, your theory could work but in practice and real life things work differently. Now you can try and search/find another excuse as for why our claims are not valid but I'll leave that up to you.
