No it just means there's a bunch of people that play at this one location because:
a) they receive coaching from the affiliate
b) they probably don't have their own computer/internet
They each provide ID and each have their own Stars account.
The affiliate doesn't make any money if everyone's on one account. He needs the signups. I'd be more worried about multi-accounting going on than multiple players on one account.
Take a look at the old WoW gold farmer idea if you don't think people are capable of this.
20,000 hands of 25nl @ 1 ptBB/100 over 15 hours 24 tabling = $100 and is a damn nice wage compared to what they would get anywhere else, even if the affiliate took 1/2. Find some people that play/learn well and put up significant winrates and you have yourself a nice little business. iirc the company I work for pays Chinese labourers something like $2-$3 per hour and that's considered above average (if what they tell me is true).
These people have work ethic, I mean, 24 hour
video game sessions are not at all uncommon if some news stories I've read are somewhat true. And now to get paid for it? Sick bonus.
