pokerstars user id change

hi,
i would like to know if there is a way to change my pokerstars id, i contacted pokerstars support and they replied:
Thank you for your email.

We do not allow players to close an account with the intention of creating a new one. Furthermore, we unfortunately cannot approve a change to your PokerStars User ID.

We believe that an important part of poker is knowing an opponent. This is because the more you play against someone, the better you know their style of play, and thus how to react to it. If someone changes their User ID, the other players will think it is someone new, but that person still knows them, thus gaining an experience advantage at the tables.

While we can appreciate your strong desire to change your User ID, this policy protects everyone who plays at PokerStars, including you. It would not be fair if one of your opponents, who knows your play very well, changed their User ID, and hidden behind a new identity, used their experience of your play to beat you.

We hope you understand the reasoning behind our policy decision. Please let us know if we can assist you further, and thank you for playing at PokerStars.

Kind regards,

i am wondering if i close my account will they never let me open one again? any information about this would be much appreciated, i fully understand thier policy, but it seems harsh to be stuck with the same screen name for life.

Pretty sure the first sentence sums it up.

lol, imagine being stuck with a name like newguy73 even when you weren't new anymore!
or karenigma when you weren't mysterious anymore
or captianpugwash - when you finally found out what pugwash is

Yeah, what type of idiot puts new in his screen name!

I'd like to change my user ID every day.

You could try creating a new account, but if your previous account has unique information about you, such as bank card details, passport number or IP address, it's probably not advisable.
