I guess so. But this in my opinion a rather worthless rule. Honestly. I agree that some people may view this as cheating, but in a sense you are not letting someone else log into your account because chances are, you are already logged in. And a sudden change from 350 to 1000 may just be a very lucky streak. I mean, I normally get around 600 points. But say that I got 2 fish neggs. My score would be well over 1000 if I continue playing properly. So you can't just accuse someone of cheating simply because they got a very high score once.
The only thing this rule does is give overzealous staff more excuses to freeze people for 'chating', when all they did was have a lucky streak. Plus, TNT should be wholeheartedly agreeing to allow people from the same household to (partially)share an account, so long as only one person plays at a time. Because, I mean if your bro won't make a new account (he may not want to, may only like one game, etc), then the least he can do is give TNT the satisfaction of adding a few pageviews to their count (a couple thousand if he plays neoquest). I know that sharing an account is against the rules and all that, but they should allow it to a degree. Such as, only one person on the account at a time, and you have to live together in the same household. The only reason I can think of that they would want otherwise, is to raise their account numbers up a little.
And back onto the topic, by letting your mother play deadly-dice for you, you are 101% safe from getting frozen. There is no skilll involved, no possible programs that can alter your score, whatever. So TNT will have no grounds upon which to freeze your account, other than saying that 'you were online later than usual', and I have NEVER heard of anyone get frozen for something like this.
I know waht I said may be controvesial, but this is what I believe.

everconfused wrote:hiddenneggs, don't even suggest that! I'm sure no one would find out, but you never know. And it's part of the rules now - no one is allowed to play games for anyone else (especially avatar games, which deadly dice is).
Maybe you could sweet talk mom into letting you stay up late one night as a special holiday treat? Watch, you'd probably win, gain level and get the avatar! Things never seem to work quite the way we want them

Trust me, i'd do that if she played neo. XD But now that you mentione it, my 25 year old sister plays.
Since I always leave my acount logged in on my computer, and my sis stays logged in on my mom's computer, She's asked my to do the advent callander for her before when she couldn't...hmmm, she is known to be up late, I could have her do it. ^^

No one is allowed to play games for you to get an av (or a trophy). I guess too many people were letting other people log into their accounts and play for them?
Let's use the Meerca Chase av as an example. We'll say you normally get 350 average points from that game. Now, you let your brother play and because he's really good at this type of game he easily scores 1,000 points. Do you think TNT's not going to notice that kind of a sudden difference in a score? To them (and I agree) letting someone else play your game on your account is cheating, sorry.
You know, that's true. But there's a wee problem with this. If you're logged in at home, and your brother plays a game for you, without logging out, or using another PC, or another account, there is not chance for TNT to find out you did it.
As for levels I would also recommend the lab-ray. Deadly Dice is just a bit too random, and if you go there with the intend to loose levels I could swear that you'll have a winning streak.

I haven't got much chance playing deadly dice ...
So far I've lost over 20 levels via the lab n my pet is a mere level 18 chia ...
