Buffered Accounts

Can someone explain the rationale please?

Does this mean you have to hand over your account, ie login & password, for a different account without any ratio?

Depends what you are trading it for. You can trade a buffered account for a different buffered account if you want.

But basically, yes

But is it your own account, and not an invite, you have to hand over, lock, stock & barrel, or is there some sort of "cheating" (dupe accounts having invited yourself and then building up ratios with seedboxes) going on? (insert winky smiley here!!)
