How to ensure successful simultaneous logins for single student account?

While I use limits of my paid Moodlecloud account for my regular courses, I also want to deliver some free webinars. For that, I created single-activity/BigBlueButton course and a kind of 'guest' account that only has an access to this course. As I have limit of 50 users in BigBlueButton session, I expect that up to 49 visitors (plus me as a 'teacher') could login with this account simultaneously and participate in BBB session.

I tested this locally, joining BBB session from four devices under this 'guest' login. Sometimes this works. Sometimes however I can't login and receive a message that this account is logged in already and should logout first. This message seems to happen randomly.

Is there a better way to provide guest access to BBB session?

"...created...a kind of 'guest' account..." means? 

1) You're allowing Guest to enroll?

2) You added a User named "Guest"?
