Could you further explain what you're talking about? Do you mean a pawn capturing two queens at one time, or a pawn promoting to two queens, or two pawns promoting to two queens? Sorry for my misunderstanding 
Two queens?
All good. Sorry for not being clear. I have an opponent that has taken two separate pawns to promote both of them to queens, giving him two queens on the board. I haven't been playing online for too long, but I know this isn't possible in traditional play

Perfectly legal under chess rules.
@Lagomorph yes
Well, never got taught that. On a traditional board, how is a 2nd, 3rd, etc queen depicted?
2 queens are handy

Pawn on rook or rook upside down was common when I played OTB.
yes 2 queens are definitely handy
The more queens you have the easier chance of winning

That's often true, but the more queens you have, the more you also have to watch out for stalemate. It's really easy to let happen when you take away so many squares from your opponent
In actual matches and tournaments extra Queens are provided on every board.
Here is an example of 4 Queen madness:
The fun starts on move 40 when both sides have active Queens and with both Kings unsafe.
The confusion goes back 500 years when players in Europe had to agree which rules they would use, either Spanish or Italian. One allowed 2 Queens the other stipulated that it had to be a captured piece that the pawn promoted to. However, with the onset of printing the laws of chess were agreed to this day.
A rook turned upside down rook makes a handy dandy extra queen
Not officially for a few years now. That is why an extra Queen is provided at matches, tournaments and whenever you buy a new set. Online we never see an upside down Rook.
How can pawns redeem more than one queen? Is this a glitch in the game that allows this?
