I am curious, i was reading through another forum the other day, SBR and was reading about various nightmare stories about slow payments, bets cancelled, limits set and so forth.
Anyway on one forum someone bemoaned the fact that they could not bet on betfair which eliminates most of these issues, i assume because it is illegal and betfair wont accept bets from US residents.
So the question is if someone gave money to a EU resident to place a bet on their behalf, is this illegal and would the person placing the bet on behalf of the US resident face prosecution.
