I am living in the USA and understand that sports betting online is illegal.
However, I heard if you have a betting account from a UK betting company tied to a UK bank - then it's ok to use this account to place bets provided the funds stay in the UK.
Is this correct?
If it's ok, then is it legal to set up this account while in the USA?
I am a citizen of the UK and would use winnings (if I get any) whenever I visit home. The funds would not enter my US banking account.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Plenty of us bet sports even though it is illegal.. just sign up with your US info and fire away bud :)

If you mean opening an account with Pinnacle or another company that doesn't take USA players, then they will check IPs and you will still not be able to wager more than likely.
