I got a call from my mothers friend she has a high profile job out side of NV. Her son who is 21 but has no credit card and still lives with his mommy asked permission to make an account at some online RGT casino I believe , using her information and credit card. Not thinking she said yes. It was only $200. and he won around 600 bucks playing in the casino. When cash out time came and I'm not sure but I think they wanted verification of the credit card, ID,utility bill. her son asked her for all that stuff. His mom Now thinking a bit more about what was going on she then remembered hearing that online gambling may not be legal. She then called me since she knows I set my mom up online and that I have some gambling knowledge.
Question: Since she didn't actually gamble but allowed her son to use her information to do so, can she be held responsible if somehow someone brought this to light or someone tried to prosecute?
I told her probably by the the casinos own rules that was most likely against there rules.

What prosecutor is going to care about this "small potatoes" violation particularly when the mother thought the credit card was only for character reference purposes and his gambling was merely for non-cashable points.
Was a US statute about credit card transfers for online gambling violated? Well, it seems so but knowledge of the mother was lacking at the time.
