No. The law presumes that a minor who engages in such acts does so with the knowledge that he or she is committing fraud and therefore no fault can be attributed to the organization that was involved.

Technically no. It is down to the bookmakers to ensure you are over 18. howvever, given the new gambling comission I'm not sure. I seriously wouldn't recommend it as you could end up in hot water!

Also, take it from someone who worked in a bookies, gambling is a mugs game!!
