YES.....it is possible but with a BIG but:

You need to pay for a VPN (a proxy IP address) - that is basically a service you pay for to re-route your US IP address to a server located in UK. This way when you log on BF thinks you are located in the UK where betting is 'legal' - you will still need a UK bank account to deposit money in bf of course.

A VPN cost about £5 to £10 q month - i think!

It's trivial to get around it I'd imagine. All you need is 1 friend to help you.

DEVLIN, I suspect the Yanks have set up accounts in Canadian banks and are trading through Canadian proxy IP's. Very easy to do.
