Are there any risks involved in asking a friend to use his credit card to register a poker account? Say, on party poker for example? If there are risks, then what are they?

OMG. Yes! If it's found out, Neteller would have every right to close your account. Why not use your own money? Do you not have a bank account of your own? Sorry to sound so harsh, but if you don't have the means yourself to play, well, then...you shouldn't in my honest opinion.Thanks for the link juicee. So is it risky to use someone else's credit card to deposit cash into your Neteller account, which will in turn be used on PartyPoker?
Edit: I realize that I might come off as committing credit card fraud because I didn't specify the circumstances under which I deposited with someone else's credit card. Not to worry though, I had very good reason to use Lori's credit card. The reason was specifically that I didn't actually have my own credit card at the time (I was waiting for a new one to arrive in the mail) and since both of our cards are connected to the same bank account (mine) I figured that it didn't matter which one I used.
I was - am - an authorized user on her account, but the trouble of proving this to Party Poker is more hassle than I'd recommend anyone to attempt to go through.It would be credit card fraud - if you are not an authorized user on her account. Howver you have nothing to fear unless you make her very angry - she would have to accept responsibility for giving you access to her card - or be willing to file charges against you for using it without her knowledge.
Somehow I think you might be safe on that one lol.
