They're all absolutely, perfectly legal. One can bet play betpoints 'across the street' with no fear whatsoever of the U.S. govt swooping in and seizing your fake 'play for fun' betpoints. One can play BJ all day on, say, Bovada. In practice mode, no money changes hands.....all is well and perfectly legal . It's when you FUND such accounts that the waters get murky. It's when money changes the legality, and subsequently the risk of losiing afformentioned money comes into play. At least thats how I understand it.
As long as they pretend to pay me I will pretend to work

you need to fire whoever's giving you this advice. it is illegal to bet from a U.S. IP address. and if you think it's perfectly legal to take bets just because you're website is in Costa Rica well

Dugdog you are 100% wrong.
If you insist you are right, please show us the statute in which it states that it is illegal to place a wager on sports - or anything else for the matter. You will not find it.
Legal to place a wager, legal for private wagers... not legal to accept wagers as a business model.

It is true that there are several offshore sportsbooks that will RESTRICT ACCESS TO US RESIDENTS BASED ON THE IP ADDRESS... but that is their own decision to do so, and in some cases it is because the US DOJ strongly suggested they do so. They are scared of the US DOJ
As you know, there are also several offshore books that have decided to continue to cater to the US resident.
