Is play bridge for money option illegal in UK? I live in Wales and I can't play bridge for money on BBO.

It's certainly legal here (and in Wales). I don't know why you can't play.

I don't have play for money option. I have contacted a "yellow" user and I was told that this must be the only reason, a legal matter. I attached a capture, you can see that play for money bar is missing.

Try again nasucim, not sure why you can't see, but should be okay now.

UK should be able to play. Some states in USA + Italy + a few countries that we know of, we don't allow it to be seen.
