thanks in advance!!!
1. No because online poker gambling is illegal. So if you play don't tell anyone.
2. Residents are not banned by the provider
3. I think there are two legal online sports betting sites. Not sure of the names though.
4. Yes- you need a 9g. You are best to arrive as a tourist and apply when here. Be prepared for paperwork (going through mine atm and its a ball ache day 50 and I have had to get an extension on my original visa)
