gambling winnings count as employment?

Post by nickmpco » Tue May 01, 2018 6:23 pm

Hi All,

This might seem like a dumb question, but I am just a bit paranoid. I am on a Tier 2 visa, and would like to place a few small bets on the NBA finals. I understand there are strict rules about secondary employment while on this visa, but I cannot imagine that gambling winnings would violate the rules? Many thanks for the help!

Well can I get some advice then? I gather from your response that it is a very dumb question, but I am a dumb guy!

It doesn't count as employment.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

If you don't have advice to offer kindly refrain from posting, you seem to post non relevant posts in topics quite a bit on the forum.

Anyone is free to ask and check first.
