I second the nomination to remove the self-proclaimed fraudster

You know interpreting the line between what's in compliance or not has always bothered me a little. I've never seen a thorough discussion of the subject - it almost seems as if it's "taboo" to even discuss in detail what exactly constitutes player fraud.
I know this is off-topic but, nonetheless, just was wondering
Am I in violation when I allow my wife to play a few hundred hands of BJ on my account? Who needs a dishwasher, I mean auto-play, when you have a wife? Would it make a difference if I paid her, as opposed to not paying her, any winnings she won during her play out of the cash-out? If I told her I had a 100/100 deal and just let her play it, assuming she gave me the $100? (Needless to say this has never happened as it will be a cold day before my wife gives me even $1
) Although the checking account that funds Neteller is jointly-held, if it matters. (Side question - can Neteller accounts be jointly-held? I should look into that.)
When I pop-over from a heart attack from losing that last $100 double at Crypto, will I be in violation if my wife finishes the deal and cashes out the money or, since casino accounts can't be jointly-held, I assume, would, in order to stay in compliance with the T&C, the money have to pass thru my estate instead of to her by operation of law? I suppose so.
If my brother-in-law comes over while I'm playing and we're having fun and he suggests I raise my bet, and I do, is he "participating in the games"? What if I paid him the $10 he made or he paid me the $10 he lost? Is it any different if I just absorb the loss or gain and he does not profit or lose?
Likewise, if I'm at a friend's house and offer advice and he accepts it, is that fraud if I'm not financially involved? Is he in violation if he pays me, say, a flat consulting fee?
Maybe all of these would constitute technical violations (I suspect they might), albeit perhaps minor ones, if there is such a thing. The only thing I've ever done is let my wife occasionally play when she wants to and I just absorb the loss or gain. It's just fun for us. Also, I have raised my bets a few times for the heck of it, against my better judgment, at my brother-in-law's suggestion. But I figure, ultimately, it's my decision. On the other hand, if he suggests the wrong play, sure as the sun rises in the East, I veto it.
Although I've had offers from people asking me to come to their houses and play on their accounts, and split the money in some fashion, for reasons perhaps more pragmatic than moral, for whatever reason, I'm just not into that. I guess that's where I draw the line.
Anyway, just wondered while on my 3rd screwdriver of the nite exactly where the line is drawn and how much of a fraudster I am.
Now, in golf, it's real simple - it's a violation of the rules to seek or give advice - so don't ask your buddy what club he just hit before you hit your shot! (though you can look in his bag to find out - how silly is that?)
