I place wagers for a few people, and have since they started with the mobile betting
They are after the BIG fish who bet 5 figures or more per game, and who try to get past IRS taxation when placing wagers. As long as the wagers are under $10k everything is fine and not reportable.
The guys I proxy for wager anywhere between $50-$5000 a game, and no problems at all.
Can read about it here.

If you are allowed to bet under your own name I'm not sure why they make you need a proxy then. Seems like a pretty useless hoop if its web based.
