This is a clear violations of PokerStars terms and conditions.
Would you report this or not ?
It's not strictly illegal.
Examples of things which are beyond your control and therefore
allowed, subject to PokerStars being able to corroborate with evidence, include:
- A thunderstorm strikes your location and takes the power down for the surrounding area, so you call a friend to take over your account while you make alternative arrangements.
- Your child is taken ill and you have to attend hospital, so you call a friend to take over your account.
- You are playing in a tournament and lose internet access in your home due to a failure of your ISP. You call a friend and he takes over while you make alternative arrangements.
