No person shall directly or indirectly act as an intermediary, transmitter, or agent in the placing of wagers for a holder of a telephone wagering account. No person shall in any manner place a wager through telephone account wagering, on behalf of a holder of a telephone wagering account. Only the holder of a telephone wagering account shall place a telephone wager. Any person violating this subsection shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
