How illegal is online gambling in US?

The legal interpretation is: playing online poker is not illegal for US citizens, in regards to Federal Law -- unless it is a crime in an individual state, in which case the Federal Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 may apply. The Act makes it a federal crime for five or more persons to engage in a gambling business illegal under state law. Gambling online is definitely illegal in some states, but the Crime Control Act of 1970 does not apply to players. In addition, since the Crime Control Act does not refer to foreign commerce, it is hard to see how a case could be made that it applies to Internet gaming across multiple international borders.

I haven't checked into whether it is legal or not in those countries, but I have seen plenty of Brazilian poker players online. You can find some great sites to play on at casino-australia.net Most places will give you free money to try them out before you deposit, and they are all very reputable.

Heck I figured if I had access to the sites then I was able to gamble. I guess not.

Oh wow, I think in a while everything is going to become virtual to where we won't have to ever leave the home.

Meh, I believe that the true "fun" in gambling besides earning money (of course) is actually just being there. Its more fun if you are at a table playing with real people. I'd prefer playing with real people than playing online anyday.

You have a point. The interaction with other people is what does it for me. I think that the live feeling is much more fun but when I want that quiet time, I play online.

Man really there is nothing fun about giving your money to the slots and losing. If you are smart, you go to win and thats that.

I don't think anyone really cares how illegal it is because they are still going to play no matter what. Or until someone gets caught then you will have a whole totally different story.
