None. It's illegal and we all abide by the law. I just dutifully purchase my $100 worth of completely legal, education-supporting lottery tickets weekly.

The truth is that it hasn't been sufficiently tested in court. Nobody can claim to know for sure.

Depends on what state you live in. Illegal in some states, not specified in most.

The FBI website states it considers online poker illegal but to my best knowledge does not enforce it. There are prosecution issues because the actual servers are not in the US. So the courts could find that you are actually playing in Costa Rica( or where ever the servers are) and exempt from prosecution. I'll try and find the FBI link ,its in this forum somewhere.

FBI states virtual card games are illegal.

Wow that site is scary, to think if they charge Pokerstars or Full Tilt (granted they are offshore, so I don't know personally if that is possible) they can seize my funds and use it to waste $ on more misappropriated government spending.

You know they say our country is the greatest and maybe it is, but they are starting to piss me off. Sometimes I think I would be better off in the U.K. Anyone that has citizenships in both countries have any comments?

That FBI web page has 0 credibility. It says it is illegal to gamble online, but forgets to mention it is legal to bet on the horses or play the lottery online. That's not gambling? It is pretty suspicious of them to conveniently overlook that hypocrisy. It's as if their public announcements are written by Kyl himself

The FBI is Kyl's bitch.
