In December echecks were still being done. The legality is a whole other question, but so is gambling from the US in general. Not sure if you are looking for a discussion of the legality of US gambling/transfers, etc. There are other threads discussing this. For a simple answer regarding echecks, yes, there were sites that were allowing echecks from the US in December.

I don't think the legality/illegality of echecks to gambling sites should be your argument to the bill collector. the fact that someone stole your money and it was illegal because you didn't do it should be your argument.
