So, if poker was not illegal before (unless specifically stated by a state) then it is not now.

I must ask again, where are these states where online poker businesses are legal?

A few years ago in a MasterCard Casino gaming suit the 5th circuit and the 5th circuit appeals ruled the 1961 Wire Act does NOT cover Casinos games.

Now, the DoJ / Kyl and others claim that Internet Poker is illegal.

We are now left with the question, WHO is right?

Since the UIGEA does NOT define illegal gambling, only referencing it in general the only conclusion SHOULD be the courts have ruled and until otherwise they SHOULD be the correct authority.
