Many (most?) U.S. laws have little to do with what actually happens, but rather what could happen.

It doesn't really matter if terrorist money has been transfered using online gaming vehicles. What is important is that the U.S. gov't believes it's possible.

Was terrorist money transfered around places like NETeller and poker sites? I dunno, but I doubt it. Was it possible? Hell yeah. Chip dump. P2Ps. Gift cards. You name it. Across international boundaries. Washed at least twice.

Person A dumps $100,000 to Person B in a headsup NL poker game.
Person B vouchers/transfers it to Person C within the poker site.
Person C withdraws to NETeller.
Person C makes transfers/P2Ps to Person D within NETeller.
Person E uses Person D's NETeller debit card.

(Quite frankly, that's way more complicated than necessary. Before this year, miscreants could just keep all their transactions on NETeller.)

Terrorists washing money? Probably not. Drug dealers and other criminal types? Sure, for medium-sized transactions -- I could see that.
