Thanks.

So, if it is not illegal for a poker player under Federal law to gamble on the Internet, and poker sites do not "bet or wager", how is someone engaged in "illegal" Internet gambling, under any law at the Federal level ... thereby triggering the UIGEA ?

(Leaving aside for now the issue of whether a player or site can ever violate a State law.)(Also leaving aside whether a State law can regulate or prohibit International commerce or trade between a US citizen and a foreign company.)

Good point, Milton, another reason why the DOJ has never prosecuted an online poker site, affiliate, Epassporte or pro player touting a site. Too bad no one asked Ms. Hanaway if the DOJ ever prosecuted any entity for operating an online poker site. But she probably would said that online poker was part of the BetOnSports case.
