FBI says betting on 'virtual card games' is illegal in US

[permafrost]

'it’s illegal to gamble online in the United States'

They make some broad statements. Are they correct?

The tone with which this was written puts me on major tilt.

They need to tell AOL, MSN, & Yahoo! as well.

BS, the prior laws do not apply except to Sporrts betting (2 FEDERAL COURTS RULED)so we got the UIGEA.

The UIGEA covers games of chance.

Apparently the FBI has forgot that it's job is to "Enforce" the Law vs. "Create" the Law. Sounds like the guy who crafted this needs a 3rd grade School House Rock lesson on the roles of the 3 branches of government.

How can they say something like this. I was under the assumption that actually playing wasn't illegal. I'm surprised this isn't more concerning to everybody here.
