Thanks!
There is no existing federal law that makes Internet gambling a crime. There has been much debate as to whether the "Wire Act" which was enacted prior to the Internet would apply and thus make it illegal...but this has never held up in any court (that I'm aware of). I seem to remember a lawsuit in Louisiana where it did not hold up but that case is being appealed.
Unless your state has specific Internet Gambling Laws, (I think there are about 5 now?), then you should be ok. I know Missouri, Minnesota, Nevada, California and Arizona have specific laws. I can't remember any others. Anyone care to add to the list?
