Online gambling is illegal in the United States of America, period
Incorrect. Please state who made this claim. Just because the Justice Department "considers" Internet gambling illegal does not in any way mean it is illegal - otherwise they would state that "Internet gambling is illegal".
There are only a few states that have declared Internet gambling expressly illegal. The federal government is not considered to have jurisdiction over the Internet, nor over gambling, as it has already allowed individual states to determine whether they will allow gambling or not. Nevada is one of those who regulates gambling - but to bring the entire United States into this is quite unwarranted.

It is disappointing that online gamblers don’t have many options or any legal recourse if they suspect cheating. The reality is that with the prohibition of Internet gambling in the US, we have to rely gambling operators to respond to complaints and look out for the interests of their customers.
This weekend, Robert Turner talked at the California Poker Conference about how regulation of Internet gambling can help protect the poker community and online gamblers in the future, ensuring there is accountability and the option for legal recourse if necessary.

Justice Dept. Drafts Bill to Ban Internet Gambling
Thu Aug 3 2000
The U.S. House of Representatives failed last month to pass the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act (HR 3125), but now Interactive Gaming News reports that the Justice Department introduced its own bill to prohibit online gambling on July 27. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) is sponsor of the Comprehensive Internet Gambling Prohibition Act of 2000 (HR 5020). The newer bill aims to prohibit Internet gambling by extending the almost 40-year-old Wire Wager Act, which prohibits interstate gambling on sports "by phone or wire." It is possible that many representatives that oted against HR 3125 will favor HR 5020. However, Congress can take no action on either HR 5020 or HR 3125 until it reconvenes on September 6.

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?

If the survey was based on 389 people is statistically unsound. I have seen and done many surveys (in advertising industry) and that is a miniscule sampling.
Like you said G2B the Internet does attract people that have specific interests. A large number of sports card collectors that have internet access have bought or sold something online.
The odds are that a ery large percentage of people that have a gambling problem will gravitate to internet gambling. It doesn't mean that people that gamble online (that don't already have a problem) will develop a gambling problem.

Cort said the new companies will generate some 500 new jobs and more than US$2 million (euro1.7 million) in gambling licenses fees.
The United States contends that Internet gambling should be prohibited because it iolates some U.S. state laws. Antigua says the U.S. position is contrary to global trade rules.

The federal government does, however, have the power to regulate interstate commerce, which is any commerce that occurs across state lines, which internet gambling does. So they have the power to pass laws regarding internet gambling.

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act
One of the few positive things about The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act for US players is that jurisdiction in US courts may exist RETORACTIVELY to sue Internet casinos. (New legislation cannot criminalize acts ex post facto, but it can be retroactive in civil disputes.) Since the new law defines that all wagers placed on PC’s in the US, now are wagers placed in the US, then US courts can assert jurisdiction…if they want. If RTG is based in Atlanta, then it becomes easier to collect. If Internet gambling wasn’t illegal previously, then that is good for the player. Generally, if a gambling contract is illegal, it is usually unenforceable in the states, BUT you might invoke the equitable powers of the court to recover wagers placed as unjust enrichment.

Internet gamblers were also more likely to be unmarried and younger than those who never used the internet for gambling.

This looks like a ery close match to what I surmised above. But the last bit is totally laughable, considering that nearly every university has free net access and this "traditional association" should have been blown away a long time ago by cheap and free Net access (Netzero, as an example), community services such as libraries, etc.
