Only illegal in America.

And I live in America...
Therefore, don't deposit with Echecks?
Even though I have before with no problems?

I just recently heard about this 'close'-wave and it scared the shit out of me so I stopped....
Anyone know for sure?

Richmond, Va.: This is all very interesting, but I thought online betting was illegal. True?

Serge Ravitch: Placing sports bets is illegal as per the Wire Act, but playing online poker is not covered by the Act and is not illegal under federal law. A handful of states (Washington state) do ban it, but it's legal to play in the vast majority of the US.

In FLORIDA, if I play online poker via an echeck through Bank of America, am I safe?

First of all, you should know that even before the Act was passed, online gambling was already deemed illegal by 11 states. I assume this means that the state laws deem online poker to be illegal--I am not familiar with all of the state laws, but that is what I would conclude. The 11 states in which online gambling was deemed illegal--and remains so today--are Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin. Let me repeat, online gambling remains illegal in these states. However, as far as I can tell, no one has ever been prosecuted by any state for gambling online.
