    it is NOT illegal to gamble on the internet from the US. it is, however, illegal to send money to sportsbooks for the purpose of betting.. LOL

    They can't tax the $$, so they want to ban them... but right now. the sole responsibility for this lies on the banking system. You don't have to worry about it.. but if they realize you are accepting $$ from sports books, they can take it away at the bank.

    oh.. and it is TOTALLY legal to gamble on horse racing online.. classism at it's best

    just like tax on cigarettes, but very little/none on cigars.

    that is how i understand it anyway..
