Is it legal to play online casino games for REAL money in the USA?

A simply yes or no is not what I am looking for in answers. I know there was a bill passed but I am not sure of how it all works. Is there a way to do this without facing legal issues? To any US citizen who gambles at table games online how do you do this and can you get your money out? Which casino? etc......Any info is helpful.Is it legal to play online casino games for REAL money in the USA?
Yes.

The only thing that has changed is the banking laws.

My girlfriends and I like the list at http://upnorthbetting.net/

They have all the top sites listed for U.S players.



If you need help depositing money get a visa debit card online at http://paytrucard.com/ or use Epassporte.



Good Luck and Have Fun!!

Potsie pretty much said it all. I would just like to add that while many online gambling sites have decided to simply refuse to accept money from American players there are still four that have refused to back down ( good for them). Bodog, Fulltiltpoker, Ultimatebet, and Pokerstars are the online poker sites that will still take action from American players.



Hope that helped.
in some places it is, but in ohio i know its not legalIs it legal to play online casino games for REAL money in the USA?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is NO federal law that makes the act of wagering online illegal. The only federal law that addresses gambling is the wire act from the 1960's which makes it illegal to place wagers via the telephone. The US government passed a port security law and tacked on provisions that make it illegal for BANKS, not players, to fund or accept payment from gaming sources. The only problem (for the govt) is that there are dozens of third party methods available for funding and no way to trace ACH credits. In other words, the new provisions are only for show and the end result is a waste of ink. I still use my VISA check card and e-check on my favorite sites. Online gaming will be impossible to completely eliminate from the US. The best they can do is make it inconvenient. Eventually I see the industry being regulated and taxed...heavily!



The only states with laws directed towards online wagering are Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Wisconsin, Washington, Indiana, Nevada, New York, New Jersey and South Dakota.



Some sites have decided, on their own, to no longer accept American players. These are the publicly traded companies and most have returned to private owners. There are still many highly reputable sites that welcome and cater to American clients.
