Betting on sporting events is illegal and there was even a conviction of one sports book operator in the USA a few years back. (Jay Cohen)
As for casino games, the future status is uncertain, however there was a federal court ruling (often referred to as the "Mastercard Ruling") where the court said that these online casino games were not illegal by the wire act because there is no way that this law could have been intended for playing casino games over the internet. That is why there is an effort to outlaw this stuff in Congress.

Currently it is not illegal. Most casinos, however, will not be able to accept visa and MC from USA. The banks have blocked them. There are several other deposit options you can use at an online casino.
