Here is a summary of what is going on with online gambling in the United States.
1) Prior to the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, eleven states had laws on the books that specifically ban all forms of online gambling. These states are: IL, IN, LA, MI, NJ, NV, NY, OR, SD, WA, WI. Online gambling continues to be considered illegal in these states.
2) The Act did nothing to alter, curtail, or extend state laws regarding online gambling. Thus, it did not make online gambling illegal in all states.
3) The Act places restrictions on the financial transactions that occur in connection with online gambling; it restricts electronic fund transfers and the use of credit cards in connection with such wagering. This means that players can no longer make wagers, or collect winnings using electronic fund transfers, credit or debit cards, or some other online payment systems.
In response to the Act, online gambling sites have done one of three things with respect to US-based real-money players:
1) Continue to accept US-based real-money players from all states
2) Accept US-based real-money players from states other than the states in which online gambling is specifically outlawed (meaning no players from the states listed above)
3) Closed their site to all US-based real-money players
Here is a list of all gaming sites that continue to accept US-based real-money players from all states:

Here is a list of online poker sites that continue to accept US-based real-money players from all states:

Both of these lists are updated daily as gaming sites establish and publish their policy with respect to US-based real-money players.
Best of luck!

The law that was just passed isn't about gambling online....it's about wiring money to gambling sites.....but - the effect is the same. There are still poker sites that are open to U.S. customers such as Full Tilt Poker & Poker Stars.

If next year's WSOP winner is an American who won a seat on line, then we'll know if it's legal, because if it isn't he'll be the one arrested.
