"It's illegal," I hear you cry. Well, not exactly. I'm not a lawyer but the claim is "Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006" or UIGEA "prohibits the transfer of funds from a financial institution to an Internet gambling site." Gambling by players is never mentioned. I know, this is really slicing it thin.
