Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) passed in October of 2006 makes it illegal for financial institutions to knowingly transfer funds for the purpose of illegal gambling. The law does not effect online players. The operators of online casinos may be violating the wire act, by transfer funds for illegal gambling. Again this does not affect the players.
The purpose of these laws is to go after the money, not the individual. Several states have placed further restrictions on the operators and many online casinos will no longer take bets from players located in these states. The states are Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Indiana, Nevada, South Dakota, New Jersey and New York. Many online casinos still except wagers from players outside of these states.
Golden Casino is the only casino that I know of that still accepts players from all 50 states. You can use US credit cards to make deposits. This would seem to be in violation of the UIGEA act, but that is not the players concern.
