Ok so I talked to a lawyer who read the 2006 anti gaming legislation in its entirety and heres the catch. Gambling online is not illegal for US Citizens. However, putting any money in through any Bank in any way located in the US is illegal. The federal government using its constitutional powers to regulate interstate transactions has created the legislation so that it can prosecute anyone who makes a transaction through a US bank. However, nearly every bank in the world that can transfer money to an online poker site at least has a branch or division for transfer somewhere in the USA. So, unless you are handing the cash to the poker site lol, you CAN be prosecuted. However, this does not mean you will. In a lot of ways this could be like online piracy, where only a few people are prosecuted.
