Is it legal to play party poker or any like site on the internet?
I heard that it was now against the law to play poker online?

- that bill has not yet been approved by the senate. If you are a poker fan, write to your senator and tell them you do not support such a ban.
- It is not illegal to play for free. It is however illegal to deposit money and play for real. That is why you are not able to deposit money via an American Bank credit card to the site. You have to use a third party money transfer service like Firepay.com.
- free poker should be still legal
- No new legislation has been passed into law at the federal level, although the US house of representatives has passed a bill which is awaiting action in the senate. There is also a mad dash by some members of Congress to get an online gambling ban attached to other non-gambling legislation. Only time will tell if that will happen. It is possible, however, that you may live in a law that has a ban on internet gambling. You should check your local laws before deciding whether or not to participate.
- No law has passed yet.
