Legal or Illegal?

According to the law, it's illegal in SOME states in the U.S. to gamble on on-line poker sites. Is there any way to check which states do find it illegal? A link or something?

I don't think it is illegal to play poker online. They nail you when you try to deposit or cash out. It is illegal to do wire tranfers for the purposes of gambling. Wire transfers to netteller and other intermediates are where you can get in trouble.
