I'm always not clear on whether it is legal to play online or not. I understand that there is no law against it in my state (CA), but is there a federal law against online poker? Can someone clarify what the latest on the federal vs state law on online poker?

i thought it was legal to play, but it's illegal for the banks to let your deposits go through

keep in mind though that the bill the senate was trying to pass in 2012 had language in it from senator kyl attached to reids bill that said in a nut shell.

It would make it illegal for anyone to play online gaming of anytype. sportsbook poker you name it.

only legal would be what would be created within the US or your state.

I think its so complicated and hard to follow all the rules and regulations for online poker these days.Its just sad its so difficult for all us USA players to play and cash out now,yet u can probably go out and buy a legal weapon easier. SAD...
