Why is the US have such strict laws against online poker. My state NJ allows it but there isn't many people who will play so finding tables is annoying. Just wondering

Its not strict laws against "online poker", the real problem is the money transfer. Many States don't have any law regarding online poker, but the sites have moved away from US players because of a potential suit from the US Government about money laundering and a violation of Unlawful Internet gambling Enforcement Act.
