Quick google search "state gambling laws" does the trick.
I don't believe that internet gambling is illegal in every state but I stand to be corrected. It is a murky area.

Here's a few qoutes from a recent article in regards to Peter Dicks(SportingBet) being released.

"Offshore Internet gambling, however, is not a crime in New York, and Gov. George Pataki said the state law only permitted extradition if the accused person was physically present in the place where he is accused of breaking the law."

"Eight U.S. states have laws prohibiting Internet gambling: Washington, Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, South Dakota, Michigan and Oregon. Federal law also bans sports bets over the phone, even if the business is from overseas."
