Playing poker online is NOT illegal...funding accounts is.
the UIGEA addresses the funding of accounts, and nothing else..and to be a bit more specific...it is merely for financial institutions.
There are however a few states where it is illegal to play poker on line...Washington, and Nevada are two I can think of right off the top of my head.
In other news, Party Gaming is trying to sell Party Poker and MGM Mirage is interested as is Harrah's. If one of these companies buys Party, then you may see a bigger lobbying push to get one of these bills like the IMGEA through and all is right with the world.
