On a deeper note - why is it illegal in some / many jurisdictions?  Particularly the US?  As I understand it - the UIGEA was required because the Internet means that it is likely that far more people will incur a problem with their gambling because of the factors such as anonymity, accessibility, 24 / 7 play, no interruptions.  I have been carrying out a study (as some of you might know) regarding certain website features which may be helpful to players who feel their gambling is becoming a problem - and this is not some sort of hijacking of a thread but I have had so many (really so so so many) problems with forum members who claim that they cant help me out because they do not gamble because they only play online poker and so dont use gambling websites.  But does this lack of clarity about online poker being legal mean that in the eyes of US law (UIGEA) that online poker is a form of gambling?  So - I was just wondering for the parts of the world and parts of the US or is it all of the US - why is it illegal?  Or what is the argument used to make it illegal?
