Anyone play online poker?

I am wondering if anyone plays online poker and what site you use? Also does anyone know specifically the legality of it? I have seen some write ups say it is 100% illegal some say it depends on your state. Anyone have a straight answer?

Is there money involved? I don't know the answer, but I'm curious about the answer myself because of the legality issue.

I have a friend who moved to Las Vegas who plays a lot of online poker and hits the casinos sucking money off people who don't know how to play.

Short answer is, it depends on the state in question. My understanding is that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 prohibits it, but there are a few states which permit residents and visitors to gamble via approved websites.
