us players funding their online gambling accounts are not breaking the law.
online gambling is not illegal, except in maryland and a few other states.
the recent bill that passed made funding online gambling account illegal, but only for the gambling site.

By doing this he effectively made it very difficult to transfer money in and out of online gaming sites. He was hoping that this law would appeal to his base of radical 'Christian' fanatics, and help him with his Presidential bid.The reality is, that even fundamentalists radical Christians noticed the guy was a sleezebag and didn't vote for people of his ilk in the last election.The fallout from what this idiot did is that many online casinos shut their doors to America, since operating an online casino is illegal according to American law. This means that if Johnny English from Britain opens an online casino and accepts bets from Americans, he can get arrested next time he brings his kids to Disneyland on vacation.So many legitimate online casinos were forced to ban Americans. They didn't want to, but America is a nice place to vacation and the directors didn't want to take the risk of ending up in jail.Plenty of other casinos that are based in various other parts of the world remain open however. They are often privately owned and therefore it is far harder to trace the managers and owners. These sites decided to continue providing a service that Americans want, and probably also made the decision not to visit America.The good news is that the gambling law is not yet in full effect, and with any luck the Democrats will water it down because they believe the law was added in a corrupt and underhand way. We won't know exactly what is going to happen until the summer.Until that time there are plenty of online casinos out there that still support American players. Buy in with a company like Neteller and have fun. Even under the new law you are not actually breaking the law by gambling. The law is directed at gaming sites and American financial institutions.Good luck.i heard that too

here is a summary of what is going on with online gambling in the united states.
1) prior to the passing of the unlawful internet gambling enforcement act of 2006, eleven states had laws on the books that specifically ban all forms of online gambling.
these states are: il, in, la, mi, nj, nv, ny, or, sd, wa, wi.
online gambling continues to be considered illegal in these states by these state governments.
(it should be noted that i have never heard of any player in any of these states being prosecuted under these state laws.)
2) the act did nothing to alter, curtail, or extend state laws regarding online gambling.
thus, it did not make online gambling illegal in all states.
3) the act places restrictions on the financial transactions that occur in connection with online gambling; it restricts electronic fund transfers and the use of credit cards in connection with such wagering.
this means that players can no longer make wagers, or collect winnings using electronic fund transfers, credit or debit cards, or some other online payment systems.
in response to the act, online gambling sites have done one of three things with respect to us-based real-money players:1) continue to accept us-based real-money players from all states2) accept us-based real-money players from states other than the states in which online gambling is specifically outlawed (meaning no players from the states listed above)3) closed their site to all us-based real-money players
here is a list of all gaming sites that continue to accept us-based real-money players from all states:http://theonlinecasinogamblingdirectory.com/s.php?as_usa=1&src=yahooanswers
players that live outside of the restricted states (listed above) have more gaming sites available to them:http://theonlinecasinogamblingdirectory.com/s.php?as_usa=2&src=yahooanswers
and players outside of the united states have the most options available to them:http://theonlinecasinogamblingdirectory.com/s.php?src=yahooanswers
these lists are updated daily as gaming sites establish and publish their policy with respect to us-based real-money players.
best of luck!
