Question:    Is playing Online Poker a legal thing to do?

Answer:    Online poker games are legal in some of countries like Argentina and Australia where online casinos are licensed. Although, in the US, legislation has been proposed to make online betting illegal, but there is no legislation presently in place. This legislation has been proposed not to target casual poker players, but rather targets online casino operators. Due to this, most of the online gambling sites operate their servers from outside the US, where US laws do not apply and where gambling is legal.
