Its legal, I work in the gambling business and I know that its perfectly legal to play online gambling.
Lots of people think its illegal because they hear rumours and things like that but there are people that play online.

Might have trouble with an e-check directly transferring to a poker site, due to the banking law passed a few years back. May have to do a 2-step, using the e-check to purchase a reloadable card that the poker site takes.
The gambling itself is fine as far as the Feds are concerned. Depending on where you live in the US, it might be illegal based on State of local laws, however there are generally considered toothless and unenforceable, so I wouldn’t lose much sleep over it.

As an online poker player located in the United States you are NOT violating the UIEGA or any other federal law, but you might be violating State or Tirbal law depending on the laws in the State or Native American Reservation where you are located. It is your responsibility to determine the legality of playing online poker under the law where you are located.
