internet poker sites over seas

[edc]

I believe I have read that all internet poker sites are overseas. Is this true and if so why?

Because online gambling is illegal in the United States.

Do you happen to know which law makes internet gambling illegal in the US.
Altho not on internet people at the local horse track near me place bets on races all over the country.
