a bunch of states make it illegal to run gambling sites and otherwise profit commercially from it, for example NY busted paypal for facilitating it, etc but AFAIK nothign illegal for players.

WTO has ruled that the US outlawing internet gambling violates global trade laws and that has been upheld from what I understand so we have that going for us

I'm not too worried aboutit

But what about little Johnny?

The 15 year old kid that stole Dad's credit card and ran up $1,000's in debt.

Isn't he a victim?
