Re: that\'s a darn right jiffy idea - rough draft
The US Justice Department has made it quite clear that they will not prosecute individual Internet poker players. If they did, Moneymaker and Raymer would both have been charged with violating the Wire Act, which they were not. Nonetheless, to answer your question: no, Internet gambling is not legal in any state, town, village or hamlet in the US (though North Dakota may change that).
Since most of these sites seem to be based in countries where the gambling age is 18, I would place the de facto minimum age for Internet gambling at 18. I don't think that can be established hard and fast, but I'd wait until then to stay on the leeward side of the law. (I'm 17, waiting for my 18th at the earliest, to start.)
