just not for money.

thanks GeorgeW for banning online poker for cash to appease the anti-gambling jesus crowd
and the IRS by "encouraging" me to use my cash on taxable goods and activities

I have a few questions.

1. Is online gambling legal to do in the U.S. anymore?
2. What is the tax rate on winnings?
3. If it is legal, What are the best online sites to play for money?
