It will depend entirely on where you are in the world. In some countries, in Asia for example, gambling of any kind, online or not, is illegal. In the UK Poker is legal online providing you have the right license. In the US it is a bit of a grey area. Poker, or gambling in general, is not illegal. However the online transaction of money for the process of gambling IS illegal. To get around this any poker room that accepts US players will be based off shore and away from the jurisdiction of this legislation.
