The US Justice Department insists internet gambling companies are illegal and operators of such enterprises could be prosecuted under three federal statutes: the Interstate Wire Act, the Illegal Gambling Business Act and the Travel Act.

If they\’re taking bets in the UK, and it\’s legal there, that\’s fine; but if they\’re taking bets in the United States, that\’s illegal, and they will be prosecuted,” a senior Justice Department official said.
