Washington state has made it a Class C felony (Yep... you're in the same category as a rapist or child molestor here) to play online poker or any other form of online gambling. The amazing thing is the law here was pushed through by the dems and the hyper-liberal governor made a huge to do about how magnificent a law it was when she signed it, unlike the federal law which was backed by repubs and mostly badmouthed by the libs. (Not trying to make this a political talk, I think both sides are totally wrong on this one with the exception being the libertarians who want no law banning this civil liberty.)

Thus, my dabbling in online poker when I was in Arizona, where it's perfectly legal, has ended since moving here. According to the law here, you could technically be busted for playing Yahoo poker. Hell, for all I know my XBOX Live games of Texas Hold 'em and WS of Poker games very well might be illegal, too. (The Dems did this here because the indian casinos threatened to stop donating their usual HUGE sums of money to the party if they didn't curb internet gambling which was putting a crimp in their profits. I have no Earthly clue why the cons in the fed outlawed it...)
