Making all Internet gambling in WA a felony is a relatively recent thing. Passed by progressives for their political allies the Indian Tribes. (WA doesn't even get any share of the gaming proceeds.) I know it is separate from the Federal Wire Act, but I present it as a counter to the commenters here that seem to believe restricting online gambling is some kind of a Trump/GOP thing. Progressive democratic party politicians are more than happy to criminalize online gambling when powerful interest groups that give them money ask for it.
