It’s not illegal to play Pokerstars in America. Its a states rights issue. Some states allow it and some don’t and the ones that don’t could allow it using their various mechanisms for changing the laws (like California’s props or Florida’s citizen ballots) if they wanted to but they don’t. Probably a strong correlation between lottery revenue and online poker being illegal but that’s just a theory without facts backing it.
