Is it illegal to play online poker - No.
As others have mentioned, the UIGEA doesn't affect cashouts, only depositing onto sites. Some believe that the UIGEA will open up
intrastate online gambling sites.
I suggest reading the legislation forum, there's plenty of discussion about the UIGEA. Also there's other stuff on the Internet you can read for yourself and form your own opinions.
