Just to clarify, because this comes up fairly often: as far as the UIGEA and the Feds are concerned, there is nothing inherently illegal about any online gaming operation sending money
to you. (The Feds are probably just fine with you bringing the money back into the States from overseas and putting in back into the economy, right?) The UIGEA's provisions are targeted at making it difficult for the online gaming operations to receive money
from you.
So a US bank could openly receive money
from offshore gaming operations and send them to you, even though the reverse transaction might be prohibited by the UIGEA.
