Many companies pulled out of the United States entirely, although California’s constitution doesn’t mark poker gameplay as illegal in any way. This is more so relative to land-based poker though, which means that the state maintains a strong selection of card rooms throughout the land.

1. TL/DR: Unfortunately yes, online poker is still illegal in California. Ever since the Black Friday when DOJ seized multiple domains of various poker rooms and providers, the US has not changed the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) and various forms of online gambling are prohibited on the federal level.
2. California Penal Code Section 330. It is illegal to be a dealer in a game that is not sanctioned for gambling. The illegality comes in when someone is collecting money as people gamble similar to how Vegas does it and the various other casinos even throughout Los Angeles County.
3. By Steve Beauregard. While each jurisdiction is different, the short answer for most of the country is “Yes,” it’s OK to play poker online for real money in the USA. There exist no federal rules or statues that criminalize playing poker on the internet.
