I played until last evening. The FBI and FEDS have seized the sites and frozen all the money. I never did play for real money because there were too many 'unknowns'. I have friends whose bank (big US nationwide bank) would not complete transactions as long ago as a month. Some folks knew this was coming for some time! Harry Reid has an online poker bill in the senate and Nevada has some gaming bills for online gambling in state. BTW there is also a bill in the legislature that will allow people to play casino games in there rooms with hand held electronic devices, not sure of all the details but when the Nevada boys get on line I think you can bet they will set the 'legal' action.
