Yes, it is legal to play poker online for money as long as you are abiding by all applicable state and federal lAWS. In general, online poker is treated the same as offline poker, with the exception that there are no face-to-face interactions between players.
This means that any rules or etiquette that applies to live poker games also applies to online poker games.
One important note is that some states have specific lAWS governing online poker, so make sure you are aware of those before playing. Additionally, some sites may have agreements with certain jurisdictions that prohibit them from allowing players from outside of those agreements to participate.
Make sure you understand the terms of any site you are using before playing.
Finally, remember that no matter what lAWS may be applicable to your state or country, it is always wise to be aware of your own legal rights and responsibilities when playing online poker. If something goes wrong while playing, be sure to speak with an attorney about your specific situation.
