The Wire Act of 1961 applied to phone lines and the USLotto vs the USA case went to the SCOTUS and they agreed that using a computer to gamble violated the wire act because we use phone lines accross state lines to connect to the internet even if to a foreign nation.
The USLotto site was doing a few million $$ per day on an Indian reservation in Idaho !
