It's not illegal to gamble online in the USA, for the player.
If you run an online gaming site on US soil, you cannot accept wagers from American clients. As I understand the law, it is legal to operate a gaming site if your customers are in foreign countries.

EDIT...Changed my answer on this one
I started reading more about this and it seems the online gambling is not illegal , the gov't passed laws about how you can send and receive money for it. You can't use CC cards etc. and the wire law..hmm?
There is so much legal stuff involved, now I'm confused. A professional in this area could better answer this..sorry
Good Luck in your ventures!

Each of the 50 states has a law banning it.
And the state of Washington has passed a law making it a felony to play on-line poker in that state.
