I was speaking of online gambling/poker, not physical trips to places where gambling is legal. One may argue that they are virtually the same, but they are not necessarily so.

As for online poker, I think it already is illegal in many states, New York to name one.

Enforcing it is a different matter, however.

How can they? Perhaps they go to the major ISP's and track which users are using the network ports associated with online poker sites. They get your name and issue you a subpoena.

It is technically feasible, but right now there is no motivation to pursue a single offender. However, there was a point in 1999 where many thought there was no way the RIAA was going to be able to put a dent in .mp3 music sharing. Perhaps they haven't, but I do know that several people have been sued for sharing music files online.
