It's clearly a class C felony. Possession of child pornography is also a class C felony.

The appeal didn't go over as well as people had hoped earlier this year:

there is still tonssss of ambiguities that do not allow it to be enforced or even applicable to the individual player. the WA gambling commission has openly stated that the law will not be enforced. when dino rossi becomes govt next year the bill will likely be overturned over the next few years.

i nor any of the many poker players in WA have been pursued in any way over this issue, nor will we because the govt would be a laughingstock once the media found out.

it's like driving one mile over the speed limit; not only will a cop not stop you, but if one does, if you get a good attorney a judge will throw your case out because there are simply enough ambiguities.
Whoa whoa whoa. Just because it's really hard to get in trouble for it doesn't make it un-illegal.

You make a decision to break the law living in Wa every time you log on and play. That's on you, you crazy law breaking citizen you.

Wouldn't it suck though, if they had one of those jail break mass assrests like they did for music media 5 years ago concerning the filesharing systems back in the day. I'd hate to see you on a superbowl commercial saying "Hi, I'm Wufwugy, and I take it up the butt daily from Bubba Joe over there, because gambling is illegal and I chose to break the law, repeatedly."

Illegal but unenforcable is still illegal. It's up to you to sleep at night.
