Following April 15, 2011 - known in the poker world as "Black Friday" - several of the most respected and widely used online poker websites, including Pokerstars and Fulltilt, stopped allowing players from the United States to play for real money. This has been devastating for what was once a thriving industry, and has forced U.S. poker players to different sites of lower quality (and sometimes questionable legality). If taxed, legalization of online poker could create much-needed revenue at the state and federal levels. As poker - and gambling in general - is something of moral ambiguity, and not considered "bad" by a population-wide consensus, there seems to be no good justification for maintaining its illegality.
