Is it legal to gamble online since the new Internet Gambling Prohibition Act?
Every year a different twist is added to the Internet mix and nothing ever stays the same for very long
The new bill does not make online gaming illegal where it was not illegal before. Let me say that again. The new bill does not make online gaming illegal.

In July 2006 the House of Representatives passed legislation that would make online gambling like in gagnantscasino.com makes transactions more difficult. Titled the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act, it prohibits casino sites and other gambling companies from knowingly accepting money from US clients. This bill cannot become law, however, until approved in the Senate.

Well it all really depends on the country or state,
Various forms of online gambling are legal and regulated by many countries, including most members of the European Union and several nations in and around the Caribbean Sea.
The government of the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, which licenses Internet gambling entities, made a complaint to the World Trade Organization about the U.S. government's actions to impede online gaming. The Caribbean country won the preliminary ruling but WTO's appeals body has partially reversed that favorable ruling in April, 2005. The appeals decision effectively allowed state laws prohibiting gambling in Louisiana, Massachusetts, South Dakota and Utah. However, the appeals panel also ruled that the United States may be violating global trade rules because its laws regulating horse-racing bets were not applied equitably to foreign and domestic online betting companies. The panel also held that certain online gambling restrictions imposed under US federal laws were inconsistent with the trade body's GATS services agreement.
