It will depend entirely on where you are in the world. In some countries, in Asia for example, gambling of any kind, online or not, is illegal. In the UK Poker is legal online providing you have the right license. In the US it is a bit of a grey area. Poker, or gambling in general, is not illegal. However the online transaction of money for the process of gambling IS illegal. To get around this any poker room that accepts US players will be based off shore and away from the jurisdiction of this legislation.
Yes, it is illegal in the United States. This is why your bank will not allow you to directly deposit money into an online gaming site and you have to use a third party, such as PIC-CLUB, to add money to your account.

I know that the number of people playing online poker in the US for REAL money is in the tens of thousands. There are almost ten major poker sites that still take US players and there will be several thousand players on each site at any given time. Now if you add all the play money sites and people playing on facebook and sites like that i would reasonably guess 100,000+.

Yes, there are online sites that still allow people to play online. The most popular network for U.S players is Merge Gaming. The best site on that network is by far Carbon Poker. They offer a 100% deposit bonus, up to $600, and they have some awesome promotions going on right now. You could also try Aced Poker, which is another solid site on Merge gaming. Non-US players have got many more poker sites where one can play poker as not many countries have got restrictions on online poker. There are alot more sites than just Carbon and almost all offer atleast a 100% deposit bonus. Bovada is rated #1 by most websites devoted to reporting on U.S. online poker sites. Besides them there is JuicyStakes, Lock, BetOnline, Sportsbook, America'sCardroom, BlackchipPoker and a few more. I personally recommend JuicyStakes.
