New York Gambling Laws
The New York gambling laws are lenient for poker players. I did not find one law that says playing poker as a player is unlawful. The only law against players is a loitering law that states that you will be guilty of a violation if you are loitering for the purpose of playing cards. If these are all the laws against playing poker, then that should make online poker a legal form of poker in New York.
