But you have to be physically present within the state of Nevada to play

Internet gambling scores its biggest win
New Jersey on Tuesday became the biggest state yet to allow regulated online gambling, establishing a template that proponents hope other states will follow for a business that federal authorities long treated as a criminal enterprise.
