The Internet poker party is over-- at least if you're living and wagering in the United States. Federal prosecutors are targeting the Web's busiest gambling venues and Congress is preventing credit card companies from processing payments to them.

And at least one international organization says they're a violation of free trade. Tech Tuesday explores future of online gambling.
