Don’t think that it will hold up in a court of law since online gambling is just that -federal jurisdiction!

This is not correct. Federal law only takes precedence when there is a conflict between it and state law. However, the issue is not in the federal government’s “jurisdiction”.

That said, federal law is not in conflict here. Gambling online is already illegal technically. If you wish to argue that the Federal Wager Wire Act is not up to date, then that means there is no law and thus state law takes precedence. Furthermore, there is, as far as I know, no federal law that says spreading gambling information on the Internet is legal, therefore the state law takes hold.
