Not that it matters but this will not stop government from passing laws against the American people and this industry.

In what is thought to be the first comprehensive, empirical study of online-gambling behaviors, Harvard Medical School's Division of Addictions characterizes a majority of online gamblers' behavior as "moderate," concluding that its findings do not support previously-made claims that online gambling has "an inherent propensity" to cause problem or "excessive" gambling.

" In other words, "as percent lost increased, duration of play, number of bets, bets per day, Euros per bet, and total wagers all decreased."

Duh.

When you're losing, stop betting.
Pretty simple, huh?

what do you expect form that hotbed of leftist moral relativism, Harvard? Focus on the Family has studied this in depth and has the opposite conclusion.

It would be interesting to see a comparison of online horse wagering (legal in most states) versus online sports betting (quasi-illegal everywhere except Nevada) and online poker (quasi-legal).

Harvard Study Finds Fears About Online Gambling Unsupported

I thought the biggest fear about online gambling was that it would undercut the horse tracks, lotteries and live action casinos and since it's off-short the feds and states couldn't tax it.

Let’s be realistic here...

The number one reason that on-line gambling is hated by the government is simply because it’s nearly impossible to tax. When the government can’t get its share of an enterprise, it must be banned!

The moral “justifications” are simply window dressing. No different from prostitution.
