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.Poker Ping....

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.
