You missed my point. Unlike any other business, there are specific laws on the books to regulate gambling. It is a regulated industry, and cannot be reckoned as comparable to unregulated business. It is not a simple matter of "buyer beware".

How is regulating the gambling industry substantially different than regulating, for example, the insurance industry? The states manage to write and enforce their own regulations about that without the federal government.

It is my understanding that the state regulates gambling devices. How does the state authorize (and seal to prevent tampering) the internet gaming devices providing they do in fact fall within the states pervue?

The feds have nothing to do with it.
