The governments know that's $12 Billion taxable dollars they're loosing out on and the big players in gambling want a percentage of that $12 Billion as well. 9 out of 10 of the world's largest hotels were built for the sole purpose of gambling and they have a lot of cash to invest in technology, lobbying and bribes.
When you think about, the Internet is the government's worse nightmare. They can censor images of the war on TV and in print but are having a hard time doing it on the Internet. They can control stories within their own borders but not worldwide.
It's very difficult and those that don't want free speech hate the Internet. Just bring up the Internet on any right wing show and listen.
