If online casinos were allowed to be run from the US, it would be much easier to hold them to a legal standard.
Given that the US is willing to arrest any executive from an online casino, they end up being based in places like Gibraltar. Now that its nearly impossible for sometime to take legal recourse against them, it makes it much more enticing to cheat, steal, etc.
Allows those casinos to be run in the US, and regulate and tax them, and suddenly, you have a lot of legitimate business vying for customers. You will also gain a lot in taxes, along with a bunch of the religious right claiming "you're ruining society".
