Well, I hope you US folks remember how this lead to your money being trapped in limbo while the polititians obtained funding from the vested interests of land casinos.
In any other "crime", the US legal system try to seek compensation for the victims, but in this case they are doing their best to prevent US citizens from deciding to end their relationship with online gambling by causing their funds to be trapped eternally in cybercasinoland; naturally, the land casinos hoping for business will be most disappointed as all the gambling money is now tied up, and other US citizens will see this unfold and come to the conclusion that gambling operators are ALL "criminal organisations masquerading as legitimate businesses", and this will apply to B & M casinos too, as some now have their own online versions for non-US customers, more particularly the big UK bookmakers.
