One of the main reasons is that both online casinos and poker rooms have been illustrating how they have been blocking underage players out of their establishments - obviously this is failing in a very public way. It only takes a couple of high profile incidents to derail any argument that pro-gaming legislators may have. Main stream media eat this up in a big way.
If online gaming is going to be legalized (regulated) for Americans, we'll probably see some sort of ridiculous paranoid ID checking that Americans are so famous for; i.e. carding anyone who appears under the age of forty at the door of some club. This will probably stunt any sort of poker/casino growth in the US.
