Because it's technically not the same legal system - the federal system currently has no jurisdiction over gambling, allowing each state to assert its own laws. The only law in the federal system which governs online betting - not gambling - is the Wire Act, and this has already been held to apply only to sports betting by at least one federal court in Louisiana.
Not wishing to rehash what has been discussed on the other forum, I'll just state my opinion briefly, which is that both sides share the blame, and that the operator needs to make a move towards meeting halfway at the very least because its share of the blame is arguably more than that of the player's.
