There is a vast difference in transporting drugs across jurisdictional borders - drug trading is (least normally) a criminal offense in most countries and treaties exist for cooperation by law enforcement etc.
Gaming activity is not a criminal offense in most nations. Gaming is also not an "extraditable offense". Even if it was an extraditable offense, no court will agree with any extradiction if the alleged offense is not an offense within the jurisdiction of the court (ie there is no offense to start with). Bottom line - other nations have no interest in the the domestic laws of the US unless they relate to extradition agreements or existing treaties for cooperation.
