The truth is the US actually decided to stop net gambling originally. The result of that was that, (ignoring offshore of a moment) gambling operations set up in other countries and in a number of these countries - they bent over backwards to accomodate gambling operations.

Now that net gambling is established and developing in those jurisdictions, it "may" be the US is now more concerned about the money they lost. It may be some of the larger gambling ops will end up with some form of base in the US, but more lightly stay outside US jurisdiction simply because of the fickle whims.

A number of offshore operations are run by US citizens in some form - they sure as hell are not going to give up their businesses to relocate in the US again.
