Only one small difference...
Using drugs is illegal. Playing online poker isn't.

According to you. Not according to the DOJ.

The DOJ has never said that playing online poker is illegal.

This would be relevant it Neteller only processed gambling transactions for poker, but it does a whole lot more processing than just poker-- some of which the DOJ expressly does consider illegal. In addition, most of the poker sites were also tied to sportsbook/casino sites. Neteller can very fairly claim not to know what to do with the money and request for guidance by the DOJ.
If you don't think that Neteller and the DOJ are jockeying for legal position with your (our) money as a bargaining chip you are not applying your common sense to everything you have heard.
