I am sure you see why if the arguments are necesary at that level, you've lost already politically. You can't win by saying "It's not more addictive, its just a more effective delivery system for potential addicts"

Maybe you are right. My main point remains that Internet Gambling does not create addicts. Restricting access does not reduce the number of problem gamblers or the harm they do themselves, indeed you leave them with those providing illegal gambling services who are also happy to give credit with the addicts kneecaps as security. A ban helps the Mafia and the local spieler without helping the problem gambler.
