I am unaware of any morality distinction that has been drawn between Internet gambling and casino gambling.

I think this is way wrong.
You might not have seen it but it's definitely been out there imo.
Some of the politicians think it is really incorrect to let people gamble in the privacy of their own homes on these horrible unregulated sites that can allow kids and where you can 'click your mouse, lose a house'.
They argue that the land-based casinos in the U.S. are somehow better because they are tightly regulated with gaming-commissions, watch for problem gamblers, don't allow in underage gamblers, etc.

Furthermore, many of the people who have problems with online-gambling are most concerned about the sports-betting.
Land-based casinos are legal in many many states now but sports-betting is only legal in Nevada.

I'm aware of these arguments, they are not a "morality distinction". OP was based on morality, which is why I took issue with it.
