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.

I don't know exactly what you mean then.
Don't some people think it's morally acceptable to have legalized gambling as long as it is controlled and regulated within the US?

Some of the people who thought it was so immoral to have internet-gambling within the U.S. feel it's okay to have the carve-outs for the horse-racing stuff over the internet.
I guess I don't truly know whether they think the horse-racing stuff is somehow less immoral but that appears to be the case to me.

In other words, I've heard some of the Christian groups railing against the immoral and illegal internet-gambling sites but they are not screaming about the land-based casinos within the U.S. so I thought it was reasonable to deduce they are more comfortable with them.

I don't think they are just ignoring the land-based casinos just because it would be impossible for them to shut them down. I truly felt many conservatives had come to terms with land-based casinos and don't consider them to be as immoral as they perhaps previously did but they still have big issues with the internet-gambling stuff.
