Because Republicans would never ever go for it. If you prefer to believe otherwise, suit yourself.
Here's a snapshot look at Republicans saving us from ourselves:

House Financial Services Committee Votes to Approve Barney Frank's Internet Gambling Legislation
2010 July 28,

The eventual timeline of how officially legalized online poker came about in the United States will include a spot for July 28, 2010, the first time a licensing and regulatory bill received a positive vote at the federal level.
The
House Financial Services Committee passed
Barney Frank's Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act by a 41-22-1 vote....
The bill received overwhelming support from Democrats and some bipartisan support from Republicans. The Democrats voted 34-4 in favor of the legislation. Republicans gave it seven yes votes and 18 no votes.
Ron Paul (R.-Tex) voted present, essentially not passing or rejecting the bill.

And don't get me started on McCain trying for years to eliminate betting on college sports in Nevada. And his meddling sidekick, Jon Kyl, who apparently cannot bear the thought that so many Americans choose to wager online.
