I don't like the attitude that gambling is purely an issue of personal liberty, and that opposing unrestricted gambling is nanny statism. Gambling itself isn't inherently wrong or immoral, but there's a lot of potential for exploitation, fostering gambling addictions, and causing people to throw their money away. Like others have stated, there's more of a potential for the negatives of gambling to affect people when the practice is accessible online, so it should be illegal, or at the very least, not easily accessible.
