Here is the difference. Places that have casinos allow gambling and therefore have legalized it. In other states gambling is not legal and therefore even doing it at home is illegal. Online gambling in the US is actually not legal. In many places in the US gambling is also not legal. Even if a state has no gambling laws, but you have an Indian Reservation, their rules are different and so gambling is legal on the reservation. Hope this helps.
