If you show up to a casino and don't play by its rules, that's fraud. If you show up to a chess tournament and use an engine to win $1 million, that's fraud, too. There's an implied contract when you play a game that you are going to play by the rules. This is why card counting isn't illegal, by the way, because it's within the rules of the game. Same with understanding the imbalances in a roulette wheel.

Although card counting isn't illegal, it's also not tolerated, and if they casino thinks you are doing it you'll be asked to leave, or escorted out.

Right, but casinos hate card counters, and will kick them out if they discover what's going on. So why isn't card counting simply against the rules of the game? Seems pretty ridiculous for a casino to get to write laws in the first place. But then we have some game rules that, if broken, are arbitrarily promoted to criminal acts, while others will simply get you corrected or booted. Seems pretty messed up.
