Well that's actually a great analogy, because you kind of can, can't you? And in professional sports there's tons of money on the line, but if a player does something against the rules and isn't punished for it at the moment they aren't charged with fraud.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoPlayers routinely get fined after the fact by these organizations for rule-breaking during the game, even when it gets past a referee. Those rules are not legislated, but defined in a civil contract. If they were legislated like the rules of gambling gmes, it would be a crime.

Outright theft, sure; criminalize that all day long. But if the dealer gives you chips after you do something in-game that breaks the rules, that's on the casino for not training their dealers better. (Or in the case of electronic craps, for not writing their software better.)
