Because Las Vegas casinos and their highly paid lobbyists want it to be illegal. They'd actually prefer it to be illegal for anyone but them to run a casino online, but having it be illegal for everyone is the next best option.
The government (both state and federal) would also prefer to get a cut of gambling profits.
On a state level, the three states with the most explicit anti-online gaming laws are three states with sizable casino operations: Nevada, Louisiana, and California.
