In Europe the gambling it is legalized, at various levels. The state take a good % in tax (altough gambling companies may try to cheat state, it happened in Italy at least), and, the state give licenses so shady companies based in islands, owned by politicians + mafia guys together, those who previously managed the illegal betting and poker rooms in the various cities. If course if you legalize something that it managed illegally by some crime organizations, you can't have totally new clean people to start and take over this biz in one day... it will be who run illegal before, to become legal (somewhat, will still look godfather or pulp fiction guys) by going in bed with politicians to get a license from the state, in exchange of bribe or shareholding from same politicians.
Probably after several years those online licensed betting and poker and slot machine companies will become less shady, it is just matter of start legalize and license, and wait the replacement of management and shareholding with less shady people in the following years, until in let's say 20 years it may become a nearly normal biz and companies, like those who produce shoes or beer.
Europe started first, USA may follow with 10 or 20 years delay, unless world war's or Jesus appear in TV saying that betting it is a sin.
