It isn’t always that simple. It could lead to age verification requirements
You seem to be under the impression that gambling is illegal only for children in New York, but that’s not what’s happening here, gambling is illegal in New York for all ages.
It’s more I’m skeptical of government intentions these days. And not like the US government venture into the area is going to fill me with confidence.
When it comes to social media for example I’ve seen more comments and headlines of people saying stuff like it should be banned for younger people, which of course would mean the need for verification. Something companies like Palantir or links to it like Persona see money there is to make from it. And pushing for government contracts not just in the US but in the EU.
And think of the children has been a go to strategy to try to get people onboard with general push to collect more information.
Ideally straight up banning loot boxes and classifying it as Casinos would be ideal to kill it off. I’m just worried that it’s going to instead turn into a justification used to require ID collection, since what people see as a solution and the actual goal of governments don’t often align.

Well, not all forms. The State of New York runs a lottery itself, for example:
