But it gets sticky to regulate online casinos if they are based in non-US countries.

Gambling losses are only deductable as itemized deductions up to the amount of gambling winnings, unless you are a professional gambler. This means that gambling cannot reduce your taxes, if fact, you can lose money and still end up owing more taxes.
