THE REASON: They say societal costs will far outweigh the benefit to tax coffers.

THE BACKDROP: The U.S. Justice Department ruled in December that in-state online bets not involving sports teams do not violate federal law. That has touched off a race by cash-strapped state governments to try to legalize Internet gambling.
