Any site or business could be used to launder money. I think that argument is constructed to push the automatic "well, we don't want that!" reaction.
Online gambling could have been altered to provide sufficient user identification. I think the anti-gambling arguments are codification of religious taboo. Organized crime is the shield it hides behind to avoid that separation of church and state issue.
