SEC requirement is a side effect of the fact that contracts are enforceable in a court of law.

Every conceivable agreement, written and unwritten, is enforceable in a court of law. By your rationale, this justifies gatekeeping every form of human interaction.
No. Far from it. If you buy cocaine from Colombia your contract won't be enforceable in a court of law.
I mean everything not prohibited. Your argument now is tautological.
You are still wrong though :) Gambling contracts are legal in a lot of states. They are also generally not enforceable through courts. If my argument is tautological (I think not), yours is just factually wrong :)
Can you give an example of a legal gambling contract that is unenforceable in court, and provide a source?

At least you're admitting you were making a tautological argument.
