How is it different from smuggling fentanyl or taking hostages for ransom?

There will always be someone willing to do the work if the pay is good enough.

The former almost certainly causes much less societal damage than working for a pharma company that strives to get the whole population addicted to opioids, due to the scale constraints that come with running an underground business vs. an "above board" one.

Why do you think that gambling companies pay above the industry average for the required skillset?

Because luckily there are many other people with me who won't work for them, so they have a smaller pool of candidates and need to pay more.
