I think if they know if their casino is illegal in their country, they must ready for something like that. In my country, gambling is prohibited and whoever play and caught, go in jail. I think they just need to follow the rules from the country.
Or the casino business owners can run their casino in a secret place, and only trusted people who can join with them, and they only invite people who they known before. Usually, this type of casino has wealthy members who don't want to get caught by the police, and they pay for some money to corrupt police to protect their business. I think that it has run in many countries in which gambling is prohibited, but they are free to operate the casino.
Of course the gambling site owner will continue to run a gambling business whatever the risks and rules that exist in the country. I think it's a natural thing in every country, thats why we often hear of bribery cases about the establishment of a casino. any rules will not make them afraid to close their casino, they might make a hidden casino or bribe the police to allow them to play. wherever casino and gambling are always there, whatever the rules
