Does that work or am I being ignorant about scheme of things?
I think you forgot about criminal activities, removing the two that you mentioned will not remove or prevent criminal activity. As you know, casinos have been known to be used as a front by crime syndicates to launder money or other fraudulent crimes that involve money. Regulation is one of the ways to prevent that from happening(at least that's what I have read). That's why AML is required in regulated casinos.
Personally,I think that's the major reason for a casino to get regulated.Generally,Regulation protects players and the ultimum reputation of the casino that's why it cannot be skipped upon importance and improvements.
If the public users finds out the casino is not regulated, they'll initially lose a sense of trust, and a reputation of safety for their privacy and data for that casino.Regulations of casino is a secure exercise for gambling;it shouldn't be avoided.
One thing that needs to be considered to trust the casino is able to protect its users' data is by seeing if the casino in question is regulated. This is intended to be able to control the flow of finances in and out to avoid crime syndicates. In addition, regulated casinos have certainly agreed to the taxes set by each government. Therefore, protecting the personal data of each user is mandatory for every casino that has agreed to these provisions.
