Yes, your instincts are correct. Gambling sites are seedy and gambling experience will make most grimace. Not just on moral grounds but it also suggests that you were desperate enough to take a job in this industry at some point. And desperation on resume = bin. That said we’re in deep recession. If you’re really stuck take it, keep looking for something better and leave it off your Resume. But *really* make it short term and avoid normalizing to it like the plague as you risk getting stuck in the industry due to reduced options.
