The "real" reason I think most of us can agree on is being spread from unknown sources, but makes a lot more sense, rather than, "the government is just greedy".
The simple fact is, since the US wasn't allowing cash to be going in these online poker sites, they had to figure out ways around this. Well this created what some of the US government like to call a "cash black hole", untraceable amounts of money, in fear of true crimes/terrorismn--the DOJ did the best thing they could, rather than to, "let this unknown cash flow" continue to flow in and (mostly) out of the US.
Its also more reasonable to say that these online casinos didn't strike any sort of deal per say, but draw attention to these issues with online poker, pretty much tattle-telling in kid terms.
Nana, gotchu, shift 3 bil this way..:icon_joke
