CCP makes money from PLEX sales that get used to fund gambling accounts. The second they receive any legal heat about this, it will be against the EULA.

The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper: 'Hodor'.

You'd almost be right, except for the simple fact that none of us 'own' anything in EVE. CCP 'owns' all of our ships, ISK, items and characters. It says so, right there in the ToU and EULA that you agreed to when setting up your EVE Online account. That makes legal heat of the kind you're suggesting very, very difficult to apply. You'd also have to do so under Icelandic law in Icelandic courts.
Ummm, no... Anywhere CCP has offices (at least) is a potential legal venue. They don't just operate out of Iceland.
All you need is a prosecutor in one or more of those venues (countries) that is willing to start an action, and it's just not worth it financially, or for the press involved for CCP to defend it to allow the practice to continue.
If you need an example, look at what just happened to Valve, and how they swiftly evaded litigation dealt with the problem by altering their EULA.
