It's always been regulated to the hilt

Nationally? I think not.

because it's legalized gambling

Neither is gambling.

Insurance is also a 'special case' in a free market system. It's always been regulated to the hilt because it's legalized gambling and there is so much room for abuse.

If you're going to have "highly regulated" you're not also going to have "cheap".

Unnecessary regulation is a highly destructive influence.

The winner in the regulatory competition would by default be 'no regulation'.

That's possible but unlikely, and generally isn't the case in areas where we allow regulatory competition between states, or for the most part with regulatory competition between countries.
