I think you should frame your questions a little less loaded in the future, but I do think you're also making a good point. Ethical sponsorship management isn't easy, and certainly not a set of trade skills I would expect to find in software development by default, because why would you? I think the main reason you see less "unethical" sponsorships in OSS projects in general is because a lot of OSS developers are rebels who have an innate hatred for corporate and evil.
I certainly get why gambling could make its way into game engine sponsorships since it's not exactly easy to gather money through sponsorships. It is a little like having a big game hunting company sponsor your national park though. I'm not even sure if I think it's wrong, but it's certainly a risk in terms of it potentially causing some PR issues down the line.
