Card counting was never illegal just hearsay. Obviously casinos worked hard to protect their interests and searched for many ways to thwart it plus after Thorpe released his book this became a huge problem for Casinos worldwide. Disinformation plus the fact they knew no one reads the rules/small print was the direct reaction to this.
