Yeah, if Coinbase knows that you did a "gambling" transaction they can close your account.
(Which as a side note is why it's a good idea to have an account set up on both Coinbase and Circle ahead of time. If one gets closed you can just use the other right away.)
Sending to a separate address in between makes it a little tougher for them to detect, and adds plausible deniability for you. They can't be sure that you owned the address in the middle.

^ That is one important reason.
Also, even a generous fee for the transactions is only gonna be about 2 cents.
And the extra time saved is only gonna be about 10 minutes on average.

^^ So, yes, it really is worth it to just do this every time.
