USA players using credit cards to deposit
Why is it that on some sites, like UltimateBet, U.S. players can deposit using VISA/Mastercard. While on other sites, such as PokerStars, it says your card does not accept online gaming transactions? This becomes a real problem for me, as I have to wait and pay fees to use Epassporte.

Why wouldn't they change their processor. Is stars aware of this? |

When they get caught (and I'm sure they get caught often) they face huge fines from Visa/MC. Other poker rooms probably don't want to risk the fines and be dishonest like UB does. |
